There were many Spotted Doves in the neighborhood where I stayed. They had a much deeper call than the smaller and more numerous Zebra Doves that also lived there.

Everyone loves to watch dolphins play and show off their amazing skills.
|
We were watching the dolphins I had wished for and then a whale showed up to join the party!
|
I always hoped to see and photograph that moment when the whale's tail was fully visible and suspended before its dive. Moment achieved!
|
Another shot of the nearby and amazing whale that approached our boat.
|
Sailing back from a long afternoon I wished for Dolphins and within five minutes they appeared! Such an accommodating and beautiful creature.

The Red-footed Booby showing off those incredible red feet! Could they be the inspiration for Christian Louboutin shoes or the Ruby Slippers?
|
There were many of these small, fast songbirds in the trees around the house. They were always on the move and only stopped for seconds at a time. Cute though.
|
A Northern Cardinal was not a bird I expected to see in Hawaii.
|
As you can see, the whale came very close to our boat. Very close.
|
Java sparrows were abundant in the neighborhood. Cute and colorful little birds that weren't really sparrows, but were instead finches.
|
The male Shama that lived in the yard where I stayed was not nearly as friendly as the female from the breadfruit farm. I heard him often but usually only caught glimpses now and then. This photo shows his signature white rump.

Gecko explored the tabletop on the lanai. They really were everywhere.
