Guirigay,
Bring your Binocs to the falls, I'm sure you'll get some quality bird watching in.

I'm glad so many people are contemplating Rocklands.
It was absolutely our best planned activity.
My favorite thing is being in the water, but on land Rocklands was special.
If you plan a trip there make sure there are no cruise ships in Mo-bay on the day you're going.
I think Alfred told us cruise ships are not in Mo-bay on Mondays and that's how we planned our trip.
I'm not sure that's a constant rule though, so it is worth checking.
You could easily loose the quality of the experience if you were mobbed.
Also get there as early as possible - always better for birding.

Lady Jane,
I've had a chickadee do that too.
It's the same with a hummingbird (they're just more exotic), but the thrill is the same.
Great pix Rum. A caution to anyone wanting to visit the Bird Sanctuary, they keep unusual hours. Twice we have attempted to go but the opening/Closing times thwarted us.
Respect,

Binoculars! totally slipped my mind, now on the packing list.
What's so funny 'bout Peace, Love and Understanding?
Binocs are handy for sea watching too.
Oh finally got my internet hooked up today and briefly flicked through this what looks an amazing report and saw my name jump out at me on page 13 and 14 how exciting LOL now I will dedicate tomorrow morning to catching up on this report and what I have been missing, it looks a good 'un
Tic-toc,
You were a big influence on our trip.
I can't tell you how many pairs of shoes Mrs. Peel packed (including some stilettos).
At one point when Mrs. Peel was packing (I was videoing) she said, " Don't shoot my toes I haven't had my [toe] nails done yet."
Here are a few shots of Rockland's Feeding Station grounds:
Jamaican doves (very similar to Mourning Dove - but the tail is shorter)
Giant jungle grown begonias
Calla Lily (?)
Pink Begonia Flowers
This man seems to be picking breadfruit
We stopped at this Jerk stand for lunch.
We told Alfred we'd pop for lunch. All he wanted was the soup. He recommended it to us. I heard the name of the soup but Mrs. Peel didn't. She ordered it on Alfred's say-so. She found this big chunk in the soup and bit into it. She thought the texture was strange and asked me what the big chunk was. "Well it's Chicken foot and cow skin soup, so I'm guessing that's a chunk of cow skin."
"Want some more?" she asked.
Look at the fruit arrayed on the stone shelves. Alfred bought some finger bananas from this man.
More to follow
Dat true, but the poor guy can't find his bowl 'cause it's on top of his head, lol ....Originally Posted by Rum-polephoreskin
