Ready to leave on a cruise to watch whales in Kauai while on vacation in March 2004.

Kauai is our favorite place where we have vacationed each year since our first trip in 2001.

We did see whales, Humpbacks swimming around us in the water. More photos of whales are available on the family web site.

Colophon

The bird featured on my top banner line is a Great Frigate bird with a wingspan of about 7 to 8 feet. This is a seabird that dives from a great height straight down into the ocean to grab his evening meal: fish. The Great Frigate bird is also considered a pirate bird that intimidates fellow seabirds and steals their food.

Great Frigate birds mainly eat fish and squid. They occasionally supplement their diet with crustaceans, jellyfish, young turtles, baby birds, and eggs.

I took this photo at the Kilaueu Refuge on the island of Kauai in March 2004. From a certain angle, these birds look like giant Pterodactyls as can be seen in the picture to the right. This is another photo I took at the Kilaueu Refuge a year ago.
