Savary Island Part 2

So, we survived our first night on the futon bed (who ever came up with that idea - shoot 'em LOL). We hopped on the bikes and started exploring the island. And what a truly beautiful and breathtaking island it is!

Here are my favorite wildlife shots:


This cute little owl swooped over heads while we were bikeriding! I LOVE owls.



We were lucky enough to have this giant eagles nest right behind our cabin - how cool is that?


Here you can see momma eagle (or daddy eagle - what do I know?) calling for the little guy.






The little one wasn't ready to leave the safety of home tho - can't blame him.





I talked to a lady a few days after, and she said to keep watching as sometimes the parents will literally push the little ones out of the nest in order to make them fly. And guess what?? Yep, I saw it, I saw daddy eagle (well, I am sure it was the dad, as mom's would NEVER EVER do such a horrible thing!) open his giant wings and push that poor little guy right out of the nest! It was incredible. The little one screamed and complained while he slowly flew right over my head. Is that cool or what?

While walking along the beach, we found mommy and daddy hanging out on the beach as well.



The tidal pools are fantastic and this is one of the many things we found:









The kids were obsessed with the jelly fish - they loved finding them and
poking the dead ones!





This little crab was in the water - blows me away how clear the ocean is on Savary!





And a couple more of beautiful Mermaid Beach:





And in case you were wondering why "Mermaid" Beach - this is why -
she sits on this huge boulder - all serene and looks like she's keeping
a watchful eye over the ocean. I like her.


Well, there is a ton more - and I will share some more of my favorites next time.
Toodles :)
