Maui 2009: The Wildlife

Posted in ThisNThat

The biggest treats we were unable to catch on film.  These are the unbelievable variety of fish we saw while snorkeling, and the sea turtles.  Best snorkeling was an Kaanapali Beach by Westing KOR North, and sea turtles at Napili Bay.  We actually had a turtle swim right along our feet! 

This bird lives in the koi pond at the Westin Kaanapali Villas North.  every year, we enjoy watching him track and catch small fish...


The koi...

The geckos...

This little fella jumped off of a tree to what we thought was the ground.  I later discovered while removing my barette, that he was on my head!  He them jumped onto my chest and I was able to take him back outside (after screaming, of course...)...

I still can't believe 'A' found this one.  This gecko is about the size of a child's finger.  Can you see it on the black strip?

Little crabs were all over this little beach in Kihei.  The had holes dug in the sand and would pop out of them if you were quiet.
