I've been away from blogging for awhile as I enjoyed a 10-day pseudo-retirement cruise in the Caribbean. Today's Wings on Wednesday image of a Tri-colored Heron in Cockburn Town Grand Turk will kick off a series of posts about my cruise.
It wasn't a birding cruise, so I'll be sharing images of birds but also of other wildlife we encountered (wild and otherwise), plus some of the excursion fun we enjoyed.
Our ship, the Costa Atlantica, took us to Key West FL - Grand Turk, Turks & Caicos - Grand Cayman - Ocho Rios, Jamaica - Roatan, Honduras - Cozumel, Mexico. Stay tuned and join me on a journey through the Caribbean!

Unrelated to this post (I haven't been keeping up this year)... Have you seen red winged blackbirds yet this year? I saw the males yesterday. Early, isn't it?! I'm in the capital district.
