We went down to Bird Island today. We hiked down to the island, snorkeled inside the reef for a bit, went back onto the island to take some pictures, and then snorkeled outside of the reef for a bit.
The Japanese used to call Bird Island "Moon Viewing Island." I tried to take a photo that incorporated the moon, the birds, and the island. The above photo is what I came up with.Bird Island deserves her name. There truly are a lot of birds there.
I took a few pictures of some other birds, too. Here are just a few:White Tailed Tropicbirds:
Golden White Eye (Cleptornis marchei):
Bridled White Eye (Zosterops conscilliatus):
Black Noddy:
We saw a few other things, too. I still don't have an underwater camera, so you will have to make do with above water shots for a few more weeks. Here you go:
