While we take a nap...

For the past few days mom has been getting us up early to watch the sunrises and long unleashed walks. When she is all done with her chores we allow her to go exploring while we take much needed naps. So here's some more photos that she took yesterday while visiting the Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge and Lighthouse.

 

 
 52 feet tall and it has a basement


 
The refuge is home to albatross and a number of other sea birds. If you look closely you will see white spots in the middle of the above photo. Those spots are actually albatross that have just returned from Alaska. In the near future the mating pairs will prepare nests for their new families.
 
This is a wedge tail shearwater chick. It still has down,
so it will be a short time til it's time to FLY!!
 
 This little guy (wedge tail shearwater) is ready for his
 first flight, which should be any day.

Happy Thursday!!
