Wildlife of Jamaica

While I was looking back through the pictures on my camera, I realized that I had quite a collection of wildlife shots.  No one said they were going to make National Geographic, but I thought I'd share some with you.

This bad boy was taking himself for a brisk walk down the road, bleating all the way.  Perhaps he knew that curried goat is a favourite dish here.

Looking carefully, you can just see the spotted stingray that went past the boat.  They really do "fly" through the water.  He must have been about 2 feet wide, but with a much longer tail.

This is my resident Doctor Bird.  He molted his tail feathers a month ago, and they are growing back now.

This guy landed on the wall outside, and was probably 4-5 inches wide.  You can see he's a lucky one, as he got away with only a bit out of his tail!
 
Last, as total non sequitur, see below for my latest pie creation - Banoffee pie, or Banana-toffee pie.  You don't even wanna know what went in there. Next project is a pumpkin pie in honour of Canadian Thanksgiving this weekend.
