A Cuban Bird of Prey, Other Birds, a Hermit Crab and a Goat

Sticking with the animal theme, I noticed a few more photos of birds from my trip to Cuba. I don’t know what any of them are, so feel free to identify them for me. I saw this bird, for instance, on the way to Havana.

(The next and last animal-themed set of photos from our trip to Cuba: Mangy Dogs. After that: Cuban Cars. Stay tuned!)

The same bird sitting on a post:

And this bird was circling the field the whole time. It’s some kind of bird of prey, maybe?

These goats were in the same field during a stop on our way to Havana:

What would life be without goats?

Here’s another crane. They were all over the resort.

And finally a hermit crab I spotted near some jungle woods on a small island we stopped off at during a boat tour:

I’ll go into more detail about our trip when I starting running out of photos. I also brought along my Zoom sound recorder to capture the sounds and music of Cuba. All the music we encountered was great. Anyway, I’ll share my thoughts on that later. Next up: Mangy dogs!
