Birds of Bonaire
(click on thumbnail for full-size image)

There are more than 190 species of birds in Bonaire, including tons of flamingos. Most of these pictures were taken driving through Washington-Slagbaai National Park on the north end of the island. Near one fresh water spring, the birds were completely unafraid of us and came right up to us - we hoped it wasn't because they had been fed by humans.
