We went to investigate some mud appearance tht people were saying was a Volcano in Cedros and there Mr snake was crossing the road. So we stopped and watch him safely into the bush and went along our way :mrgreen:
woow!! .........a pink snake!!........or bad lighting :lol:

The snake wasnt pink. It did have a rainbow effect while moving.
I think the guys said it was a Boa.

^snake must be fraid you more.
I was in forest one time and I sitting under a tree. Next thing you know I hearing some noise like leaves rustling. When I look up I saw a snake climbing down the branches of a tree behind me. I just get up and watch it come down becos I ent want tht doing he thing behind me.
A lot of times in the forest you don't see the snakes but you smell them. Sorta this 'fresh' smell. So the older bush men wud say snake in the area. :lol:
I did some weeks intern at wildfowl trust and they had a snake there. I decided tht before I left I wud touch it. They men said tht snake cud sense fear so don't touch it if I afraid. So I did eventually touch it. Wht I can tell you it feels like is jello. Soft and cool.

Whaz de scene Falcs? I meant the huge arsed boa constrictors. It cute to have some animals when they small and tame and mean u no harm but these large basstids mean u harm sensed fear or not. IMHO ;)
Falcon
12-05-2007, 07:34 AM
Well, I dont know if I'd say boas are 'obviously predatory'. Most snakes above 15 feet long STILL either run away from humans or lay low in people's presence. The legendary ones above 25 feet are reported to just stare at you.
eh heh^.........just stare at you :roll: ........if i was a hungry 25foot long snake i not staring at you :roll:

It was a nice chilly evening in St. Petersburg Fl. The beach was nice to walk on and pick up shells... the water too cold to bathe in. So after walking on the beach, we washed our feet at the "stand pipe" outside the snack shop. While drying off the feet......one of the kids asked very nicely and calmly... "Is that a snake?".......well from de corner of meh right eyes ah spotted a black "patch"......... boi...... is tuh see how I scream and run in de opposite direction.............NOW hear this! The snake too went in the opposite direction.... at the front of the building.... right where I have to pass to go to the car.............de snake just glide it's merry way across my part into a nearby garden not even acknowledging any one's presence..............Why we humans so!

^^^^ We always fear that which we know nothing or too little about. Be it diseases, other races and simple things like food and music.
I fear the pain the stuff cud cause but me eh fraid the animals themselves...well kinda. Some animals whether they be harmless or not does scare de living daylights out of me.
Are those the mountain doves? They call them ramier? Sp?
you could be right about the names. It does bear a resemblance to this one: http://ruchet.com/oiseaux/pigeon-ramier/DSC_1645.jpg
maybe the ttonline inhouse birdman can shed some light here?
Here is a photo of what I think is one of the birds nesting and another photo showing the eggs.
Falcon
12-05-2007, 06:43 PM
Ama, while doves and pigeons share many characteristics in classification, your pictures are definitely doves and the above link is for a pigeon. There is a lot of interchange in the names, and in fact some obvious pigeons are called doves. I know we have ground doves in TT, and maybe even Caribbean doves. Columbina would be the genus of a few of the ground dove species, if in fact there are a few.
thx falcon
Im glad I dont have to call my dove a pigeon now :)

wat is a wholly worm caterpillar? :oops:and ah spell it wrong too! It is wooly........alyuh no how ah does spell! :roll:
It is the larva or worm of the beautiful tiger moth that we see in the summer. It has beautiful striped wings and black dotted body. Folklore in these neck of the woods, says that when they are spotted in the Fall, if they are brownish.... then we're in for a mild winter. But if they're black.........then we're in for a very cold winter! :) There are even festivals named after those worms / caterpillars / larva in North Carolina.

There are approximately 5,000 dragonfly species, 2,000 praying mantis, 20,000 grasshopper, 170,000 butterfly and moth, 120,000 fly, 82,000 true bug, 360,000 beetle, and 110,000 bee, wasp and ant species described to date. Estimates of the total number of current species, including those not yet known to science, range from two million to fifty million, with newer studies favouring a lower figure of about six to ten million.

Most of these probably live close to you :)

It look a bit like a tanager but as roger said, it's officially related to the other cardinals: grosbeak etc.

Let me give some local birds whose pictures I will like to see:
A vieux mal (old male semp) - arguably the best ramajaying bird
The arandao - most scandalous bird
The black crow I think - greediest corn bird
The singing angel - known for its outstanding sky roll and handsome looks
The cravate - cleanest 'wheet'
Also what good is a bird without food? So some picts of semp/ balsam vase with fruit, cravate vase and bearing candlestick will do fine.

bw.. mayaro is infamous for them at this time of the year
some info here on treatment:
Prevent further stings. Carefully lift off tentacle remnants, using a stick or gloved fingers. Do not rub the tentacles off, as this will cause more nematocysts to sting.
Next, rinse the affected area with seawater. Do NOT use fresh water or vinegar, as these may cause the stinging cells to discharge all at once and may greatly worsen the sting! Do not scrub the affected area. [vinegar, papain (as in meat tenderizer), baking soda, urine, or aluminum sulfate all may deactivate the toxin, but they may also cause the stinging cells to discharge all at once, possibly intensifying the injury]
Ice may be applied to reduce pain and swelling.

Ama, it's a baby; so has its baby plumage. Will have to study carefully to get you a name.....
later edit: Insectivorous looking beak.......yellowish belly...is that some sort of kiskadee or other flycatcher?

Yes Shaddeck, Amzz is correct that is a mama tayta. I had a few of those when i used to mine aquarium fishes. They help to keep the tank clean and they don't do the other fishes anything. most of the time they just stay to the bottom of the tank. They cannot be caught with a hook.

Amzz, I like those birds...I just like their plumage. It's beautiful :)
yes indie, it is beautiful. I think it has an injury of some kind where the feathers are white.
Awww. A squirrel eating plum
Nice photography amzz

Amazing......something else Hamelia should note is the bland American Grey Squirrel all over hingland. AMA, that photo made me homesick, honestly.
falcon, I have gotten similar responses on fauna and some landscape photos from trinis living abroad.
this plum tree is touching the porch and there are 2 squirrells that come everyday to feed (I dont disturb them).
took this photo from the kitchen

Beautiful bird Amzz! Trinidad has the MOST beautiful birds I have ever seen. I remember the first time I came, I was like "Hey look a blue bird!!!!...hey look! a yellow bird with black head!!!!..." lol and everyone of course is looking at me like..."soooo?" lol
Well after growing up seeing this bird EVERYWHERE:
