Wildlife of the Turks and Caicos - Part 1

A Male Night Heron

Pounder: A Potcake, local term for a wild dog, but he is not a wild. He is my boss' dog.

Cows that run wild all over the island and in our yard!


A gecko in our house. He is next to a nail head. He was very small.

A Female Nigh Heron

The cows were left on the islands along with donkeys and horses to help with labor and for food during the early years of salt raking. I will post the donkeys later. The cows in this pictures must of come from up from the beach because we have cow guards leading into the neighborhood. More interesting animals to come!

My Abode and my Workplace

A person, who shall remain nameless (you know who you are), requested pictures of the house I am living in and the museum I am working at. The first picture is the house and the second is the museum. The museum looks out over the water! We can see the cruise ships coming in from there.

Beach

The museum house is on Corktree Beach here. We only have to walk a bit down the road to get to the beach. It is great. I can go for a swim anytime. What is also really nice is that it is only knee deep for a long ways so you can walk pretty far out. You have to be careful though because there is coral, a shipwreck, sea urchins, and lion fish. So far so good. Below are some pictures of the beach and a recent sunset.
