James Island


Our next stop was Puerto Egas on James Island. When we first arrived, we saw our favorite friends and one of them was perched on a comfy spot. I perched right up next to him and he proceeded to make friendly noises and kissing movements in my direction - to cute!

We found yet another type of bird on this island called the oyster catcher. We stopped and watched them while looking at the beautiful scenery and tide pools.

We met another friend who is very similar to the sea lion, but this is the fur seal. You can tell the difference because they have much thicker necks. They also have different ´feet´ and cannot walk as easily as the sea lions. Their fur looks much softer, but it was difficult to tell because they are also much more shy and wouldn't let us get close.



Over by the fur seals, there was beautifully formed land and we could see sea turtles swimming around in the water below. Beautiful island!
