Birds
Some of the typical birds we see here are the Belted Kingfisher, Royal Tern, Magnificent Frigate, Great Blue Heron, Smooth-billed Ani,, Cormorants, and Bananaquits, etc. etc. (Ben's boss is a bit of a bird watcher, so Ben has learned a lot, not to mention the numerous birding books, binoculars, and scopes around)
Here's a few pics of ones close by...

Sea Life
This little green sea turtle was swimming and feeding in the canal by the house. Of course, when they spot you, they go for a long swim, so I hid with my camera until he came back for air. Adorable!
