Mongoose At Sunrise - My Favorite
This was probably my favorite of the shots I took of the Mongoose while I was on the "Big Island". My son and myself stayed at the Waikoloa Hilton. The place is huge. It covers 63 acres. It was a one mile walk from our room to the car park. Stacy, has an app on his iPhone that was tracking us where ever we went. We averaged 8-10 miles of walking a day. I know one day it was well over 12 miles. Always, had my camera with me. Like a barbell! ;-) Weighs 8 pounds! Gave me a good workout. We did several trips to Hilo. Stacy did a lot of snorkeling. After seeing the pictures Stacy posted on FaceBook, my oldest son Scott, booked 8 days there next April for him and his family and Jan is looking going there next spring.
I think there are more flowers in April/May. But, I still found lots to take pictures of.
Mongoose move like greased lighting and often run when you are still 75-100 feet away. But, I had learned a lot on my April trip and it made it a little easier getting some shots this trip. They forage for grubs in the lawns. The lawns there are very thick & plush. Feels like you are walking on very thick carpet.
Lots of Sea Turtles in the lagoon there. I saw 8 in one morning.
Camera Settings: f/4 - 1/160 - 215mm - ISO 320
