Meet Kramer the Macaw

September 8, 2010 by bobcatou

Very early the other morning I was heading to the restroom on the South Campground here at Zion National Park and I saw this man leaving the bathroom with a parrot on his shoulder. Quite honestly, it was early and I just thought I must of imagined it. Low and behold I heard the bird later in the day and saw she and her owner at a nearby campsite.

The bird’s name is Kramer and she has been with her owner for 17 years. She pretty much goes everywhere with her owner, Dr. Glenn Greenfield. She even goes mountain biking with him. Below is a video about the bird and her owner.

Don’t Mess With a Camper Before His Coffee.

I’ve found on the road that pretty much any cup of coffee tastes better than no coffee when you are camping and at Zion National Park, that is no different. Any coffee drinker knows what I mean. We really like our coffee in the morning.

Nightlife On The Outer Banks

Earlier this week, I took my video camera and a flash light and walked The Outer Banks at night. Here I got some great shots of sand crabs and other various things going on along the shore. After that I laid in the sand for about a hour just star gazing and soaking up the night. This was one of my best evenings here.
