There are three man-made lakes at Chapultepec Park, Mexico City: one located in Section I, named Chapultepec Lake, and two located in Section II: Lago Mayor (Bigger Lake) and Lago Menor (Smaller Lake). You’ll see many ducks, egrets, and other birds in all of them.

At the two bigger lakes, you can rent a pedal boat or a canoe by the hour

Spoonbills, specifically the roseate spoonbill, are native to Florida and are common in coastal areas, marshes, and lagoons throughout the state. A roseate spoonbill is not a flamingo. While both are wading birds with bright pink plumage, they are not closely related. Roseate spoonbills are closely associated with ibises, pelicans, herons, and egrets.

There are few experiences quite as thrilling as seeing the wild Spanish Mustangs roaming freely on the beautiful sandy beaches of North Carolina’s Outer Banks. Known as the Spanish Mustangs of Corolla, these stunning horses have roamed this harsh and unforgiving land for almost 500 years. Yet, despite the obvious obstacles they face and the seemingly sparse supply of food, they have thrived here since they first arrived with the Spanish explorers of the early 16th century.

Due to the cold weather the mustangs didn’t venture on to the beach, so we had to settle on seeing them on the dunes.
