Looks like Charlotte sneaking a peek.

Looks like "light" through a window....on the shore!

Morning everyone. It feels chilly here today, and I think rain is on it's way. Think I shall just stay here and watch the cams. Annie B.

Satchmo looks lonely this morning.

Hi folks,
I have a big problem, my putter is down ! I am writting from Jean Paul's one, but can't work anymore. I have to wait for his return, cause I don't know how to repair.
Cynde, case you pop out, here what is done : Charlotte,bluebeard,tweety,bluetang,charlie,spike,yellowtail,puff,sarge,scrawled filefish,spotted trunkfish,honeycomb cowfish,bar jack.
Can't even get or send any message at the present time.
Annie, seems both have problems today...
Try to catch you later.

Can't believe it, it's 28 degres Celsius in the sun outside on my kitchen window thermometer ...

\Happy Hump Day, All. We've a visitor at the gate!


Enjoying the new project Martine!

Good Morning,Afternoon All

Yes...as Eileen said - lots of white stuff...and still falling!!

But Bonaire is ONLY 10 days away!! YIPEE!!

Visitors at the gate



Bill

Great job on the critter id site, Martine!!

Martine. I hate it when that happens. I got my emails up and running again. 'Puter is awfully slow at uploading the pics though. Annie B.

Playing with my new toy.

They don't want to go home. Can't blame them either.

hi martine, will make a note of it. i worked on a few more of the description pages last night. i will email them when i get to work. also, i will find the squid, octo and jelly, and any others...take a break gal! i think i may be able to get them all done today...going to take lunch in at the office so i will use that time to finish them! thanks again for all your hard work!

Thanks Cynde,
Well this putter out of order gives me the opportunity to have a little break :o)
Don't worry, I have all the other latin names except those you mentionned.
I'll tell you in a couple of hours if Jean Paul can fix my putter, if not, I'll give you his email to send me the files.
Will prepare him a nice dinner, perhaps it will help to get this putter fixed faster :o)
(geez, can't even reach my smileys...)
Catch you later

Hello everyone, here some pics to got missed
Joost

another visitor at the gate

this one is looking for you Martine

Hi, Annie...cool new toy...and Martine and Cynde...things look like they're coming along well! Spent a lot of time last evening going through the groups....trying to get the names down so I don't get the fishes mixed up in the future...Joost you beat me to that fish post! Hope everyone's having a great day!

And the street looks busier than the water today!

Hi, I havent posted anything for ages but have been enjoying all the chat - but I had to say what a great reefdwellers site you have set up - it is really great, lots of hard work but well worth it especially for the fishilliterate amongst us!! I did think that the trunkfish might be called Gucci - luggage, get it?!

Thanks all for the great pictures. I love looking at what I have missed. Thanks to everyone here maybe I can get through all of them in time for my trip in June.
Carmen

Looks like someone has tied up. Charlotte's hanging around to see if there will be visitors.

Bubbles coming up from over the wall. Hopefully Charlotte's wait will be rewarded.

Visitors at the gate. One seems to be taking a nip to boost his courage. Wonder what he plans to do?

Guess it will just be the standard pose.

Bluebeard knows there's some divers out there somewhere.

And a touch of Picasso.

Surf's up on Bonaire today!

Dude!

Look at me! I'm a posting fool! I learned how to add the pictures!

Here are some gems:

OOOO! Here's a great closeup!

nice one Barbara, I've got some visitors

Beam me down Scotty....

Well done Sally. Hi everyone else. Here's a couple that got missed.

Hi, Annie, Joost & Carmen...yes, we didn't keep a close eye on the street cam...Good captures, busy day! Someone's from up North...getting into the 60's and clear here in Northern California....

Hiya, I married a genious !
My putter is back working and the genious is sleeping and...snoring ! Cynde, you can email the files, everything under control, except Jean Paul's snorings. That's why I am back working on the puter.
Thanks to John who just emailed the latin named I was missing. Gang, this is what I call cooperation. THANKS, THANKS, THANKS, it couldn't have been possible without you.

Wow, never seen that till today.

Watch out ! Maybe night divers in a minute

Didn't work, here's the pic

martine, file is on it's way. I have completed all but about 7! Our server was down for over an hour, so guess what, i had LOTS of time on my hands!

Good Evening, I am hoping for night divers too! Have not seen any in awhile. Snow was terrible today so I left early (I have a long drive) and by mid afternoon it was beautiful!! Murphy's Law! But, better be safe than sorry!

martine, i don't have your email address! yikes! here is the attachment...hopefully i will have the rest finished tomorrow.

excel webcam species.xls (30.2 k)

oh, the biggest problem i am having is finding info on reproduction. so if anyone has info in the areas I haven't found, please email me!

Martine and Cynde you have both worked so hard on this. Thanks for your efforts.

Was not here for the sunsets. My best friend Chris phoned me to say that a gunman held up the supermarket where she works. Nobody was seriously hurt thank goodness, but he put the fear of god in them all, just for a measley £300, and he got away. Annie B.

Cynde, Is it correct that if there is a shortage of male fish, a female will change sex. I know this happens with the tropicals, so assume it is the same for marine fish etc. Annie B.

is that why girls dance with each other at school dances?

nice captures today i think...

and the new web page is really something;)

Annette, that is true for wrasses and damsels, but not for most other marine fish.

I found a site a while back that had most fishes, their latin names, and behaviors, but I didn't bookmark it. It was more complete than the standard fish id books. I will try to find it again later today and will post the web address.

OK, I found two sites for starters. I did a Yahoo search for "Fish identification"

http://indian-river.fl.us/fishing/fish/

http://www.enature.com/guides/select_Fishes.asp

I couldn't get to some others because the firewall denies anything it thinks is 'sports'.

The first is a Florida guide, but has most of the same fish as Bonaire. The second is a world-wide guide, so you will see fish that don't appear anywhere near Boanire.

bob. I don't remember being at school. LOL.

Linnea. Thanks. I used to keep tropicals, but then changed to Cichlids, their behaviour was much more interesting. I remember that if there were all females, one would change to a male in order to preserve their species. Annie B.

Thanks Linnea. I shall take a look at them. Annie B.

Has anyone noticed how the spell check doesn't like people's names. Ha ha!

thanks linnea, i will check it out. I found a really good site www.fishbase.org. It was the only place i found any reproduction information. Most of the others have some of the behaviour stuff, but not the repro stuff. Don't the sheephead and parrots change depending on the need for studly fish to be "studs?"

Cynde, thanks. Well, don't worry, I can manage with what's left.
I already browsed the website Linnea mentionned, as mant other, and I can manage with this. I leave all this stuff for tomorrow, just browsing on the archives trying to find some additional pictures. Won't last too long tonight. Nearly 2AM, time to refesh my beauty as Annie uses to say. Nite nite all, see you tomorrow.
Cynde, don't you think our job deserves a reefcam cleaning dive FROM Jake and Linda's beach next time we are both on Bonaire . Could be in June for us... Nice to dream while awake. Good night gang.

I really like the recommendations spell check makes for people’s names; you’ve got to be careful!

Night night all. See you tomorrow with some excellent news. LOL. Annie B.

P.s. Don't let the bed bugs bite. Desperately wanna post a gif here, but know I cannot.

martine, can you download the spreasheet, or at least copy and past it?
