Christmas Island, Crab Eating, 2001 –

Christmas Island, Crab Eating, 2001 - Around November every year, about 100 million of these Red Crab migrate to the sea to spawn. This one is caught eating. ... June 28, 2001 - We arrived in Christmas Island in the afternoon. Kiat, a Chinese woman, was waiting with a car for us at the airport, as arranged. We drove into town. On the way, we spotted the most incredible bird, a cockatoo-colored (yellow white) bird whose tail was several times longer than its body, and split into two parts. We watched the frigate birds diving into a water pool. On the road, I stopped to photograph one of the red crabs. He was a brave little fellow; he seemed completely unafraid of me.
