Before my first trip to Ecuador (with my son!), I had no appreciation of the number of Hummingbird species documented in Ecuador. of ~450 species world wide, ~150 can be seen in Ecuador. Here I post a modest number of representatives from the Cloud Forest west of Quito and the Andes east of...

Anyone using a computer screen profiler such as the one sold about 10 years ago by X-rite called i1 Display Pro. My model is no longer supported at least for MACs.

Staying near Todos Santos, BCS, MX last week. We walked by this nest several times on the way to the beach without noticing it. Owner of the AirBnB pointed it out.

In order of presentation: Tawny Frogmouth, Shining Flycatcher (male), Shining Flycatcher (female), Red-browed Firetail, Flame Robin, Pink Robin, Metallic Starlings, Striated Pardalote (1 of 12 species endemic to Tasmania, we spotted 11).

So, it has been a while since I visited or posted on this website, for various reasons. However, I had the wonderful opportunity to visit Australia for 3+ weeks this fall. Sydney (New South Wales), Queensland, Northern Territory and Tasmania. Almost all the over 200 species seen and...

This landscape in Eastern Washington is unique and worth the journey to fans of interesting novel landscapes. Also, many nice barns etc. Staying in Colfax is a good choice as you will want several mornings and evenings.

Image taken at Kamaole Beach III in South Kihei, Maui. Had a condo nearby for many years and this is my favorite sunset shot from this beach.

Was going through old photos, 10 yrs old to be exact, and found some of my favorites to share. Wish I were back there now! Well in a few months when the rains stop! Collared Aracari, Cinnamon Beard, American Pygmy Kingfisher, Little Blue Heron and the elusive Sunbittern.

I love this time of year because the Dahlias in our yard are blooming. This shot taken with my phone was way too easy!;)

I spent many mornings for a couple months following the development of this one BE chick. One morning I arrived at my mostly hidden location to find the nest and nearby trees empty. Given the preceding days of the young eagle exercising its wings, I guessed that it must have fledged. I walked...

Here are some early shots of the chick not long after hatching. I did have one earlier shot where the chick was about the size of the adult's beak but was of poor quality .

About 10 years ago there was an accessible eagle's nest near my previous residence in Lake Oswego, OR. I stopped by most mornings to catch the show and was able to follow the egg incubation period through fledging. One days I was sitting next to my tripod setup when I saw the eagle flap its...

Have been thinking about a trip to southern and southwest Texas next year and was browsing some shots from the Galveston area. These Egret shots were taken at High Island.

After doing some fishing out of La Ribera in the Sea of Cortez, we stopped on our way back to San Jose for lunch in a historic town, Santiago. It was 102 degrees but I braved getting out of our air-conditioned vehicle to grab this shot.

We have a few Dahlias that are sprouting up now and therefore decided to get ahead of the game and post a few.

First time I spotted a Pyrrhuloxia near our place in San Jose del Cabo. Pleasant surprise. The two Hooded Oriole shots were taken at close range from our second story deck. Sweet bird! This was our first real vacation/trip since the beginning of you know what!

Went in Aug for lightening shows. Not disappointed but this is my favorite converted to monochrome although no lightening in this image.

Factory Butte east of Torrey, UT, is an iconic subject as anyone who has been to that part of Utah will attest. We could probably have a "task" on this Butte. This was my first visit to the area and new nothing about this structure but luckily a local photographer, Guy Tal, introduced us.

Only been there once but it was memorable.

Had the good fortune to participate in a Portland Audubon Society trip to the northern part of Borneo. Here are a few of my favorite birds from the trip. Bee Eaters, Long-billed Spider hunter, Greater Frogmouth, Stork-billed Kingfisher, a pair of Rhinoceros Hornbills (Male on bottom) and...
