Hello!
I decided it was time to try a new look for the blog, so here it is! I'm not 100% sold yet, so it may see some changes in the near future. Constructive feedback is more than welcome!
Cheers!

Cuba #2 - At Last
Hello!
I have been some time from the blog - it has been a busy January! At long last, here are a few more photos from Cuba. No award-winners here, that's for sure - but three "record" shots of cool Cuban endemics!
Cuban Trogon (Priotelus temnurus)
Cuban Tody (Todus multicolor)
Cuban Pygmy Owl (Glaucidium siju)
More to come (hopefully)!

Cuba Installment #1
Hello!
So I've begun editing the Cuba photos - there are more than I thought! I also seem to have attacked them in a strange order. Here are a few seemingly random photos:
Cuban Ground Boa (Tropidophis melanurus)
This heron really threw me - I had never seen a white-morph juvenile Reddish Egret before. Good job on the ID team!
Reddish Egret (Egretta rufescens)
Purple Gallinule (Porphyrio martinica)
Sardines?
Sardines?
That's all for now! Maybe next time I'll manage some sort of comprehensible order and pleasant commentary.
Later!

Back from Cuba!
Hello!
I am back from Cuba, and it was an interesting trip to say the least! Personal highlights include Cuban Ground Boa (2 species), Cuban Trogon, Cuban Pygmy-Owl, Fernandina's Flicker, Cuban Parrot, Green Moray and others. All told we saw about 75 bird species including 8 endemics and 17 new ones for me.
The photography was a little patchy on the trip for various reasons, but I did manage to grab a few shots here and there. I have some sorting and editing to do, but here is a quick first-look:
Cuban Ground Boa (Tropidophis melanurus)
More to come!

Happy New Year!
Hello!
Yet another photo-less post, I know. Things have been busy, what can I say? But it will all change shortly! I have been invited to join a trip to Cuba and help out with some bird ID and other things. We leave in 4 days and stay for 8. I am really hoping to spend a solid amount of time taking pictures!
We will be staying near Santa Cruz del Norte for most of the trip, with a special tour to Zapata Swamp (home of such exciting endemics as Zapata Sparrow, Zapata Wren, Zapata Rail, Cuban Crocodile and others). See the following map for an idea of the geography (A is where we are staying , B is the swamp).

Fingers crossed for exciting things! I will not have internet access during the trip, but will post some photos upon return.
Cheers!

Read Me!
Hello!
So in my winter down-time with little photography action, I decided to write a short article for Nature Images Online Magazine, a blog run by Ontario photographer Ray Barlow. If you have 5 minutes with nothing to do, the article can be viewed here:

Wintertime!
Hello!
Oh the woes of a macro photographer in winter. Where have all the little critters gone? Hibernation, thou hast robbed me of my subjects. How cruel.
Photography always seems to be a bit slow in the winter, which leaves me a little short on blog updates. Perhaps I will have to expand my horizons.
On the positive side, winter birds are in! Did a couple of Christmas Bird Counts over the weekend and had some success. Highlights include 1 Northern Goshawk, 1 Bald Eagle, 2 Rough-legged Hawks, 2 Red-bellied Woodpeckers, 3 Eastern Bluebirds, 70 Wild Turkeys, and 665 Bohemian Waxwings. It's like my own little version of the 12 days of Christmas. I never was very good at counting...
On another positive note, I'm headed to Cuba early in the new year. That should keep my itchy trigger finger happy for a little while. More to come on that later.
Happy Holidays!
