Bouncing back to Brazil for some shots of a few Whistling Herons. Quite possibly one of the prettiest large herons I have seen…
I don’t have a ton of photos of limpkins, but maybe that is why I like them…
Sorry for the hiatus… and as is usually the case after I return from such a hiatus, I cannot promise that I’ll get back on a regular schedule, but I’ll try… Anyway – Jake and Ashley are currently in Mexico, so I thought it would…
From the PNW, we’ll jump to Florida for one of my favorite nudis from there… Harlequin Blue Sea Goddess (Chromodoris clenchi)…
White-lined Dirona (Dirona albolineata) are among my favorite PNW nudis…
A very pretty bird, these Southern Lapwings could be found in various areas we visited. Usually on the ground, we saw at least one pair that seemed to be guarding a nest as they would be very aggressive to anyone who got too close to…
During one of our hikes in Parque Nacional da Serra dos Órgãos we ended up basically hiking in the clouds…
Just ’cause I feel like sharing an assortment of seahorses…
Like I said… there will be more tanagers… This pair of Brazilian Tanagers is certainly a very beautiful set of birds. I kind of like the photos on the barbed wire too… The bright red male is one of the first birds I saw when…
I got to photograph a number of different birds in the parrot family while in Brazil, but I think this Blue-winged Macaw might have been the most cooperative and photogenic. I tried to get some shots of it in flight to really show off its…
A trio of warning signs… One from Congaree National Park in South Carolina, one from Kona in Hawaii, and one from Brazil (I forget the exact location, but they’re fairly common there).
During some hikes around Visconde de Mauá, we saw these butterflies. Every angle I looked at it revealed something new. Whether it is that purple patch that comes and goes with the angle of the light, or those beautiful 88’s on the underside of the…
Ok – switching away from Brazil photos for a bit here today to share some photos from earlier this spring that I finally got around to processing. Some of these turned out better than others – and unfortunately the one I like the most I…
Honestly, I had hoped to find more weird bugs when I was in Brazil… but here are a couple I managed to find.
Rounding out this first set of tanagers (I am pretty sure there will be plenty more) is a pair of Burnished-buff Tanagers. They didn’t visit the fruit very many times, but I was lucky enough to get photos of both the male and female.
