I spent the morning out at the Circle B Bar Reserve in Lakeland today. It is probably the best place near Tampa to see a lot of gators, including some big ones. I also saw a Wild Turkey, Bald Eagle, Sandhill Crane with colt, Limpkin with babies, 3 Barred Owls […]
I figured a Saturday would be a good day to throw up a couple of sloth pictures. These shots were taken about 25 feet from the door of our hotel at Nayara Resort in Costa Rica. I watched this guy climb up and down the tree over 2 days in […]

Sticking with the baby theme, but tonight back to the archive for a couple baby Black Skimmer photos. I missed going to see them this year, but I always enjoy watching them. They are one of my favorite shorebirds. It is especially cool to watch their unique feeding style, skimming […]
I have recently seen some photos of the Black Skimmers so decided to post a few of my old ones. I have not been to see them this year yet. They are fun to watch, especially the interaction between the chicks and between the chicks and the parents. [facebook]
