Several new species of bird to me were White-tailed Tropicbird, Brown Booby, Bananaquit, and a Loggerhead Kingbird.

Badlands National Park Wildlife
When you think of the Badlands you usually think of all the cool formations and landscapes. However, there is quite a bit of wildlife to be found. This big bison was roaming near the entrance station and used a tree and the fence as a scratching post. We found a […]
American Alligators at Circle B Bar
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 […]
Slothful Saturday
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 […]

Devil Ray Jump part 2
These are the last two pictures I took last week of the Devil Ray jumping out of the water at Fort Desoto. Not much to add to what I said last week. [facebook]

I have so many of these that I like but I like to try to keep good variety to the photos that I post. Here are a few more from the Black Skimmer colony that unfortunately was affected by one of the storms this year. Hopefully they will be back […]
