    One-eyed Bobcat

    We live out in the country in south-central Texas and we've been seeing this one-eyed bobcat for about 6 years. It looks a little skinny, but is obviously getting enough food to survive. We see it about once a week - usually when it walks right across our back patio. We never leave the patio...

    Flycatcher - Central Texas, USA

    Red-shouldered Hawk with snack

    Galapagos Penguin on Isla Santiago

    One afternoon we had a great trip around the small islands, in the zodiac boats. It was great to be able to see the wildlife close up. The wildlife on the islands are not afraid of humans, so it's easy to get close for viewing and photography!
