    ʻā! Two final lifers

    My conference paper was about eBird and how its gamification elements might skew the data. So the colleague who had organized and led the session realized that I was a birder and introduced himself as a colleague also in that regard. So, on my last day on Oahu, he and I rented a car and drove to...

    This is an adult female, presumably of the Eastern Pacific race "S. l. brewsteri." Note the pink bill with yellow base and extensive inky-blue color in the lores. This individual appears to be in heavy molt and spent most of its time preening. This species has increased in recent years in...

    On our Amazon River cruise, our ship sailed from Florida, down through the Caribbean and stopped at St Lucia and St Barts. This shot was taken from the ship, at 7:00 AM, when the light was just right!

    These birds were common around our ship with an estimate of at least thirty individuals as we passed the Danjo Islands where they breed. They are members of the "Forster's" group which ranges from the Red Sea and Indian Ocean to the tropical western and central Pacific Ocean. Howell...

    Brown Booby, Red Sea

    Extremely low tides uncovered a reef out at sea which attracted a vast number of sea birds. This beauty commanded the highest spot for hours

    Watching and photographing these was a way to pass the time while getting evacuated from the devastation of Hurricane Maria. I was an extremely hazy day with a weird light, but I think the AF did ok. This is not a crop, this is how close this bird got (equivalent reach 700 mm). I am likely to...
