Birding on the Beautiful Island of St. John
Last month, I had the opportunity to bird and photograph on St. John in the US Virgin Islands. When I first found out that I would be travelling there, I was shocked by how little information was available about where on the island was best for birding and even about the birds of the islands […]

Snail Kites in Florida
Snail Kites are a fascinating raptor and a lesson in the adaptation and specialization that occurs in species. They are found in tropical marshlands and lake shores, and theyfeed almost exclusively on Apple Snails. They have been seen feeding on crayfish in areas where the population of Apple Snails has depleted, but their talons are […]

PhotoShare: Guess the location??
Time for a quick quizz in the form of a PhotoShare, folks… Where do you think this was taken? A cheetah surveying its quarry who are very aware of him. At first glance one might almost think this was taken on the great plains of Eastern Africa (think Tanzania or Kenya)… Yet this photo was […]

Newfoundland Adventure by Fabiola Forns
This land of fog and icebergs is jut a few hours North of us by plane. We visited last year and decided to make it a regular destination. Wherever you look, there are lakes and pines along the road, and the pristine environment captivates the visitor as much as the friendliness and hospitality of the […]

Guyana, is that in Africa?
So little is known about Guyana that when I mention we are doing conservation work there we are generally met with, “wow, I have always wanted to go to Africa” or “Don’t drink the coolaid”. Within this small country (80,000 square miles or the size of all of New England) lies one of the largest, […]

Birding in British Columbia – Parasitic Jaeger (Stercorarius parasiticus)
Part 7/10 of my very action packed 6 weeks of traveling around the country in search of birds. In mid-May I set off for my annual road trip. This year I wanted to focus on the interior of British Columbia and some of the fantastic species that breed here. I spent 20 days camping out […]
