Bill, as you might imagine, I'm involved in a few Yellowstone communities (both online and literal, as someone who works there occasionally and has property in the area). It's pretty funny how much outrage there is over the many, many inaccuracies in that program. The one that took the cake this...

I'm home for a bit, so it's time to catch up on image processing from the rest of my trips so far this year. I recently published a gallery of images from my March Costa Rica tour. You can check out the full gallery here. A short preview is below.

I've published the full collection of photos from my February Tanzania trip. I split them into two galleries: birds (which I shared previously) and wildlife/scenery. Here's a preview of the latter. You can check out the full gallery of 200+ photos here.

I've published images from my February Tanzania tour. As expected, we had plenty of nice bird encounters, including several species I had not seen on previous Africa trips.
Here are a few highlights. You can see the full bird gallery on my website.

Nice action with those cormorants, Bill. The kingfisher and scoter close-ups are winners as well.

I led a couple of local tours last week. The first day was centered around Stanwood and the Skagit Valley. The second day we went up to Boundary Bay and Reifel Bird Sanctuary in BC, and then popped back down to Skagit Valley again. Day Two was marred by rain most of the day, so photo...

It's a trend I've seen elsewhere during my travels. For example, with snow leopards in northern India, more of the local livestock owners are supportive of feline conservation rather than extermination because they realize that tourist dollars bring in more income than farming/ranching alone...

Bill, the cat in the first photo is known as "Sister" or "Hermanita," because she was the sister of a well-documented tailless female puma (known as "Tailless," surprisingly). The female in the second shot in another female that makes her territory near a lake with distinctive white rocks, which...

Here's the second part of my Brazil experience this year, featuring the non-bird life. It was a pretty spectacular trip. Our visit to the Amazon yielded a lot of great mammal sightings, including one of the rarest finds of my career and several primates. In all, we saw eleven different monkey...

Bill, it's almost certainly the same place and the documentary may have featured some of the same cats.
The pumas more or less ignore people (the males are actually much more shy than the females). A couple years ago, the national park restricted off-trail and off-road access to visitors...

Thanks Bill. I can never get enough owls!

Apparently I forgot to share some of my images from my July/August Brazil trip.
This was my first time leading a tour in Brazil after scouting it last year. My group and I started out in the southern Amazon before moving on the Pantanal in western Brazil. Both areas were excellent for bird...

Cool view of it underwater, Bill. Not an easy shot.

I just wrapped up shooting home games at Husky Stadium this season. I was able to make it to four games, missing the other two due to travel commitments.
You can see all of the game day photos from this season in my blog. Here are a few favorites:

If one is interested in both wildlife and landscape photo opportunities, autumn certainly fits the bill, as does winter (provided you can get into the park interior on a snow coach, where landscape photo ops are more numerous). Fall is also the one time I've year I'd say the Tetons is even...

I led my final tour of the year in Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons in September. It was a fun trip, though a mixed bag in terms of wildlife. We didn't see a high volume of wildlife (compared to what one might typically find in spring), but we had a couple rarer sightings, including an otter...

It's interesting to see how brown they are. I see a lot in Yellowstone, and they're a lot grayer, but this and the ones I've seen on Rainier mostly sport warmer fur tones.
