Volcanic Desert Odadahraun, Iceland Kind of a lunar #scape Friday! Iceland’s most ancient volcanoes, it is the record-holder for world’s biggest lava field, at 6000 km². #photography #landscape #Odadahraun #Iceland

God, I hope this promise pays off. I lost my grandmother to pancreatic cancer, back when it was an absolute death sentence.

Scarlet Macaw (Aro macao) These 'flying rainbows' inhabited 85% of Costa Rica. Today, only two flocks remain, but, thanks to preservation, education, breeding/reintroduction programs, these flocks are growing. In '94 there were ±400 birds, in '23, ±1600. #bird #wildlifephotography #photography

House Sparrow Los Angeles, California I don't generally photograph the wild birds here at my place, maybe as they seem less interesting when you have a yard full of peacocks, lol. But today I gave it a shot. There is work to be done but it's a start! #birds #housesparrow #photography

Mom and Baby Sea Otter Sea Otter Nursery, Morro Bay California It's really hard to photograph sea otter as the babies are almost always laying across mom and you can't see their faces, but the baby (darker) here is off to the side for a moment. #Wildlifephotography #photography #morrobay #seaotter

Inca Terns with their lovely mustaches I have seen them in the wild in Peru, but photographed these at the Santa Barbara Zoo on Monday. The focus is a little screwy as I was shooting thought metal mesh netting. #wildlifephotography #photography #incaterns #peru

Common Hippo (Hippopotamus amphibius) 3rd largest land animal. Despite their resemblance to pigs (and other terrestrial ungulates), the closest living relatives of hippos are whales, dolphins, porpoises, etc., from which they diverged about 55 million years ago. #photography #hippo #zoophotography

Golden or Rainbow Pheasant (Chrysolophus pictus) Flocks tend to forage near human settlements at forest edges, taking primarily wheat, leaves, seeds. They can fly poorly in short bursts, called "flapping flight" but, if possible, prefer running from danger. They roost in trees. #birds #photography

Swallow Tanager Tersina viridis Behavior different from other tanagers: perches upright, on exposed branches or treetops, and dives out for insects like a flycatcher. Usually seen in pairs or small groups. Found at forest edges, clearings, or gardens. #birds #photography #tanager #SouthAmerica

Resplendent Quetzal Failure Monteverde, Cosa Rica I was so excited to see a Queztal during my first trip to Costa Rica. Not so excited to see the results, which still make me laugh, this was the best shot up against a scope (therefore round). #headlessbird #birds #photography #failure #quetzal
