Jose1983 viewsThis is Jose, one of our, shall we say extended crew members. Jose is taking a little R & R from cleaning bugs off the windshield of the Albatross, a job usually reserved for the Radioman and may I say, much easier while aircraft is parked.
The Osa Peninsula of Costa Rico is a perfect place for Jose to relax.

Answer no. 21988 viewsActually it is not a panther but, this cat greeted us when we checked in at Rock Island State Parks, TN.

King Fisher1936 viewsSorry for the poor quality of the photo, it was taken several hundred yards from the royal subject.
Watched a pair of King fishers feeding and mating for quiet some time but, photographing them was very tough to do since they rarely sit still and were at such a distance.
The photo was taken on my recent trip to Middle Tennessee near Rock Island.

Bare-throated Tiger-Heron1908 viewsFound this aviator looking back at me from a Costa Rico mangrove swamp.
Don't blame me if it aint a "Bare-throated Tiger-Heron". I just used an ID book of birds to find out what it is.

Cougar?2345 viewsDo Cougars have rings around their tails and wear a mask?
This very day, Sep. 7 2011 two cougars were killed by the Wildlife folks very near our location.
One News report stated they were backed up by the RCMP for crowd control ??? What the heck were they doing, preventing a stampede back to Victoria?
Actually, old Wally here (a name I gave to this obviously dangerous critter) showed up on our B&B lawn and started to explain the rules of engagement to BJ and Myself.
BJ defended her crew, namely me, admirably.
