Random photos from quick morning trips out for birdwatching.
A 2016 trip to the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica. Lots of birds, sloths, and spiders. Plus a visit to the (controversial) sloth sanctuary near Cahuita, a close encounter with a sloth in the wild on the grounds of our hotel, and some pictures of what I'm pretty sure was a green & black poison dart frog.
Tarangire National Parl, Ngorongoro Crater, and Serengeti National Park. Spotted two leopard cubs with their mom our final day in the Serengeti, mating lions, fighting hippos, and a couple smallish wildebeest crossings.
Leopard close encounters at Samburu National Reserve, plenty of rhinos and a chimp sanctuary at Ol Pejeta Conservancy, and witnessing a cheetah taking down a Thomson's gazelle in Maasai Mara.
Island hopping in the Galapagos for 4 days on the M/V Santa Cruz II.
Searching for the Big Five in Tanzania. Mission accomplished.
Chasing the great migration in Maasai Mara, plus Amboseli and other national parks.
Gentoo/Chinstrap/Adelie penguins, seals, and more while on a cruise along the Antarctic peninsula.
Northern Australia wildlife and shots from the Sydney zoo.
Huge potato cod, sea snakes, and more while spending 4 days on a liveaboard dive boat.
