Caribbean flamingo at Jan Kok, Curaçao AIMG 9273

The Barred Owl is the only common owl in the United States with brown eyes. An adult is between 16 and 25 inches long and weighs between 1 to 2.3 pounds. This owl was photographed in a tent during a display of owls that due to injury or captive breeding, could not live in the wild. The photograph was shot at a relatively high ISO while the owl was being carried down an aisle. Considering the distance, the lighting and the motion, I was ecstatic that the photo came out as well as it did. AIMG 0349

Great blue heron at Cano Negro, Costa Rica ODT: Begins with H AxMG_2281

Female Anhinga flying over Cano Negro, Costa Rica. The word "anhinga" derives from the Brazilian Tupi language and means devil bird or snake bird. They are diving birds and when swimming, only their curved neck is above water - hence the nickname, "snake bird." Their feathers are not waterproof and they often perch in the sun to dry them.
