Please keep sending your wildlife photos in, as there’s always a need for them! We have two contributors today, and the first is Ivar Husa from Washington State. Ivar’s notes and IDs are indented: When birds and butterflies are hard to find with a camera, pollinators and tiny predators are usually present. All these were […]
Today we have amphibians from reader Chris Taylor from Oz. Chris’s captions and notes are indented. Every year in October, there is a frog census in Canberra and the surrounding areas of New South Wales. I’ve been doing this for six years, monitoring sites at home and also on the Bush Heritage Australia reserve at […]
My friend Anne-Marie Cournoyer, who lives in Montreal with her delightful husband Claude (they hosted me when I visited and took me on a great tour of the city), has been monitoring a nest of mourning doves in her yard this summer.

This set shows some examples of flies from two related families: the snipe flies (Rhagionidae), which are described as predatory on insects although I have never […]
Today the wildlife comes from reader Bill Zorn, who sent photos of Homo sapiens in Tibet, a place I once visited (but only Lhasa and its environs). Bill’s captions are indented. Almost all of my photos are landscapes, but here are a few portraits. I lived in Beijing for several years and did a project […]
