  1. After visiting the famous Byodo-in Temple (it appears on the back of every Japanese 10 yen coin), we hiked across the Uji River bridge to see the Kosho-ji Temple, but, instead, followed Sawarabi-no-michi street to an inviting foot path to the top of Daikichi Mountain. After many switchbacks, we arrived at washroom fac...

  2. On Lake of the Woods, a double-crested cormorant (Phalacrocorax auritus) defends her nest against an aggressive herring gull. Cormorants are common summer residents in Minnesota. They are fish-eaters and have long been considered a competitor by human fishermen. Scientific research shows, however, that they prey mostly...

  5. Santa Barbara, California mostly just east of the Stearns Wharf, we find odd, yet adorably cute birds, especially the Black Skimmer and Elegant Tern. Usually standing in a group facing the same direction. Harbor photo of 116 or so pelicans standing on pipeline with a dozen double-crested cormorants, and one seal. Use...

  6. Last year at this time I took a pano of this same waterfall as water was being released due to winter rains: gigapan.org/gigapans/18848/. This year, once again, heavy rain has forced another release, although this year they lowered the inflated dam quite a bit to nearly empty the lake a couple of weeks ago. At t...

  7. Cormorant and Egret Rookery on Toledo Bend Lake. These social birds mix together here every Spring to have and raise their young. Occasionally one can spot a Great Blue Heron among them.

  8. Upstream dam releases on the Salt River have required that Town Lake release some of its water, much to the delight of the local bird population. The Salt River downstream of the dam spends most of the year completely dry.
