This was our family vacation. We planned on doing a lot of underwater photography and exploring new reefs and wrecks. From the moment we arrived we began making arrangments to evacuate the island before Hurricane Dean hit. Our hotel said we could not stay there and had to go to a shelter, we did not want to do that so we went to the airport to try to get a flight out. The airport was a mob scene on Saturday, the police locked the doors to the terminal and there were thousands of people trying to get in. We found an open door and got inside. We waited five hours to get to an agent who only told us there were no seats on any flights off the island, I showed her my airline ID and she immediatly found us three seats on the 5:30PM flight to Miami. This was probably the most frustrating and stressful vacation I have ever taken, we did manage a little time in the water and I was happy with the images I got.

Utah, October 2007 : On October 8, 2007 I visited Antelope Island which is just west of Salt Lake City, Utah. My guide for the afternoon was Bill Fenimore. Bill is a knowledgable birder and owner of the Wild Bird Center in Salt Lake City. He can be contacted at 801-699-9330 or e-mail at birderb@aol.com. With Bill's help I was able to photograph, bobcat, bison, pronghorn antelope, black-tailed jackrabbit, cottontail rabbit, great-horned owl, black-billed magpie, and swainson's thrush. We also saw mule deer, coyote, northern harrier, American kestrel and many many more. A very productive three hours! Please contact Bill if you are in the Salt Lake area.

Robin Roost, Pittsburgh, January 2008 : I visited the Robin roost in Carnegie on the evening of January 8, 2008. There were more Starlings than Robins, but it was still spectacular.

No one really knows a bird until he has seen it in flight.
