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, long-eared 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.

Arizona, February 2009 : These photographs were taken at the Riparian Preserve at Water Ranch in Gilbert, Arizona on February 3, 2009. I watched as Neotropic Cormorants herded fish from one end of a pond to the other. Over 40 Great Egrets, Snowy Egrets and Great Blue Herons watched from the trees and shore for an opportunity to steal fish from the Cormorants. I was able to capture some of the action as well as some great flight shots. Other bird images from the day are toward the back of this gallery. Enjoy!
