  1. This is the Caribbean Pen Shrimp (Pontonia mexicana). Normally, you’ll only find these glass-like macro marvels tucked safely inside the mantle cavity of a living pen shell. Seeing one completely out in the open is rare enough, but watching it jump on and then off my divemaster's arm was a great encounter.

  6. And since my last post was so compressed, have a still image of the red-winged blackbird attack from yesterday at North Pond. Wear your hats folks, this heron wishes they did.

  7. The wetlands of West Bengal in eastern India are one of the country’s best habitats for the fishing cat, a species vulnerable to extinction. But a significant population of these fish-eating, mid-sized wildcats lives outside protected areas, putting them at high risk of road accidents and retaliatory killing, reports contributor Nabarun Guha for Mongabay India.

  8. Looks like only one video per toot allowed at present, so more #fox #widlife here!

  9. I haven't posted a lot of new images lately because I am busy giving workshops, book presentations and also working on projects.
    This image was taken during my Herring Spawn workshop 10 days ago. It's a juvenile bald eagle that completely ignored us while we walked by.
    Needs a click to see in full (portrait/vertical format).

  12. What better way to start the day than with the cutest and rarest marmot in the world: the Vancouver Island marmot.
    I took all these images in the mountains on Vancouver Island; they are now part of my book ''Vancouver Island Marmot, The World's Rarest Marmot''
