Swallow Study : While walking along the lake shore on July 13, I came across a family of Barn Swallows that had nested under the dock -- two adults and three juveniles. As I approached they took off one by one, but I was amazed that one insouciant youngster let me get very close. It preened and looked around casually, without a care in the world, as I came closer and closer. I was well within arm's reach before it finally decided that was enough, and flew away! <br><br> Each photo is slightly different. The subtle contrasts in position from one to the next fascinated me, and I decided to do this as a photo study of the swallow family.

Brazil 2006 : This was a fabulous trip to Brazil...lots and lots of birds, animals, scenics, etc.

Three different locations: Pantanal, Iguassu Falls and Atlantic Rainforest.  I took 4 lenses, all Nikon,  but the most used was Nikon's 200-400 f4 VR with 1.4 extender with D2x and D200.  Other lenses were: 12-24, 50, 105 VR Macro.

I would definitely recommend Brazil to anyone wanting to see birds.  I would like to thank Paulo Boute of Boute Expeditions for making this trip, the best trip I ever had, so far.
