Here are two shots of a very strange-looking bird that lives in a manmade lagoon in my neighborhood. Is it a cross between an albino goose and ?? - what? a chicken? a turkey? Saw it swimming one day, and it certainly didn't swim like either a duck or a goose but more like a chicken walks -- head bobbing forward and back as it jerked along in the water. The neighbors say that it has been around for several years now.

Reason: Uploaded wrong photo the first time. Changed URL to show image instead of link.
While comprising only 0.03% of the Earth's surface, Costa Rica's geographic position, two coasts and mountainous system, providing numerous and varied micro-climates, contain nearly 4% of the total plant and animal species worldwide. Costa Rica was once 99 percent forested, but forest cover has steadily diminished from 85 percent in 1940 to around 35 percent today.

Very nice picture. Love the colors and the clarity. Well done!
While on the subject above, here is one of my first DSLR shots, from my new camera, first location and with no clue, tripod or preparation (disclaimed enough?). From my new Flickr account, so the link may not yet work:
