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.

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.

I liked the contrast in this one for some reason. I've got another in this series I'm saving for the appropriate contest later too.

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:

(no .jpg reference, but tested OK; let me know if it is okay; Mahalo!. Flickr even knows my camera model

Someone asked for a kangaroo?
Ha ha, Stupid American Tourist!
This cheeky little guy stole the food I was giving him at a wildlife park near Sydney.
