Brrrr... Its Cold!

Mocking Bird in the rain in Galapagos, June 2005. It was no where near as cold as it is in Wisconsin now.

I am thinking of...

... all the birds of the Galapagos and the disease ecology of their parasites and pathogens...

Galapagos Hawk

Monday Morning Blues

Wishing I were someplace warm, by the ocean, and without the ton of stuff I gotta be doing :)

These are a couple of the Galápagos Sea Lion (Zalophus wollebaeki), from the Rabida Island south of Santiago. Picture taken in June 2005.

Vermilion Flycather

This picture of the Vermilion Flycatcher (Pyrocephalus rubinus) male was taken in the Galapagos Islands, when I was there on a study trip in June 2005. He is a little puffed up from the light drizzle and a bunch of people taking pictures.
