Réserve Naturelle des Sept-Iles, Bretagne, France

On vacation in Brittany, France, I discovered a wonderful two hour cruise to a nature preserve, off of Pleumeur-Bodou. The cuise visits a set of islands that host breeding puffins and gannets, that this year is celebrating its centenial as a nature preserve.

The puffins had already left for the season, but hundreds of Northern Gannets were still raising young on one of the islands. Other birds and mammals seen on the trip were European Oystercatchers, Herring Gulls, Gray Seals, European Shags and a single Peregrine Falcon.

RIver Otter

At the birding festival, I got a chance to go down to the Viera Wetlands. While there this River Otter took a dust bath.

Red-cockaded Woodpecker

I attended the 2012 Florida Space Coast Birding and Wildlife Festive in Titusville this weekend. It was an extremely well run event and I had a great time. On Saturday morning, I got up at 4:30 a.m. to see a group of three Red-cockaded Woodpeckers.

Due to habitat loss, the population of this bird is about 1% of its original size. The population of this bird is limited to about 6,000 breeding groups, or about 14,000 birds in the Southeast United States.

San Francisco

I’m on vacation in San Francisco. My hotel is on Nob Hill. In the mid-afternoon I saw some pigeons in flight out my window and wondered if there was a hawk nearby. It turns out there were two Red-tailed Hawks, an adult and an immature bird.

River Otter

River Otters are totally off topic for this blog, but whenever I photograph them, I want to share the images of them. Pictures taken at the Six Mile Cypress Slough Preserve in Fort Myers.
