This one has been serenading me all afternoon with widely strange songs and cackles. It's the Guira Cuckoo (Guira guira), of course!!

I'm old, and people say I am ugly. Can I get a like?

Also, that old, fat, ugly dude behind me needs some love, too.

Eight years ago today I found this little darling on the side of the road screaming for help. Happy Rescue Day, Talini

I've never seen so much waterfowl gathered in one spot. Ducks, geese and even loons. I guess they're preparing to head south when they have no more access to water and food. I on the other hand, found lots of food and warmth at a pub farther north shortly after snapping these :-)

One of my favourite birds here on the island of Florianopolis. In Portuguese it's called an "anu-preto"

We had visitors! A family of capybaras, the largest rodent in the world. I've never seen them so close to our home. Native to South America, they're semi-aquatic, spending most of there time grazing, swimming, or just lazing about. There were about 8 in the herd, 6 pups and two adults.

I'm truly embarrassed for Canada that the PM jumped so quickly and raced to Orange Caligula's Florida cemetery to kiss the felon and sexual predator's ring.

A few more clicks from my upcoming book "Confressions of an Environmental Video Mercenary: The Amazon Years" thanks to @sunnyresist.bsky.social for the encouragement.

For those wanting to know more about my work, my old website is back online. I plan on upgrading it shortly

I love our marmosets, but they can be cheeky little devils.

These are photos from Churchill, Manitoba, Canada, in 2018. It was an incredible sensation to spend so much time and get so close to these fantastic creatures.

Downtown in Florianopolis, with a mural based on a photo I took years ago of the legendary Amazonian Warrior, Cacique Raoni Metuktire.

The smooth-billed ani (Crotophaga ani), or ANU-PRETU in Portuguese, is a bird in the cuckoo family. These photos were taken on the Island of Santa Catarina, off the south coast of Brazil. It's a very social bird, travelling in groups consisting of several breeding pairs.

I've been slowly putting together a book on the Brazilian Amazon, its beauty, biodiversity, lawlessness, and destruction, from the perspective of a Canadian filmmaker who has worked there for over 25 years. With so much material and many stories and pictures, it's not easy, but it's happening.

They are really loud. We have a pair that live parttime in our garage. I get a shot off once and a while.
