Hal Tyler > It was springtime and I was watching the activity at the Heron Rookery in the James River Park in downtown Richmond, VA as this Great Blue Heron flew by.  He was busy providing sticks to his mate for nest building.  The female will accept or choose not to accept the stick that the male brings.  I watched as several sticks were  purposely dropped by the female.

Hal Tyler > I was in the Savegre Mountain Biological Reserve of the San Gerardo de Dota in Costa Rica looking for the nesting area of the Resplendent Questzal.  Fortunately a bird watcher, that I passed on the trail, had spotted one and shared the location with me.  I set up my tripod and camera at the spot of the sighting and waited.  After about an hour, this male Questzal appeared.

Hal Tyler > We were visiting my wife's family who live on a farm near Clifton, Tenn. and on this particular morning,  I was scouting for bird images.  On ahead of me, this Barred Owl was standing on the ground next to the road.  I went over to see if it had been injured by a passing car but when I was within two or three feet, he flew up into the nearby tree.  It turned out to be a perfect spot and the light couldn't have been better if it had been planned.

Note the chick on the right side of the nest.

Hal Tyler > In the Okavango Delta of Botswana, I was in a boat looking for birds and luckily spotted this Lilac-breasted Roller. This bird scans for large insects from low perches and explodes in a riot of color when giving chase.  Their call is a loud harsh squawk, 'zaaak'.  Rollers get their name from their impressive courtship flight, a fast, shallow dive from considerable elevation with a rolling or fast rocking motion, accompanied by loud raucous calls.

Hal Tyler > Snow Geese Migration At The Assatigue Island National Seashore


Last fall, we visited the Assateague Island National Seashore to see the annual bird migration. We arrive just in time to watch a large number of snow geese arrive and for about an hour watched as they continued to arrive. Then, as if on schedule, the geese on the impoundment left, filling and darkening the sky.

Hal Tyler > SNAKE-BIRD.  This Bird was photographed in a river near Cochin, India.

SNAKE-BIRD, the name commonly given to this bird was derived from its long slender head and neck, which, its body being submerged as it swims, appears like a snake rising erect out of the water. Snake-birds bear a general resemblance both outwardly and in habits to Cormorants but are much more slender in form and have both neck and tail more elongated. The bill also, instead of being tipped with a maxillary hook, has its edges beset with serratures directed backwards, and is sharply pointed as well as in the attenuated neck, likening the Snake-birds to the Herons; but the latter do not generally transfix their prey as do the former.
