Back in Gear!!!
For those following the saga of my crashed external hard drive with all of the Namibian photographs, life has returned. I spent most of the day yesterday with another wonderful 21 year old Indian man named Vinit Kumar who stayed on the line with me through thick and thin. He was able to help…

Kingbird Takes a Ride
The redtailed hawk was screeching for what seemed like hours yesterday in Valley Forge. He was not happy with me or anybody. And the rest of the animal kingdom had had enough.

My New Friend – The Indigo Bunting
I heard this little guy’s “chip” or “spit” sound high in a tree in Valley Forge. The sound got louder as I got closer. I started chipping back and he stopped chipping and was very quiet. I waited but I could no longer spot him, so I started to walk away when he flew…
