I was glad to see a light morph Pacific Reef Heron tonight. The dark morph seems to be more common around here.

All the White (Fairy) Terns I saw today were peeking out from behind branches. I just caught this one as it looked my way.

I have never taken or posted a photo of the stadium. It had just been painted, so I wasn't getting a better opportunity.

When photographing in the middle of the day, in harsh light, I look for colors, textures, and shadows.

I see these White (Fairy) Terns regularly near Paseo, but this was my first time photographing a pair. Fascinating birds.

After nearly two months of dealing with COVID-19 and it’s after-effects, I finally got out to photograph on Sunday!

"Stay at home" orders have prevented me from photographing lately. I was glad to get out for a short bird session today.

I watched this Pacific reef heron (Egretta sacra) hunting at Paseo today. He caught one fish...just before I set up the camera.

Today I went looking for new compositions in a familiar place. The Plaza de España is just a few minutes from home in Hagåtña.

The flame trees are in bloom all over the island. This one, in the hills above Hagåtña, caught my eye during a walk.

We viewed the solar eclipse at the weather station today, but I wasn't prepared to photograph. So I settled for a sunset.
