    Puerto Rican Mango_Anthracothorax aurulentus, Puerto Rico's 18th endemic!

    We still have some recuperating from Hurricane María. The Antillean Euphonia was hardly seen at the beginning, but now is being seen more often. The White crowned Pigeon, however, now can be seen in many more places than before. Nature at work! Gloria

    R7 - Shipping Notice vs Backorder - first impressions from the lucky few

    Oh wow, that surely is frustrating! Keep trying at smaller camera shops. You never know what can happen. Maybe HEX will call sooner than expected. I had my order with B & H and they even had charged me. I had no information of when it would arrive. I remembered I had bought my 7D with Berger...

    I was thinking of posting all our endemics to my Gallery. If needed, in the Opus pages, it is not necessary to upload to both the Gallery and Opus Birds?

    Hi, I just uploaded the Puerto Rican Screech owl to the Forum thinking I could go to the Opus Puerto Rican Owl Page and add it. I then uploaded the same one to the Opus Birds. I read how to Edit and include images, but I'm afraid to do something wrong. Forum...

    Puerto Rican Owl - Múcaro Común - Gymnasio nudipes

    The Puerto Rican Owl is one of our endemic species. It bears the "nudipes" name because of its unfeathered legs and feet. It is not easy to see, but pretty common to hear it's call at nighttime near dense vegetation.

    Very nice!! I noticed the difference yesterday when I cropped my Kestrel. I have to try my EF 100-400 II. I do love how light the load is with the RF. Have yet to try it in lower light forest hike.

    At last I had a mini outing today with the Canon R7 and the RF 100-400! I was totally lost and blacked out in the beginning! It's a big change from the 7DII to mirrorless and so many new settings and buttons! The focus on this camera was awesome! I am using Wild Alaska settings for now which...
