Bird lovers should pack their binoculars and head to the Top End of Australias Northern Territory. While the sheer number and variety of birds that inhabit the Northern Territory make it a unique birdwatching destination, it is its rare species that make it truly special. The NT currently boasts four endemic species of birds including the White-Lined Honeyeater, the White-throated Grass Wren, and the Chestnut-quilled Rock Pigeon

http://www.TravelsWithSheila.com I never imagined the Lemaire Channel passage would be so breathtaking. All the passengers were up before the crack of dawn to witness the passage (...Oh, that's right...there is no crack of dawn. It's light for more than 23 hours a day...) Spectacular, spectacular, spectacular. And then the ever-popular penguins on Petermann Island... Watch and learn...

Pigeons, a duck and a crow fight over what appears to be a hot dog roll in London's beautiful St. James Park.

En un área del bosque dentro del municipio de Madera, México, se encuentra una de las zonas de anidación más grandes de la cotorra serrana que todos los años viene del sur del país por una corta temporada para aparearse. Un excelente lugar para la observación de esta y otras aves como el Quetzal o trogón orejón. In an area of the woods in the Madera municipality, Mexico, we find one of the largest nesting zones for the red beaked parrot that every year comes from down south the country for a short period for mating. Excellent place to observe this and other birds like the Eared Quetzal. www.ecoturmadera.com.mx/la_cotorra_serrana.htm

During a recent trip to Neah Bay, Washington I took my daughter, Jennifer and her husband Dan for a spin out to Tatoosh Island and Cape Flattery (the furthermost N.W. Point in the Continental United States). As we approached Tatoosh we were greeted by dozens of Stellar Sea Lions. After getting up-close and personal with the furry pentipeds we went over to the Cape for a look-see. The water was so clear, you could see the bottom at 30 feet.
