Chilean Flamingo
Picked up by National Geographic News today...
Chicago, Illinois, July 16, 2008—Skinny legs and all, a Chilean flamingo stands guard over two eggs at the Lincoln Park Zoo. This is the first time in the zoo's history that their flamingo flocks have laid eggs. The eggs should hatch in approximately four weeks.
The pale pink, gregarious birds are native to South America, where they live in shallow, salty lakes and feed on invertebrates, seeds, and algae. Human activities such as egg harvesting are the birds' main threats.

Glass frog
One of the many Hylid frogs from South America called "glass frogs" because of their translucent skin.
The Bad Wing
So named because insect collectors have a hard time setting it's wings due to the unique way the moth holds them.
And so it begins...
Welcome to my (hopefully) daily photo blog. I will attempt to post at least one new photo here each day...
...some may be from my archives, and some may have been taken that morning. So here's the first picture, sunset at Corcovado National Park, Costa Rica:
