Beautiful Barred Owl above...neat trick with the i-phone too. I'll have to remember that.
Went to the Kasilof River,the ponds were full of birds. Then went to the Cannery Road side of the Kenai Flats, it was birdy there too.

M and I just returned from a week in Panama--we had never been and wanted to see the canal.
We spent a night a the Canopy Lodge, which is built into an old US military radar station on the top of hill near Gamboa, mid-country along the canal. The upper deck is right at the top of the canopy. Unobstructed views, good coffee, quick eye-sighted guides, and great Ziess spotting scopes.
Pretty birds.
In our one day at the Canopy Lodge, we apparrently saw 36 different birds, one sloth, and a green snake high in a tree. The howling Howler monekyes are hard to see but easy to hear, all night long.
We met a couple from Bishop who know most of the folks we know in Bishop.
Panama City is a complete surprise.
The old city, Casco Viejo, is very nice, charming, and has great resturants.
Cool trip

First time I have had a good internet connection for a while.
So, just for fun, here are a bunch of Hummers I took a week or so ago at the UC Santa Cruz Arboretum. Cool Place. There were hundreds of them buzzing around. Allen's ,Anna's and Rufous.

Hi Bob,
We thought about going to David, but it meant another plane ride. We did drive west to Le Valle de Anton and spent three days there, poking around, gawking a the high-end weekend homes, hiking to the peak tops and finding nice resturants.
At the Canopy Tower, several ornothologist from Cornell were there on business. At dinner they described a "Big Data" project where birders all over the world enter sighting into an online data base. Besides the tracking, Cornell has developed a phone app to identify birds based on the probability given one's location.
