Re: Photo of the Day by WWF
Do the wildlife authorities mark them with that large a splodge of blue paint, or does the bear have diarrhea from gorging on blueberries? Rick, the blue on his butt is from the crushed berries he sat on while gorging himself on the berries. We saw scat in the area and it was pretty loose as you might expect from a diet of berries.

Re: Photo of the Day by WWF
Thanks to all that looked and commented. This image was in one of the early PDML books. FYI - it was one of the first images I took with the *ist D. Taken with a 600mm f4.0 FA - only a minor crop - I was in a vehicle parked as close to the bear as allowed by the park.

What was supposed to be a relatively short trip for a tango event and then visiting became a lot more complicated as things came up and we had to come up with new living arrangements for my mom. I'm starting in on my huge backlog of photos. Today, I tackled my wildlife photos. Here is my fauna album: https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157669137217797 Comments and suggestion are always appreciated. Here are a bunch more photos of critters that I liked but not quite as much as the ones above: https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157693255549880 Some of them are technically challenged, but still fun, like the ones of what I think are kingbirds dive bombing a bald eagle. I ran into some issues at SNWR with the flange mount of my bigma coming a bit loose. Here are some flower pictures: https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157693251449550 I learned a few things that might come in handy on future trips: A lot of birds (mostly cormorants) nest under the Yaquina Bay Bridge in Newport. I had hoped to go back when the light wasn't quite so harsh, but that was one of many things I wasn't able to get to on this trip. A Dodge van is very suboptinal for the car tour of the Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge. It turns out that you aren't allowed out of your car except in a few spots there, even in the summer when there aren't many skittish birds around. I'd like to go back in a convertible so that I'm not trying to take photos while hanging out of the driver's window. -- America wasn't founded so that we could all be better.
