Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.
Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."
Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

Addendum: 01/10/2026

Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

If you've got the brown old warrior, you better hang onto him. They're exceedingly rare with less than 50 made I think and none were in brick and mortar stores- the last one I saw up for sale went for a grand.
Windstones are one of my other addictions. Darn Melody keeps coming out with more and more beautiful colors and I can't help myself. The newest production color is Amethyst. -swoon- Can't wait for the OW (my fave sculpt) in that color!

Nice pics Brandi, it's been a long time since I've seen a wild Bald Eagle but I did get to see a Florida Panther in Orlando on the side of a road I was walking up. Where did you find Boo Boo?

Yes they are but to noisy for me and thanks for the compliment.
Thanks Ryan
I seen it back when Wayne Hill hosted his Expo in Orlando back in the day walking up that long road to Epcot Center or Universal Studios whatever but on my way in I saw it and walking back I was looking to see if it was still laying in the grass and didn't see it. I noticed a car approaching up the road and from the opposite side of the road it ran across the street with a rabbit in it's mouth. The cat was looking at the car but didn't notice me. It then started walking towards the woods and I was so amazed I followed it until it turned, looked at me and ran off.
I wish I had a camera with me.
Go get some nap time.

You're not allowed Deb, those Conures are to cute.
GASP!!
BITE your tongue. Shrek (the Caique) would be mortified to be mistaken for a lowly Conure.
Miss Piggy is the Conure.

I don't have access to anything except what I have on photobucket right now...that could be a good thing, since I'd have trouble deciding what to post. Here are a few that I like for various reasons, despite the fact that I can already see things I should have done differently. (I almost stepped on the baby bunny as I turned away from a failed attempt at a dragonfly shot - still had the macro lens on, and didn't think I'd have time to mess with settings. A few others could have benefited from some setting adjustment as well. I'm still learning that stuff, but I'll get the hang of it eventually)
These two aren't very good pictures - I was playing with depth of field, and kind of liked the effect (especially the bullsnake)

Nope, this is a parrotlet. All of 4" tall and ten times the size of my biggest bird if you ask her.

So much for identifying birds, I haven't had many except for:
Canaries, Parakeets, Cockatiels, Nanday Conure, Muluccan Cockatoo, Blue & Gold Macaw and my favorite was a female Grand Electus.
Some really amazing photos everyone!

I can't help it, I have to post these pictures, because I'm so happy with them
Here's some that I just took of my male Crested Gecko, Napoleon, after fiddling with some settings on my camera that I didn't even know existed.. lol
And here's a really old picture - just for fun!!
Some unlikely friends:
Kisses, the rat and Danika the cat
Why can't we all get along like that?

Jade... turn down your ISO.... see how it looks real grainy. Thats called noise and is a byproduct of a very high ISO. Yours is set at ISO 3200. I wouldnt even try that high with my Nikon D90.
