Untitled

I spent 32 years at The University of Iowa between 1970 and 2002. In 2002 I retired and moved to Worcester, MA, with my wife Linda. I now enjoy nature photography and photograph almost all forms of nature, including birds, animals, insects, and plants. I post many pictures here. My wife is an artist and you can find a link to her home page below.

When I started birding in 1989 I decided to keep my life list by photographing the birds I saw. Below are links to five different albums. The first shows my life list of North American birds. Where possible I show both the male and female bird in the same picture. If the female looks different from the male and I don't have a picture with both birds in it, the male appears in my life list and the female appears in a separate list of female birds. I also have a separate life list of birds in flight. I have separate lists of Australian birds and Galapagos birds. Here are links to my five lists of birds:

The following link is to an album that shows my life list of dragonflies and damselflies. I show both male and female when I have photographed both sexes, and I also show a mating pair if I have photographed one.

The following two links show my life lists of butterflies and moths. Just like birding, keeping track of how many different species I have seen has become a hobby.

I created all of the photo albums using a very old version of jalbum. Each album opens to a page of thumbnails, and if you float your mouse over a thumbnail you will get information about the picture. If you click on a thumbnail you will see an enlarged picture. You can navigate to the next large picture by clicking on the right third of a picture; you can navigate to the previous picture by clicking on the left third of a picture, and you can return to the thumbnails by clicking on the middle third of the picture. The --> at the upper right of an album page starts a slide show of the album pictures.
