--=====================_29647718==.ALT Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed 1 April 2011 The storm is still raging, so I thought that, if you have a bit of time, you may wish to peruse my photos and videos from our recent trip to Panama. As Bev and Richard mentioned it is easy to forget that a Point-and-Shoot Camera has a video option, and this time, in Panama, I tried to remember using it more often. The videos were not always successful, but sometimes they were, and they do offer a different persepective on a trip. Regarding the photos and videos: while there are some bird shots, of course, I made an effort to take landscape photos, group photos, plant photos, and other wildlife (especially butterfly) photos. The photos are available for viewing here: http://tinyurl.com/4jtzrfc My thanks go to Jim Edsall for helping ID many of the butterflies I photographed, as well as correcting some mistakes I made. I also uploaded a few short videos (and one L-O-N-G video) to Youtube.

At the start of the video is a male Tawny-capped Euphonia, and the tiny yellow bird zipping several times later around is the female. At the 33 second mark there is a Palm Tanager perched on the top of the tall wooden pole at the left side of the feeder. There are many Blue-gray Tanagers throughout.)
