I hope I can return someday to Costa Rica. Such a beautiful place with some wonderful natural areas. It is also where I fell in love with smoothies "con leche" and pineapples

Sometimes saving endangered birds means using chainsaws. Greg Thompson, a researcher with @archboldstation uses climbing gear to scale longleaf pine in order to install artificial tree cavities for Red-cockades Woodpeckers. He uses a chainsaw to cut out enough room to fit a wooden bird box inside. Then, he or a teammate paints the outside to look like a natural woodpecker hole. These homes give the birds a safe place to sleep and raise young, helping their populations to grow.

I remember seeing my first Roseatte Spoonbill at Circle B Bar Reserve in Lakeland, Florida about six years ago. I felt I had never seen such an awe inspiring wild bird before. Since then I have seen other beautiful species, but these will always be special for me.

I don't have the equipment or the patience to be a wildlife photographer, but one of the perks of living in Florida is that the birds are so big you can photograph them with a modest telephoto lens, like this 70-200mm. This cormorant photo was taken at Everglades National Park #birdsofinstagram #everglades #florida

This summer the last of the lions at the Rosamund Gifford Zoo in Syracuse, NY died. I took this photo of two of their lions several years ago. I commend the zoo for considering building a larger enclosure before bringing in new lions

Sarah Garvey, research intern last year at Buck Island Ranch. She was studying the ecology of Florida ranchlands. For the portrait shoot, she chose to pose with an instrument used for taking soil cores. These cores can help researchers better understand the carbon cycle and changes in the soil due seasons or land use changes

Dr. Angela Tringali, Florida Scrub-Jay Biologist at @archboldstation The jays she studies are given colored leg bands while still nestlings, but sometimes an adult will need to be caught and have new bands put on. She is carrying the trap she uses for this
