More Character Than the GOP
Marty’s photo of the day #4611: This tree has more character than the entire Republican Party. Photographed in Zimbabwe.
Night Heron in Flight
Marty’s photo of the day #4610: I thought about tightly cropping this night heron photo, but I like how the bird is frozen over the mountains. It’s almost as if I digitally combined two photos, which I didn’t do. Photographed in Mexico.
Fred the Eyelash Viper
Marty’s photo of the day #4609: This is Fred the Eyelash Viper. He hung out near the door of the cabana my wife and I were renting the entire time I was working on the Costa Rica section of my second book, Endangered Edens: Exploring the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, Costa Rica, the Everglades, and […]
Macaw Taunts
Marty’s photo of the day #4608: While I was in Costa Rica, the scarlet macaws taunted me, flying by in a flash before I could raise my camera. Then, on the day I was leaving, this one had mercy and landed on a branch just above my head. “Is this close enough?”
Militia in Iquitos
Marty’s photo of the day #4607: If America’s first dictator decides America “Absolutely must have Peru, for security reasons,” the militia in Iquitos is ready to fight!
Off the Coast of Bonaire
Marty’s photo of the day #4606: This is a honeycomb cowfish and stoplight parrotfish (initial phase), photographed off the coast of Bonaire.

It’s Molting Time!
Marty’s photo of the day #4603: It’s molting time! This is an adolescent gentoo penguin during her first molt, and she seems rather happy about getting rid of all the chick fuzz. Photographed on a tiny island off the coast of Antarctica.
Not what the GOP claims it is
Marty’s photo of the day #4602: Whenever Republicans take control, they want to head north and “Drill baby, drill.” Therefore, this is my frequent reminder that the Arctic is not the “bunch of nothing” they claim it is. This is a close-up of tundra, north of the Arctic Circle.
Amazon Tree Boa
Marty’s photo of the day #4601: This is an Amazon tree boa, photographed in the Amazon Rainforest of Peru.
Apparently, it’s edible. . . .
Marty’s photo of the day #4600: This is eyeball fungi, photographed in the rainforest of Borneo. Apparently, it is edible. . . . We didn’t test that theory.
Brown Pelican At Sunset
Marty’s photo of the day #4599: I photographed this brown pelican at sunset, along the Sea of Cortez in Mexico.
Waiting For the Night Heron
Marty’s photo of the day #4598: This is a night heron, photographed last year on the island of Bonaire. Creating this photo required sitting quietly under the trees at a tiny waterhole, waiting for the bird to join me.
Stoplight Parrotfish
Marty’s photo of the day #4597: This is a stoplight parrotfish, photographed off the coast of Bonaire. Aren’t the colors amazing?
Wild Donkeys of Bonaire

Variation Among Species
Marty’s photo of the day #4594: This was a difficult fish to identify because there is much variation among the species. Ultimately, you are looking at a white-spotted filefish that I photographed off the coast of Bonaire.
