Basilisk Lizard: Pierella Ecology Gardens, Sarapiqui, Costa Rica, March 2025 — I first visited Pierella Gardens on my scouting trip in December 2024 with Victor of Tico Rainforest B&B, and was delighted to be able to include it in my March trip, along a whole group of Point’nShoot Nature photographers. It is truly a wonderful place. This is mature Basilisk Lizard, something I have never seen this close. You can really appreciate the colors and the dragon-like form. Sony a6700. Tamron 50-400 at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Photomator. And this is a good demo of the subject identification, eye-tracking auto focus on the a6700 at work even in low light!

Indigo Bunting: Magee Marsh Boardwalk, Oak Harbor, Ohio, USA, May 2025 — The range maps say that we have Indigo Buntings in Maine, but I have never, unless I forget, seen one here. Gotta love that blue! But then if they are as high in the trees as this one was over the boardwalk at Magee Marsh, I might be forgiven for not seeing them. This is a 600mm shot, drastically cropped and upscaled using Photomator’s Super Resolution to give the impression of high detail. Sony a6700. Tamron 50-400. Program mode with my birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Photomator.
