Explanation

The 60 or so bird photos from our trip to Costa Rica that are posted on this Web site are grouped in two batches. The first batch ("Originals") consists entirely of 31 still image taken with a Canon ZR65MC digital video camera. Please be patient while it loads, or else (for the first batch only, so far) use the "a la carte" scrolling menu above to pick and choose particular photos without waiting. The second batch consists of 18 photos, almost all of which are freeze frame images extracted from digital video clips; those are marked with "(VIDEO)." The final link below consists of the sixteen best bird photos, in terms of image quality and/or attractiveness of the subject.
