Sorry for the delayed response on this one Mitch. This is a very busy time of year for me. When I go out to photograph I am seeking wildlife...not just birds...I wouldn't mind a discussion area where other wildlife or nature might be discussed and shared. Here is a link to a recent backpacking/photography trip I took. I wouldn't mind a discussion area where photos like these or a TR might be discussed or shared. I did not get the opportunity on this trip to do much with birds. I photographed the targets of opportunity that presented themselves.

I love the site here and I agree that it should be mainly birds. I thought that those that use the site or visit might enjoy a side area where other nature might be discussed or shared and perhaps thrown out for identification help. The frog/toad in the above link I have not yet identified. It was very small...roughly dime sized. I briefly tried to ID it today and didn't find any toads that seemed to fit the photo. I plan on a more detailed attempt as I have more time. The pics above were taken early March 2006 at Torreya State Park in the Florida Panhandle.
Thanks, Robert
