I took this video of a hummingbird at the Tucson Botanical Garden, Tucson, Arizona on January 28, 2010.

Elk Hunt Video
November 5th, 2009Elk Hunting
November 5th, 2009Mike and I went elk hunting this week in Routt County, Colorado. After several days of watching the elk were we were able to find a good place to take one. After making a stalk from over 600 yards away, Mike made a great 300+ yard, uphill shot in low light to get this great looking 4×5 bull elk. It was a great shot and the bull went down where he was shot. Have a look at the photos.

Nurse shark
October 27th, 2009This will probably be the last video I post of diving in Key Largo. Of all the videos I took it is probably my favorite. This nurse shark, Ginglymostoma cirratum, was very gentle and calm even as I followed it around the reef. I hope you enjoy the video.
Lobster
October 25th, 2009Although this isn’t my best video, I think it shows the spiny lobster, Panulirus argus, pretty well. To take this video I had to hold the camera upside down and point the camera without being able to see the viewfinder while I was vertical with my feet up and my head down.
Grouper
October 23rd, 2009I took video of this Black Grouper, Mycteroperca bonaci , in Key Largo, Florida on 3 October 2009. Since this is a protected area where no spearfishing is allowed the grouper let me get very close. In areas where spearfishing is allowed the groupers flee whenever they see a diver.
Permit
October 21st, 2009I was surprized to see this Permit, Trachinotus falcatus, swimming towards me. Fortunately I was able to get a few seconds of video of it. The permit is a highly regarded gamefish and underwater they appear to be fast swimmers.
Yellowtail Snapper part 2
October 19th, 2009A second video of yellowtail snapper, Ocyurus chrysurus. In this video, I was able to swim through a school of snapper and they didn’t seem to mind. It was very relaxing to swim with the school.
Hogfish
October 16th, 2009Another video I took in Key Largo. The hogfish, Lachnolaimus maximus, is prized for its excellent meat – firm, flaky, and delicious. It is able to change its color from almost all white to a pinkish-red depending on the location. It is a member of the wrasse family and is difficult to catch on a hook and line. I have taken many while spearfishing and this large one was very approachable as it was in a marine reserve. Hope you enjoy it.
