Cape Sebastian, Oregon, 1982

This is an old photo of Jade (Searunner 40 built by my dad — Jeff Coxwell) sailing past Cape Sebastian on her maiden voyage.

Rockport Beach Park, Rockport, Texas

This is a really cool bird that nests here in Rockport. The best part is that when they feed they “skim.” Flying close to the water and dipping their beak in as they go along picking up small fish and crustaceans. Notice that the lower beak is longer than the top. You can kind of see it in the video. I’m not happy with the video quality, but we had lots of trouble with windows (wmv) embedded video so I’m trying flash video instead. It works better but I haven’t figured out the quality setting yet.

Isla Providencia, Colombia

This guy rode over on Cameron’s kayak just before we hauled anchor to depart. He stayed with us as long as we were in the lee of the island. After that… I don’t know as we were to busy holding on to pay attention to him. There was also a good katydid picture on Jill’s blog a couple of days ago.
