I’ve been working upon on a major update to my bird, wildlife and landscape video page index. The update is finally completed! See all my videos via this page on my blog … from Black Bears to Bobolinks! In the meantime here are my two latest videos, both taken within the past two weeks.
Northern Lapwing in Scotland

Molly and my Scotland Tartan Tour is complete. For over 3 weeks we biked over 830 miles while we experienced the beauty and hospitality of Scotland and her people. We leave for the airport to fly home in about one hour. Looking forward to being out in the woods in Northern Minnesota chasing warbler photographs in a few days! Expect to see results here.

Images … Me! (tour complete) and Our Final Route Map
Molly and I got off early yesterday on our day’s bicycling. We were thrilled to have calm winds and crystal clear skies for our cycling. Better yet, after 120+ miles over the past few days conquering HUGE mountains that border the Scottish Lochs, we now were travelling through the more gentle land near the coast.
While biking through a farming area I suddenly spied the rare Caledonian Crested Quail! What luck for this Scottish John James Audubon (bird ID for today’s post … comment with your identification). The day turned out to be very “birdy”. Also found the “Long Tailed Limey” and the “Great Blue Striped Heron” (I actually know the ID for these two birds!).
It was a great cycling near and along the Atlantic Coast. We are now 19 days and 733 miles into this bicycle tour. The trip diary may be found on the Crazy Guy on a Bike Portal. You should also read Molly’s impressions via her blog, Superior Footprints.
