  • Dear Bev, I am currently searching for images of the Mexican sheartail on behalf of the ARKive project and came across a wonderful image taken by your husband on your site that I would very much like to include on the ARKive website with your permission. ARKive - www.arkive.org - is a unique conservation initiative. Films, photographs and audio recordings of the world’s animals, plants and fungi are being gathered into one centralised digital library. To date we have created digital multi-media profiles for over 4000 species, digitising and storing more than 30,000 still images and over 5000 videos. These important audio-visual records are being preserved and maintained for the benefit of future generations and are being made available via the ARKive website. I can send you some documentation that will tell you a lot more about the ARKive project. However, in summary: It is ARKive's current aim to compile audio-visual records for the 17,000-plus species currently threatened with extinction, according to the World Conservation Union's (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species. We are looking for media (moving footage, still images, audio) to depict each species' life history as comprehensively as possible. In order for us to achieve this aim we need help from as wide a variety of donors as possible and would like to be able to add you to our list of contributors. The ARKive website acts as a showcase for image providers, displaying copyright and contact details with every image and links to each media donor's own web activities. See examples of species which have been ARKived at www.arkive.org. Please let me know if you would like to contribute to ARKive or if you have any queries on katrina.armour@wildscreen .org.uk. I look forward to seeing your images. Best wishes, Kaz Armour

  • Hi and thank you for visiting my featured album "River Dance: The Slideshow" and your kind congratulations. Your comment on the Cormorant photo is acknowledged. I know of three names for these birds and choose to use the name most commonly used here. As for its gender, I'm impressed at your knowledge and thank you for your input. I'm always ready to learn, and the Webshots community is very knowledgeable. Thanks again, best wishes from Keith.

  • Hi there - I just came across your excellent series of photos taken at the Veracruz Museum. I wanted to study a few of the sculptures up close - but was unable to save them as you have blocked all who are not friends. Would you mind releasing a few photos so that I might have an opportunity to study them? My email is cdunning@gmail.com Thanks, Cliff Dunning

  • Hi! I've been looking at your albums with my jaw hanging open - such beauty!! I'm a novice birder and wondering if you ever find what I find: birds that fit the exact description of a particular species except maybe one thing? I'm starting to think there is alot of bird hanky panky going on between the species!! :) You obviously are in a wonderful area of the world to enjoy and photograph all the "critters" you see! How lucky! Teri (WA State - the dry side, with lots of ducks and finches, but not much else - certainly no gorgeous butterflies!)
