This forum is for Registered (but unSubscribed) members to share their images of interesting wildlife we found today or fairly recently. The images don't have to be high-quality, even your cell phone shots are OK. It's just a fun effort where everyone can share the cool stuff we've discovered for feedback, discussion, and/or ID requests.

This forum is for macro enthusiasts to display their finest efforts at photographing arthropods of all kinds (including butterflies, dragonflies, spiders, scorpions, centipedes, etc.)

Display your finest captures of the birds you have been able to witness (from hummingbirds to ostriches) while out and about, both to share as well as for some constructive feedback.

Sometimes even these creatures can be artistically-photographed, so share your best efforts of these animals here for community opinion.

Share compelling habitat & ecosystem shots here, for general interest, verification, as well as for some constructive feedback. (E.g., Mesic, Xeric, and other habitats.) You might also want to discuss what kinds of wildlife this particular ecosystem attracts. Artistic landscape & seascape efforts also go here.
