Another lovely Lindblad/National Geographic trip to exotic places. This video is heavy with underwater
snorkeling footage with my go pro and shows just how much one can see without scuba gear if the location is right with healthy corals and when it has not been" fished out".

This is a 32 minute video of the wildlife of S. Africa and Madagascar as seen on our recent trip with Lindblad Expeditions.
Stay tuned for the follow up trip to the Seychelles which should be posted within a week or so. Be sure you click on the HD setting to play the video.
We recently spent a day in a California State Parks cabin at the Steep Ravine site north of San Francisco. Along with great ocean views
was a wonderful opportunity to observe and photograph humming birds. A few days later we spent a day in Yosemite so I have included some scenery and wildlife from there as well. The first time we have seen a bobcat there and it was even chased by a coyote. Happy Holidays! I have taken excerpts from twenty some videos of the South America trip with Lindblad/National Geographic which highlight the nature and wildlife aspects and combined them into this 36 min. video. The cities, people, Estancias, markets, etc. are still available on the other short videos. Here you will see birds, Right Whales, Tamandua, Capybara, Iguazu and Kaieteur Falls, Torres de Paine, Cape Horn, leaf cutting ants and other wonders. This is a Lindblad-National Geographic trip in the Canadian Arctic reaching as far North as 79.01 degrees North Latitude.
It is the first video using the new Lumix DMC-FZ1000 camera.
This video is something new I am trying out. I have looked through some of my old footage and selected out some fun or unusual
scenes and put them together as a collage from all over the world. Things jump around with no rhyme or reason but it is all wildlife. Lots of big cats, grizzly and polar bears, whales and dolphins, Africa, the Poles, and places in between. If people like this I will go through more trips and do it again. If there are any questions as to critters or locations just send me an e-mail and I will try to answer.
Humpback whales, Commersons dolphins, sea birds and sea lions
This train line was completed in 1885 after 5 years of construction. It traverses the Atlantic rainforest of coastal Brazil as it descends
3,000 feet to sea level. With the development of highways and trucking it is no longer required to take grains to the port. Originally the route extended for 380 miles but now of the original 5 stations there are only 3 active. The ones from Curitiba to the coast through the rain forest with the spectacular views as it passes through 15 tunnels and over 30 tressels. It remains open as a major tourist attraction. This family estancia is outside of Montevideo, Uruguay. Best BBQ ever. Working estate with cattle, sheep, fields
and some visitor revenue. A large Magellanic Penguin colony on a small island near Punta Arenas Chile. The arrival of large numbers of gulls and skua
has biologists worried that the eggs and chicks may be in great risk. This worlds largest rodent inhabits marsh areas in South America. They can top out at over 150 pounds.
Fernando de Noronha lies 200 miles off the coast of Brazil and is a National Park. It is a small island paradise with lovely beaches and
great diving and snorkeling. This footage is from my GoPro while snorkeling. A beautiful secluded fjord with a tidewater glacier and a rare landing at Cape Horn.
A must visit if you are ever in the area. Fantastic scenery and hikes. We saw over 30 Andean Condors and many Guanacos during our one day there. Pumas are present but elusive.
