Introducing: Okinawa wildlife photographer

Second that…incredible.

I Lived in Okinawa for a couple of years when I saw a picture of the bat I had to laugh, we would take walks at night this five pound bat would hang from a tree right outside my front door. How about the Banana spiders they are a sight to see. Love the pictures brought back many memories.

Awesome shots Mike!

Audrey, when National Geographic commissions me someday, I want you along as a writer; you have a way with words! Pretty skilled with a camera yerself, Buddy !

We visited our son & family in Okinawa recently and would like to be able to identify a few of the birds that we saw there. Perhaps you could help me. One was the Blue Bird with the rust colored lower belly. Another was a small light green bird with white around the eyes – small like a finch. Another we saw along the coast on the way to Nago and was a bright blue and resembled a small heron or egret. The others were large black birds like a crow or raven. We stayed at Camp Foster near Naha.

I would like to be able to add a few new birds to my Life List. Thanks!
