I'm always a bit hesitant to ID skippers, but checking my local guide for the KC area my guess is female Sachem. Yes?

Today was to have been another day of sightseeing in Yellowstone National Park, but without the local guide of yesterday. Mutiny was in the air at breakfast. More than half the people on our tour coach, under the leadership of a personable man with a ready smile and witty words, wanted no more of Yellowstone. Our tour guide was wedged between a rock and a hard place. I heard her discussing tactics with the coach driver. They made a plan and delivered it to the mutineers, the rest of us would have to suck it up.
The mutineers wanted to go shopping, they had no interest in seeing any more of Yellowstone, nor any other national park if it came to that. Our next scheduled overnight stop was in Cody, Wyoming. It would be a four hour drive out of Yellowstone, we would stop for nothing, and make a beeline for Cody where we would arrive before midday.
I took photos through the coach window as we sped past some spectacular scenery, lakes, steaming hot pools, fields of bison; we stopped for nothing and the hostility within the coach was palpable. The minority were being robbed of the sightseeing experience we had paid for..

Yucatan, MX May 2021
I recently returned from a brief trip to Mexico. I took a one day birding tour with a local guide and managed to get 46 new species on my life list, which now totals 1,202. I carried my camera but photography was difficult and most shots were from a great distance and kept for documentation. I will post a few each day. Just great to be traveling again!!

Medium-sized sandgrouse, smaller than Spotted Sandgrouse. Rather compact build, lacking any long projecting tail feathers. Males have a black band in front of eyes and on the chin on a yellow-orange face. Females are heavily patterned. In flight shows a strong contrasting two-toned underwing pattern. Flight call a rather dry, nasal mumble, “hu-het hu-het.” Breeds on stony plains and hills in the harsh desert. Congregates at drinking spots in the morning. (eBird)
Our guide had to hire local guides to help us find these small birds in a very big desert. As you can see, we found them. The female is on the right, with plumage that blends right into the landscape.
Erg Chebbi, Morocco. March 2019.
We were lucky to see and photograph this beautiful pair of tawny frogmouth. Thankyou very much to our local guide.

Potoos are nocturnal birds, feeding on night-flying insects They catch them in sallies from high branches, like the nightjars to which they are related. In places the night-time forest echoes to the bloodcurdling sounds of their growls and snarls.
However, roosting silently during the day, they usually blend in perfectly with the branch they perch on, in this case that of a piuvá tree. Once they close their prominent eyes they are extremely difficult to spot and I would never have found this one if it had not been pointed out to me by a local guide. Breeds from Guatemala to Brazil. This is the largest species in the potoo family.

Led by the Australian geologist we climbed the volcano. With his jeep we drove as far as possible on the slope of the mountain where we then walked through the jungle. There was no hiking trail, but the local guide knew exactly where to go.
In these latitudes the tree line is far higher than in our temperate zones, finally we started the last part of the way, which has been
only loose lava rubble which slipped under our feet. We finally reached the edge of the crater in altitude of 2.892 meters (9,485 ft). The geologist wanted some rock samples.
... to be continued...;)

I took this photo in December 1983 with my analog Nikon FE camera and 35mm slide film, and later scanned with a Nikon Coolscan film scanner.

Wild female Puma (Puma concolor) on her kill, a Guanaco taken down the previous evening. This is the look a huntress gives to any cat that comes near her kill. Here a young male Puma made the mistake of looking interested in the Guanaco meal, while the female (named Hermanita or "Little Sister" by local guides) was feeding on it. One look was all it took, and the young male trotted away with his tail between his legs, literally.

The 1200-year old walled medina in Fès has 9454 cobbled alleyways, 300 mosques, and ~540 Acres (220 hectares) large. It is regarded as one of the most extensive and well-preserved historic towns in the Arab-Muslim world.
With sprawling tentacles weaved through the city; kilometer after kilometer of dark, narrow, winding passages; streets abruptly come to an end with no warning; backtracking takes you to previously unexplored territory; endless climbing and descending, as well as navigating canals and tunnels; it's an understatement to say it looks like a maze!
Don't get lost, GPS doesn't work there!!!
Long story short, through no faults of ours, my friend and I got separated from the group. Our guide's words "It would take over 6 months to find your way out if lost" resonated with me, loud and clear, then!
Fortunately a young English speaking local saw our lost look and came to our rescue. He happened to know one of our local guides, after more than 30 minutes and enlisted another friend's help, they successfully reunited us, WITHOUT asking us for payment!
Here's a good read (with photos) on exploring the medina if you're interested:

Here is one of the most beautiful moments I was able to experience during my stay in Egypt last week. Together with my wonderful daughter LIlly and two local guides we went out into the desert around 5:30 a.m. to experience the sunrise.
Since it is forbidden to travel with a motorized vehicle in this part of the desert at night, our only option was horseback. However, since I love riding, I was immediately drawn to this idea. To my great joy, my daughter felt the same way.
It was a very relaxing trip that we both enjoyed very much. Even if it takes a bit of effort to get up shortly after 4 a.m. on vacation, I would do it again at any time.
Hier sehr Ihr einen der schönsten Momente den ich während meines Aufenthaltes in Ägypten von letzter Woche erleben durfte. Zusammen mit meiner wundervollen Tochter LIlly und zwei lokalen Guides ging es gegen 5:30 Uhr am Morgen hinaus in die Wüste um dort den Sonnenaufgang zu erleben.
Da es verboten ist nachts mit einem motorisierten Fahrzeug in diesem Teil der Wüste unterwegs zu sein blieb uns nur der Pferderücken. Da ich es jedoch liebe zu reiten, war ich von dieser Idee sofort angetan. Meiner Tochter ging es, zu meiner großen Freude, genau so.
Es war ein ausgesprochen entspannter Ausflug, den wir beide sehr genossen haben. Auch wenn es etwas Überwindung kostet in seinem Urlaub kurz nach 4 aufzustehen, so würde ich das jederzeit wieder machen.

This cute little Bleu Fox was shot several years ago in St. Paul, Alaska. It is a subspecies of Artic Fox (Vulpes pribilofensis) referred to as Blue because in its dark phase it sometimes looks bluish. We saw one or two touring around the island but a friend and I regularly saw them behind Trident Seafoods, where they no doubt were sometimes able to score some scraps. During my visit Trident was packaging halibut, by the thousands. It was in their cafeteria where we had our meals which were always delicious. There was always halibut available too! I went with a guide to St. Paul but there are local guides there and if I go again, I’ll make arrangements with one of them. Besides the fox, there are many species of birds, some of which can only be found in areas this remote. We photographed several species of auklet, seabirds and songbirds but my favorite subject was the fox. (Canon 1DX, 600mm lens, f/4, 1/1000 second, ISO 320)
If you want to check out any of the timelapses or videos I’ve been posting, they can only be seen on social media. I post the same content to all three sites but my favorite is Flickr, which downsizes the images the least.
