Portrait of western lowland Gorilla, Espace Zoologique, Saint Martin La Plaine, France
The western lowland gorilla (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) is the most widespread of all gorilla subspecies.
But it is one of two Critically Endangered subspecies of the western gorilla that lives in montane, primary and secondary forest and lowland swampland in central Africa in Angola, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Republic of the Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea and Gabon.
Large numbers have not protected the western lowland gorilla from decline. Because of poaching and disease, the gorilla’s numbers have declined by more than 60% over the last 20 to 25 years.
Even if all of the threats to western lowland gorillas were removed, scientists calculate that the population would require some 75 years to recover.

Although it is already late September, this juvenile Western Bluebird has yet to fully complete its transitiion to adult plumage. Note the white streaks on its auriculars, malar, throat and breast.

So there were these two sandpipers hanging out in a grassy area of a large regional park. The area had gone underwater from our unusual heavy rains, so it was pretty crazy to see the birds take advantage: mallards, teals, egrets. And really unusual is that the two sandpipers paid absolutely no attention to me. Definitely the closest I've ever been to a Western Sandpiper. I posted the other, a Least Sandpiper, awhile back.
