A male sage-grouse courts a female

I’ve stopped my dithering, and finally posted a Photos Page. I want this page to provide pointers to photography resources that I have found helpful, and also to link to a number of different galleries of photos (research related as well general natural history photos). This process is still in it’s infancy, so please check back later when I’ll likely have more (and better annotated) photos available for you. So far I’ve only uploaded a handful of photos in a sage-grouse set and a field work set.

I ended up going with Flickr (pro) for hosting. This seemed to be a relatively inexpensive way to provide big images, and has the added advantage of being more “social.” I’m happy if my photos get used for educational purposes, and Flickr seems more set up for getting the pictures out to different groups and interests. I’ll keep my free Picasa account for my personal photos. I’m not necessarily a huge fan of the way Flickr pages look, but it isn’t anything I can’t live with. Maybe at some point in the future I will invest in a better looking site that looks more like a portfolio.
