Not countable and thus not life bird #474 but I did want to see one before I left Southern California, and after asking a few local experts on OrangeCountyBirding, it turned out there was a population only about 10 miles away in the Santa Ana “River”, so I drove over to Huntington Beach this morning before work, walked up the levee,...

I shoot raw with an EOS 50D. I display my pictures pretty much exclusively on the Web as JPEGs, and almost never print them. I import, edit, and catalog raw files in Adobe Lightroom 2.4 on a Mac with OS X 10.5. Of course many people who view my pictures use Linux and Windows as well. What color space should I choose? sRGB or Adobe RGB, and when...

Santiago Oaks Regional park in Orange has been one of the best sites for finding medium to large moths since I moved to southern California. This geometer from August 2 is Hodges #7114 – Idaea demissaria: Thanks to Bob Patterson for the ID. BugGuide Moth Photographers Group (All-Leps) presence in California (U. of California at Berkeley)...

Sophonia orientalis Irvine, 2009-07-16 This introduced species from Taiwan shows up on my balcony occasionally. It’s a little less than half a centimeter long. The spots on its hindquarters are fake eyes. In the field at night they really do look like eyes, and consequently the bug appears to walk backwards. BugGuide Bionomics and...

If this blog goes dark, you’ll know why. This always scares me. I wish WordPress had reliable XML export and import, not SQL. All done. Automatic upgrade failed, but manual upgrade seems to have succeeded. Holler if you notice any problems.

Here’s one I just found at San Joaquin yesterday, so the ID’s still a little hesitant; but I think it’s Hodges#4866, Abegesta reluctalis. Could also be a similar species in the genus. Thanks to Maury J. Heiman for the ID. This picture is quite a bit larger than life size. The moth itself was less than a centimeter. BugGuide...

I was reading Arthur Morris’s blog today when I noticed that he was shooting with wildly different settings than I was. He seemed to be using a wide open aperture, and a relatively high 400 ISO even in sunlight, while relying on the camera to eliminate grain. This let him shoot with shutter speeds as fast as 1/2000 of a second. He had...

I didn’t realize how much I missed New York graffiti until I actually saw some this weekend on the “ampitheater” in Mason Park: Irvine is such an antiseptic and boring town. It needs more of this. It’s not like anyone was using that wall for anything else.
