Read my new book, The 10 Best Things You Can Do For Your Bird at Amazon or at many other fine distributors like Barnes & Noble, iTunes, Kobo, and more.


By public demand, and after a delay of an embarrassing number of years, I've finally put my notorious essay, Ender and Hitler: Sympathy for the Superman, free on the fabulous internets.

A bibliography of my published books and stories.

Here's a simple card-counting FAQ to get you up to speed on the basics. Here's the true story of the notorious DD' blackjack team, told for the first time on the fabulous internets. No other team went from a starting investor's bankroll of zero to winning millions of dollars.


A Sadean take on Asimov's classic Three Laws of Robotics can be found in Roger Williams' NOW REVIEWED ON SLASHDOT!!! The Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect. Adult readers only please -- explicit sex and violence. For updates on the "Dead Tree Project" and other topics, you may visit the official fan site, Passages in the Void..


My Bird Lists -- My Louisiana State Life List, My Yard List and, tah dah, My World Life List.


HEY! What happened to the Peachfront Conure Files? The world's only OFFICIAL Peachfront Conure site now features free peachfront conure coverage, including a magazine length Intro to Conures previously published in American Cage-Bird Magazine, now free on the web. I offer the best free Peachfront Conure information on the internet. If you have great Peachfront Conure info, stories, or photos to share, contact me so I can publicize your pet, your breeding success, your great photograph, etc. on my site. Thanks.







if you were chasing around crowned solitary eagles, you wouldn't have time to update either

Jan. 8, 2013 -- part 2

Our flight was canceled. Our next flight was delayed. We whimpered and moaned and looked very sad, but there were only three seats left --obtainable with much difficulty -- and I ended up in a middle seat. Talk about luck. When the two ladies approached my aisle, the blonde in the aisle asked ME if I was willing to swap so she could sit next to her friend. Who gives up an aisle? Of course I said yes.

We landed in Iguazu and immediately spotted Guira Cuckoo, Greater Ani, and wonderful looks at the 3 largest toucans -- Toco, Green-billed/Red-breasted, and Chestnut-Eared Aracari. Green-billed is a life bird for me, and what a beauty.

Other birds include:

  • Pale-Vented Pigeon
  • Plumbeous Kite
  • Roadside Hawk
  • Black Vulture
  • Rufous Thighed Kite (a single perched bird)
  • Southern Caracara
  • Great Kiskadee
  • Swallow Tailed Kite
  • Banded Pigeon
  • Fork-tailed Flycatcher
  • Tropical Flycatcher
  • Rusty-Margined Guan

Alas, the guan is a better view desired -- I had splendid looks from the neck down but I never saw its head clearly. One day!

Yes, I'm aware that I'm now running a week behind on updates. There's never a dull moment...
