Here’s what some of our contributors have written lately on their personal blogs:
Mike, our contributor from Japan, posted a photo of a sea-hawk as part of his Bird Photo series.
Anu, our contributor from India, also wrote about a bird, the Indian roller.

Ana, contributing editor, wrote about exploring new aspects of her hometown of Buenos Aires.
