        Perhaps my clumsy interpretation of the word "album" but want to ensure you know it's a dynamic species browser. Meaning, a "tree of life" entirely based on photos/species intros that updates automatically.

        The word "album" suggests to me something static and manually updated.         Posted 5 years ago

          No I think it was my clumsiness in the reply as I saw it as a wall of magic, a thing of beauty - now on my favourites - and I meant that I may have another hummingbird later in the Costa Rica trip that could end up there :¬) Posted 5 years ago
