To travel to Antioch, take normal BART to the Pittsburg/Bay Point station, stay on the train, and continue to the next stop, a transfer platform between two actual stations. At this transfer platform you disembark normal bart and board the new eBART cars to continue to Pittsburg and Antioch. Each car was independently powered by Diesel. It was not possible to move from car to car while in motion.

A bird in flight against an overcast sky framed by jungle trees. A memorable moment. Angela Beske, Tuesday 5 January 2010 I just wanted you to know that I chose this most wonderful photo as the background of my work desk top: I looked at a lot of your photos in the past half hour.. it was not an easy choice!! This one worked best because I can see my short cuts on the dark back ground on the bottom-. Thank YOU!!!!!

by Terry Costales

Everyone's favorite rodent, the Capybara! I have wanted to see one in the wild since I was 10 years old and first read about them in a library book. I saw a large family group of about 5 adults and many young ones. Looking like guinea pigs on steroids they still managed to be adorable.

3-Toed Sloth (Bradypus variegatus)

by Terry Costales

I know this is a male 3-toed sloth because I also got some photos of his back which had the distinctive male marking. We were very lucky on this day and saw several sloths fairly close up and most were actually moving. By contrast, in Costa Rica we saw a few sloths but each one looked like a large ball of moss.

If only our north american cities were populated with flocks of these beautiful Nicobar pigeons. I wouldn't object to them at all.

The swan may look graceful and elegant, but his raised wings actually tell onlookers that this is his territory and don't even think about coming any closer.

This photo was taken about a half an hour after we first saw this wet sloth. He was still climbing which was not surprising because he was a sloth after all.

We were in our skiff and someone spotted this soaking wet sloth climbing a tree. In the wet season the water goes much farther inland and the sloths must swim from tree to tree instead of walk.
