Miscellaneous Information: 



You will be required to provide photographic or video evidence in this thread of each event submitted for the MBI Program.
If your thread does not contain these photos the MBI Committee will not be able to approve your reports. PHOTOS AND VIDEO S MUST BE PLACED IN ADDITIONAL POSTS, NEVER IN THE FIRST POST IN A JOURNAL.

Photos are available but I cannot see how to post them. Instructions would be appreciated. (What is a URL?)

You can post photos as "attachments" to a post (not the best way).  The better way is to use an off-site image hosting company (I put stuff on my own webserver) and then link to it here...you just input the URL in the photo popup and it will insert it for you.

Thanks Matt. It took a while to figure out, but here's a photo of the male with eggs in his mouth.
 
This is the female.
