As the late morning sun got hotter, the Tigress mom, Choti Tara led her cubs into the shaded undergrowth farther away from us and soon disappeared.

Paloma colorada (Pale vented pigeon) Patagioenas cayennensis
Después de varios días de inactividad regreso hoy para compartir estas fotografías que pude obtener hoy en horas de la mañana en la Reserva del Arroyo Itá de una Paloma colorada.

Pygmy Owls in Maridalen

Lilac-breasted Roller in Amboseli National Park
After several safaris into the Amboseli National Park, we were yet to see anyAfrican Lion. And our driver-guide wanted to make one last attempt to search for them on one of our game drives. We started off on a good note with the sighting of yet another African Elephant, this time with a suckling calf. […]
