The creation of a sanctuary for birds with a few feeders offering a variety of food to sustain them in the winter months was actually an afterthought. The Eastern Bluebird above (image 3) was photographed at Casa Almeida in January 2017. The Brown Creeper above (image 1) was photographed at […]

Fraile (Killdeer) Charadrius vociferus
Durante mi viaje a Cuba he tenido la oportunidad de fotografiar al Fraile mientras realizaba una caminata de 4 kilómetros para llegar hasta Cayo Buba. En un determinado punto del trayecto fuí observando que la arena de la playa daba lugar a restos triturados de caracoles que cubrían toda la superficie de la playa y […]
Choca corona rojiza (Rufous-capped antshrike) Thamnophilus ruficapillus

It’s a large reservoir with some birding infrastructure in the northern arms. I haven’t heard about this site until a few days before, and it was surprisingly good there. There is […]
Pelícano pardo (Brown Pelican) Pelecanus occidentalis

Lo podía ver todos los días sobrevolando el mar y en ocasiones zonas aledañas demostrando toda […]
