Central Winds Park, 9/2/2013
A friend of mine found a Hooded Warbler and a Cerulean Warbler at Central Winds yesterday. Of course, I wasn’t there. I think that all the Hooded Warblers got together and decided to stay away from me whenever I’m in Seminole County–I can’t seem to get that one on my Seminole County list. So of […]
Blåhake
Efter en kall morgon 130903 -1C sÃ¥ blev morgonen 130904 varm med 10C och dis/dimma och mycket fukt i luften detta medförde att fÃ¥glarna inte var pÃ¥ hugget sÃ¥ det fick bli kvalitet istället, sÃ¥ en blÃ¥hake (ung hanne) frÃ¥n norr blev dagens höjdpunkt.

Churrinche (Vermillion Flycatcher) Pyrocephalus rubinus
Casi a punto de terminar la tarde la última vez que fuà al Arroyo Itá, mientras caminábamos con Javier, el único Churrinche que se quedó por estos pagos para pasar el invierno se despidió de nosotros a metros del portón de entrada con los últimos rayos del sol. Las fotos son del dÃa 29 de […]
Flies on a Rose
From the American haiku poet, James William Hackett – “Two flies, so small, it’s a wonder they ever met, are mating on this rose”.
