Durante mis vacaciones de este año en Punta Cana pude mejorar bastante las fotografías que obtuve en Cuba de la Ciguita parula, el Pity caribeño; muy parecido en colores, tamaño, y vocalización, a nuestro Pitiayumí; especie bastante frecuente de observar y muy colaboradora con el fotógrafo al momento de fotografiarlo.

Arabian Wheatear – Abha area
Whilst birding recently in the Abha area I came across a few Arabian Wheatear Oenanthe lugentoides where birds were most often perched on areas of boulders with slightly more males recorded than females. This is a rather scarce resident of the south-west highlands, but is also found in Oman, Palestine and Yemen, mainly in rocky, […]
Tangará gris (Orange-headed Tanager) Thlypopsis sordida
Recién durante la jornada del pasado día Sabado mientras recorríamos las vías en la zona de la desembocadura del Arroyo Garupá pude darme el gusto de fotografiar como a mi me gusta al Tangará gris; en honor a la verdad…bastante desacertado el nombre común que se le ha puesto a esta especie en la Argentina; […]
Mosqueta enana (Eared Pigmy-tyrant) Myiornis auricularis
El día Sábado pasado fuimos con Nico, Roby, y Damián Lozano a la desembocadura del Arroyo Garupá a recorrer el sector de las vías para ver que encontrábamos; una vez mas el lugar no defraudó con respecto a las expectativas que teníamos puestas en el y volvimos a casa luego de 132 minutos de caminata […]
Arabian Serin – Abha area
Whilst birding recently in the Abha area I came across a few endemic Arabian Serin Serinus rothschildi. This is a rather scarce resident of the south-west highlands occurring in scrubland and acacia sites, where they have been seen regularly on Raydah escarpment at Raydah Farm and at the farm at the bottom of the escarpment […]
Birding safari in Tadoba Tiger Reserve

The Brown Fish Owl, featured above, was another price catch of the afternoon safari, later that day. While waiting at the camp for the jeep, […]
Shining (Arabian) Sunbird – Raydah Escarpment
Whilst birding the Raydah Escarpment in June I saw a few Arabian Sunbird Cinnyris hellmayri. The birds were at the bottom of the escarpment near the village and dry wadi. It is normally treated as conspecific with Shining Sunbird Cinnyris habessinicus, but differs in males by having much-reduced and slightly duller red breast-band and more […]
