The number of black snub-nosed monkeys in southwestern China has increased by more than 50 percent since the 1990’s due to conservation efforts, reports Chinese state media. A survey launched last month in the high elevation forests of China’s Yunnan Province and Tibet Autonomous Region indicates that there are now more than 3,000 monkeys, up […]
Espinero grande (Greater thornbird) Phacellodomus ruber
Momentos como el que voy a mostrar ahora no ocurren muy de seguido, estas fotos son del día 07 de Junio y fueron tomadas en la reserva del Arroyo Itá; ya había mostrado un os días atrás a un Espinero que pude fotografiar posado en el Tártago, pero como permanecí en el lugar y luego […]
Scientists map human-wildlife conflict in India
Designating protected areas in a country with 1.27 billion people comes with its own consequences: around each protected area in India lies a zone where wildlife strays out, and people stray in. Inevitably, there is contact, and more often than not, conflict. Human wildlife conflict has been under the lens for a long time. How […]
Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge by Don Getty

Females are duller and […]
Male Hoopoe
Upupa epops – Bucerotiformes (Coraciformes) – Upupidae – C’est la seconde couvée de l’été! Ces photos datent de la mi juillet; le mâle continue d’apporter des insectes à sa femelle qui couve seule. Ces affûts ont l’air faciles mais détrompez-vous, certaines fois il va directement au nid dans le mur en terre battue de l’appentis, […]
Otterly Marvellous
There is nothing in my mind that is better than sitting out in nature, waiting for wildlife to show it’s face. Here is a lovely otter who was happily tucking into his dinner.
Lavandera (White-headed marsh-tyrant) Arundinicola leucocephala
Todavía me cuesta creer haber fotografiado a este pájaro en Posadas, no veía al macho de la Lavandera desde nuestro viaje a Colonia Carlos Pellegrini en el 2011; si bien amigos nuestros lo habían fotografiado en ambientes acuáticos de Posadas yo únicamente había podido fotografiar a la hembra en los pastizales de la desembocadura del […]
