Phylloscopus collybita – Passeriformes – Phylloscopidae – This bird feeds on insects and their larvae and will also eat fruits. The poor fellow is prey to the Sparrowhawk! This one is a female: Ilse nourrit d’insectes et de leurs larves qu’il fait tomber des branchages, ainsi que de fruits et serait une proie de choix […]
Red-breasted and White-breasted Nutchatches
Nuthatches are members of the genus Sitta and are located worldwide. North America is home to four species; White-breasted Nuthatch, Red-breasted Nuthatch, Brown-headed Nuthatch, and Pygmy Nuthatch. I have observed and photographed only the first two nuthatches, but hopefully I will be able to see and photograph the other two in the future. Nuthatches name […]
Mead Gardens, 2/13/2013
There was a sure sign that Spring is returning to Central Florida this morning at Mead Gardens–the lovely sound of Northern Parula singing in the Live Oak trees. It’s a very welcome sound, and I found about 5 this morning, though none posed for photographs. A pair of Wood Ducks, however, were just begging to […]

Steller’s Sea Eagle – Haliaetus pelagicus
Steller’s Sea Eagle were everywhere! Although most of the time we observed them while driving around, so I didn’t have that many opportunities to photograph them. They easily outnumbered other birds of prey (maybe even combined!), and what a magnificent sight they are!

A feisty skunk
In November 2012 I traveled to Torres del Paine National Park in South Chile, with the main goal of seeing and photographing pumas. I organized the trip through Trogon Tours, a company specialized in South American birding and wildlife trips, owned and managed by my friend Luis Segura, who was my guide throughout the trip. […]
Saira militar (Red-necked Tanager)
A esta belleza pude fotografiarla en la Urbanización Ambiental del Pontal Norte en el Balneario Camboriú en el Brasil durante el mes de Enero; llevo varios días buscando información en la web a cerca de la distribución de esta especie del género “Tangará” en nuestro país ya que figura con registros accidentales pero no he […]
