Algunas especies de aves tienen un comportamiento tan arisco ante la presencia del hombre que cualquier intento que hagamos para acercarnos a ellas al momento de intentar lograr una foto resultará en la huída del lugar. El Churrinche es una de esas especies que siempre está atenta al menor de nuestros movimientos, la única posibilidad […]
Two Subspecies of Yellow-throated Warbler

They are one of our more common warblers here in Florida during Spring and Fall migration, but some can be found all winter long, and a few even breed here in the summer. We have two subspecies of Yellow-throated Warbler that occur here in Florida. Dominica Subspecies […]
