This morning I drove by Mead Gardens hoping to find one of the Swainson’s Warblers that were seen there yesterday. A friend of mine was there too, and we ended up finding both Swainson’s Warblers, plus 12 other warbler species: Ovenbird, Worm-eating Warbler, Black-and-white Warbler, Orange-crowned Warbler, Common Yellowthroat, Northern Parula, Palm Warbler, Pine Warbler, […]
Calandria grande (Chalk-browed Mockingbird)
Comedero puesto en funcionamiento nuevamente al finalizar los fuertes calores del verano por ahora con fruta únicamente, alternando bananas con manzanas y naranjas han comenzado a bajar las Calandrias nuevamente al patio, estas no se resisten a las manzanas y muy de vez en cuando le dan algún que otro picotazo a las bananas. No […]
Wood Duck with Ducklings
The Wood Ducks on Grassy Lake, the pond by my office parking lot, are now the proud parents of four little ducklings. This morning I saw the mom with the four ducklings, and as she swam around thelilypads, the ducklings would walk on top of them following her around. It looked like they only entered […]
Azamidani, Mount Unzen
This morning I tried Azamidani to see if any migrants were passing through. Seems a bit early still, as the Grey-bellied Bullfinch and Red-flanked Bluetail were still there, however all the wintering thrushes had gone. It seems likely that migrant warblers should be passing through any day now. Among the Grey-bellied Bullfinch was one male […]
Lesser Yellowlegs
This past Saturday, I was at Merritt Island NWR (Blackpoint Dr) and at various times a Lesser Yellowlegs flew by and sometimes landed not too far from me. Usually when something like this happens, I don’t have time to check my camera setting and get the shot. So I sometimes shoot with the setting I […]
Eagles and Harriers
March seemed to be a good time for Marsh Harriers and Greater Spotted Eagles down in the Dubai Pivot fields. Whilst I am used to seeing many Harriers this time of year, Greater Spotted Eagles are a different story. Whilst fairly common down the road at the Ras Al Khor sanctuary, in my experience this […]
The White Hawk
Another nice morning spent on Mull’s moors as the high pressure continued for the rest of the week. A pair of Hen Harriers were quartering the rough grass tracking each others every move like they were attached with a piece of string. Both birds broke out into their high pitched squeaky display call and the […]
Golondrina parda (Brown-chested Martin)
Recién llegados al pastizal de la boca del Arroyo Apepú cuando volvíamos de candelaria y aprovechando la luz del sol que recién comenzaba a mostrarse pude ver muchas Golondrinas sobrevolando el agua, pude ver algunas ribereñas, barranqueras y también pero en menor cantidad a la cabeza rojiza. Sabiendo lo complicado que me resulta lograr fotografiarlas […]
