Rushing out the door, I went over the list in my head. Workout pants and layered tees—check. Running shoes—check. Coat, hat, gloves—check. Keys and sunglasses—check. MP3 player—check. Everything was in order as I pulled out of the driveway. Or so I thought. Fifteen minutes later I pulled into a parking space at thePower Valley Conservation […]
Cisne cuello negro (Black-necked Swan)
Dijo mi amigo Nocolás Beretta en un comentario de la entrada del Pato gargantilla.. “Fotografiar animales en cautiverio es como pescar en una pecera, no tiene gracia” Y personalmente pienso lo mismo. Había mencionado en la entrada que nombré la variedad de especies que se podía observar en las lagunas del “Beto Carrero” así que […]
The Chiffchaff
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!

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 […]

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 […]
Sabiá laranjeira (Rufous-bellied Thrush)
Caminando por los senderos de la Urbanización Ambiental del Portal Norte en Camboriú tuve la oportunidad de compartir varias caminatas con otros turistas brasileros disfrutando de la actividad del avistaje de aves y charlar un poco acerca de lo que acontece en nuestro país acerca de esta apasionante actividad que afortunadamente cada vez somos mas […]
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!
