You may be surprised to learn that our global team of wildlife photographers and authors published more than 1,500 articles last year in promoting the cause of wildlife conservation.

Tersina (Swallow-tanager)
Muchas Tersinas pude observar en la Posada la Bonita en El Soberbio, algunas mas confiadas que otras me permitieron obtener buenas fotografías, inclusive pude experimentar distintos seteos de balance de blanco en la cámara para tratar de que el color azul del pájaro salga tal cual es en la realidad, finalmente dejé todo en automático […]
