Comienzo con las fotos de aves que pude obtener durante mi viaje a El Soberbio; esta Saira de antifaz fue la primera en posar frente a la cámara a los pocos minutos de haber llegado al lugar. Mientras charlaba con Waldemar en el balcón de la cabaña principar de la posada en los árboles que […]
Buntings, A Royal Appointment
A couple of years ago, during the latter part of February, a group of us headed off to the Cairngorm ski slopes hoping to add Snow bunting to our list of iconic Scottish species. A flock of approximately 30 flitted around the chalet rooftops, occasionally alighting on a small area of well trodden snow, to […]

I returned to Marl Bed Flats this morning hoping to photograph the Le Conte’s Sparrow I saw yesterday. I saw one again with the birding group that was there, but alas, no photos.

Little Big Econ SP, 1/22/2013
