Do you know what time ducks wake up? At the quack of dawn! Do you know how to get down off a horse? You don’t get down off a horse, you get down off a duck! A man and a duck are walking outside together. Suddenly the man sees a low flying plane and yells, […]
Capuchino canela (Tawny-bellied Seedeater) Sporophila hypoxantha
En 23 de Noviembre pasado Javier viajó hasta la localidad correntina de Itatí y al costado del camino de ingreso desde la Ruta nacional 12 pudo fotografiar algunos Capuchinos que forrajeaban en los pastizales del costado del camino. Hoy les presentamos al Capuchino canela. Este Capuchino de 10 centímetros de longitud tiene el vientre de […]
Capuchino garganta café (Dark-throated Seedeater) Sporophila ruficollis
Comparto hoy estas fotografías de un inmaduro de Capuchino garganta café (macho) que pudimos fotografiar en el camino de ingreso a la Unidad de Conservación Cambyretá el día 16 de Noviembre pasado. Nos llevó algo de tiempo confirmar la especie debido a las diferencias de coloración que hay en el plumaje comparándolo con nuestro anterior […]
White-crowned Sparrow (Gambel’s)
This morning I drove out to one of my favorite sparrow spots and found a White-crowned Sparrow. This spot seems to be good at attracting them, but for some reason, we get our fair share of the “Gambel’s” subspecies of this bird. In fact, I think every bird I’ve seen here, whether immature or adult, […]

[…]

How do you like your Bee-eater?
On the eve of our Dutch Knights Champions of the Flyway adventure I’m in the train to Amsterdam. I’ll be staying at Marc’s place for the final preparations and a tiny bit of sleep before heading to the airport. Early morning we’ll be meeting Gert and taking off to Israel, where the event and the 24-hour bird […]
Black-bellied Whistling Ducks
There’s a little lake (or large pond) near my house. It’s just a little community pond, but during the winter time, there can be as many as 100 Black-bellied Whistling Ducks there. They are also very tolerant of people. They like to hang out on a little hill, and there’s a fence which is perfect […]
