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, […]

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 […]
Chinchero chico (Narrow-billed Woodcreeper) Lepidocolaptes angustirostris
Que mejor lugar para este Chinchero que los huecos del tronco de esta palmera para encontrar arañas o insectos!!! Estas fotografías se obtuvieron en el patio de la casa de Luis en el Club Refugio Ombú en los últimos meses del año pasado.
The fate of our Blackcaps on Cyprus – food for thought!
This is how our Blackcaps end up in Cyprus: as dead meat! 2.500.000 migrating birds are killed each year in Cyprus alone. Stop the illegal killing of migrating birds in Cyprus and DONATE HERE! Twice a year Cyprus, the third greatest island in the mediterranean, is a crucial stopover site for millions of migrating birds during […]
