Momentos como el que voy a mostrar ahora no ocurren muy de seguido, estas fotos son del día 07 de Junio y fueron tomadas en la reserva del Arroyo Itá; ya había mostrado un os días atrás a un Espinero que pude fotografiar posado en el Tártago, pero como permanecí en el lugar y luego […]
Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge by Don Getty
Whether you are an avid birder, or an obsessed nature photographer as I am, the Bird River Migratory Bird Refuge can be a wonderful location to observe and photograph a wide variety of birds. Over the years I have photographed at the Refuge many times. My most recent visit was in April 2013 and all […]
Ebony Jewelwing
The Ebony Jewelwing (Calopteryx maculata) is doubtless the most easily identified damselfly in the Eastern U.S.. It’s large size (1 3/4 inches) and distinctive black wings make it easy to spot and observe. The abdomen of the male is a brilliant metallic green, but often (as in these photos) appears blue.

Common Hawker or Sedge Darner emergences
Emergences d’Aeschnes des joncs – Aeshna junceaOdonata – Aeshnidae – Il n’y a rien de plus beau qu’une libellule qui émerge de son exuvie mais rien n’est jamais gagné à aucun stade de la vie de ces insectes extraordinaires.J’ai trouvé cette larve mourante sur la mousse de la tourbière que je scrutais pour trouver des […]
