Fotografiar a una nueva especie de ave es algo que no está sucediendo tan de seguido como en los años previos, llegando ya a las 350 especies fotografiadas nos encontramos con cada vez menos lugares por recorrer en el Sur de la Provincia, por tal motivo volverse a casa con una nueva especie registrada es […]
Black-necked Stilt Walking
On Blackpoint Wildlife Drive, at the same pool where we had seen the Tricolored Herons, Reddish Egrets, Roseate Spoonbills and Willets in my previous posts, we also found several Black-necked Stilts. Several walked pretty close by while we were parked. These birds can be a little bit of a challenge to photograph–the problem is they […]
Reddish Egret Feeding
Reddish Egrets are one of my favorite birds. There was one feeding on Blackpoint Wildlife Drive this past Saturday. He put on quite a show. The best thing about watching these birds is their “canopy feeding.” They dart around like they’re crazy, and then they lift their wings over their heads and jab their bills […]
Up and down and again…
This Spring is surely the one to be reminded as one of the least stable migration we had for years down in the Arava. While some morning start in full swing and there seems to be birds on every bush in the Arava and the sky are filled with migrating raptors, we have many mornings […]
Migrating Over a Carpet of Flowers
The last few weeks have been pretty busy for me with lots of tours and finding lots of migratory birds. This year’s early rain through the month of March was extreme but all along we knew that it would be a spectacular spring and hence have been rewarded with carpets of amazing multicoloured blooms covering […]
Snapping Turtle!
I saw this big snapping turtle sunning himself on the shore of The Reservoir in Central Park on one of the first warm sunny days of the year last week. The snapping turtle is New York’s official state reptile. Big ones can grow to around 18 inches long and weigh about 35 pounds. Wild snappers […]
El detalle del cuello de la Torcaza (Eared Dove)
Revisando la guía para copiar el nombre en inglés de la torcaza para el título de la entrada me saqué una duda que apareció cuando editaba la foto, veo unos reflejos dorados en el cuello de esta torcaza que fotografié en el cementerio y fue algo que me pareció raro. Luego de comprobar el detalle […]
Roseate Spoonbill Landing
Yesterday my father and I went out to Merritt Island. We saw nothing terribly unusual (we went in part to find a Neotropic Cormorant that was seen the day before, but we never located it), but there were several photographic moments. We went first to Black Point Wildlife Drive, and the lighting was pretty good. […]
