Fiofío corona dorada (Greenish Elaenia)
Primera especie nueva que pudimos fotografiar en la margen izquierda del Arroyo Garupá el día 6 de Abril, como es habitual en estos casos al tener frente a la lente de la cámara a una especie nunca antes vista por nosotros surgen todas las dudas al respecto, el inconveniente se agrava como en este caso […]
Orlando Wetlands Park, 4/19/2013
