Cuando llegamos al pastizal de la boca del Arroyo Apepú y vi los cardos florecidos le dije a Willy…”Quiero sacar una foto de un bichito posado en uno de esos tallos para que también salga la flor en la composición”. Esperé casi una hora en el lugar que elegí y lo único que se posó […]
Willets in Flight
We had yet one more fun moment at Blackpoint Wildlife Drive this past Saturday. Three Willets flew by, making a half-circle around us before landing in the water. When they were far away, I was able to get all three in the frame. When they were closer, I was only able to get one. When […]
Willet – Tringa semipalmata
I just posted an article about Willets on my blog site http://photobee1.blogspot.com/2013/05/willet-tringa-semipalmata.html
Cerquero de collar (Saffron-billed Sparrow)
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 […]

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 […]
