Tan concentrado estaba siguiendo a las Jacanas a través del visor de la cámara que me perdí a este Ipacaá caminando muy cerca del auto. Afortunadamente desde que hay dos cámaras en el grupo se divide un poco la tarea y lo que se me escapa a mi lo fotografía Willy.
Palmedes Swallowtail
Spring butterflies are starting to appear in SW Florida. This Palmedes Swallowtail (Paplilo palmedes) was seen patroling the woodline on the Seaboard Grade in the Babcock-Webb WMA in Punta Gorda on March 5, 2013.

Garcita azulada (Striated Heron)
Avanzamos en el camino tras sortear una nueva tranquera, la cadena ofreció un poco mas de resistencia que las otras por lo pesado del portón pero logramos avanzar, la mañana se tornaba calurosa y las únicas que parecían soportar la temperatura agobiante eran las aves zancudas. Los carpinchos por momentos entorpecían nuestro avance mientras los […]
