I just finished my 2013 Southwest Florida birding and photography trip. February is nesting and mating season so the birds are active and decked out in breeding plumage making for great photo ops. Some chicks, such as great blue herons and anhingas, have already hatched. It’s a great time of year. I’vebeen shooting in Florida […]

From Courtship to Relationship
Anhinga courtship (Anhinga Anhinga) could be extremely amusing and very fast, as we were able to witness this past Saturday morning at Shark Valley, West entrance to Everglades National Park, while there on a Miami-Dade College photography class. There had been some action, especially with Purple Gallinules that were very abundant and in plain view, […]
Wildlife of Kangaroo Island, South Australia
Kangaroo Island is often referred to as ‘Australian Galapagos’. And for a good reason. Because of its isolation, Kangaroo Island is free of many diseases and pest species found on the mainland, providing a much-needed breeding safe heaven to a wide variety of wildlife species. It is a premier eco-tourism destination in Australia that I […]

Blakiston’s Fish Owl – Bubo blakistoni
We had already listed two of Hokkaido‘s “Big Three”, Red-crowned Crane & Steller’s Sea Eagle, on the first full day of the Hokkaido leg of the tour. So to complete the set all we needed was the Blakiston’s Fish Owl, which we got on our third night on the island.

[Passarinhando no Brasil] Tapiraí, SP. Fevereiro de 2013.
Na terça-feira de carnaval, dia 12/02/2013, fui para Tapiraí, com os amigos Daniel Duarte e Jefferson Otaviano. Tapiraí fica no contínuo de Mata Atlântica da serra de paranapiacaba. Portanto, uma área ainda com muita, muita área verde. Muita mata, muito bicho. Pegamos uma estrada de terra, que passa ao lado da pousada Salve Floresta e […]
