This morning I went out to Lake Apopka. A friend of my told me that he’d found several interesting flycatchers there: Brown-crested, Ash-throated and Least Flycatcher. I had to borrow my daughter’s bike to get out there in time to see the birds and get back in time. I must have looked pretty funny riding […]
Saira de antifaz (Fawn-breasted tanager)
Comienzo con las fotos de aves que pude obtener durante mi viaje a El Soberbio; esta Saira de antifaz fue la primera en posar frente a la cámara a los pocos minutos de haber llegado al lugar. Mientras charlaba con Waldemar en el balcón de la cabaña principar de la posada en los árboles que […]
Buntings, A Royal Appointment
A couple of years ago, during the latter part of February, a group of us headed off to the Cairngorm ski slopes hoping to add Snow bunting to our list of iconic Scottish species.

Maxine Barritt Park is a new and unique multi-use facility located right on the beach. The fresh water impoundment […]
Japanese Weasel in Motion

Marl Bed Flats, 1/23/2013
This morning was my best birding morning at Marl Bed Flats, though the photographic side of my brain must have shut down. I went there early this morning hoping to meet with the Space Coast Birding Festival group. I thought they were going to meet there at 6:00am, but apparently they were meeting elsewhere and […]
