Fruit-eating, seed-pooping animals can help restore degraded forests

Fruit-eating, seed-pooping animals can help restore degraded forests

In a once-cleared patch of rainforest, four black-tufted marmosets scamper up to a pile of bananas lying in a plastic dish on the ground. Within the banana flesh are the seeds of a local native tree, hidden there by scientists. After briefly investigating, the marmosets (Callithrix penicillata) dig in. When they’ve eaten their fill, they […]

Great Kiskadee and Lookalikes

May 22, 2017December 23, 2019 Scott Simmons 2 Comments

Everytime I go to Mexico I love seeing Great Kiskadees. They’re beautiful birds, and they’re always calling, it seems, so you always know they’re around. But there are other species of flycatchers that look very much like them. The Social Flycatcher has a smaller bill and a slightly different facial pattern. I’ve seen those in […]

Acapulco Birding, Aug. 2015

August 29, 2015December 23, 2019 Scott Simmons Leave a comment

Yesterday I returned from my service project in Acapulco, Mexico. We were working with an orphanage there, and my time was pretty filled up with that. However, in the mornings I was able to walk along the streets around the campus and see what birds I could find. I found four new life birds on […]

Road building spree hurts Amazon birds

Road building spree hurts Amazon birds

February 1, 2015December 23, 2019 Supertrooper 2 Comments

A city-dwelling crow in Japan strategically drops a nut near a crosswalk into moving traffic. The bird then waits patiently for the light to turn before dropping down to the road and collecting the cracked nut in safety. While this type of animal behavior is fascinating, such adaptation to the human world is not possible […]

¡Cómo no aprovechar la oportunidad de lograr unas buenas fotografías!!!! Sabido es que en la fotografía de aves el quedarse quieto tiene sus beneficios ornitológicos, como lo dice don Tito Narosky es una de las pruebas mas duras para el fotógrafo. Aveces cuando las novedades escasean uno siempre comete el error de cambiar de lugar […]

Cuando la confianza vence al miedo

Cuando la confianza vence al miedo

September 25, 2013December 23, 2019 Marcelo Allende Leave a comment

Estas fotos son un claro ejemplo que muestran los resultados de cuando la confianza vence al miedo; es sabido que algunas especies son mucho mas confiadas que otras, pero luego de un buen tiempo brindando comida a las aves, estoy logrando que lleguen a acostumbrarse de mi presencia y a veces la cercanía me juega […]

I spent last week in Acapulco, Mexico. I wasn’t there for birding. I was there with a small group of people that were working in an orphanage. I barely went anywhere outside the orphanage, but I did walk the streets nearby in the mornings, and once in the afternoon, just to see what I might […]
