En Cuba ocurre prácticamente lo mismo que en mi país (con respecto a las aves obviamente)…. el pájaro mas fotogénico y por lo tanto mas fácil de fotografiar, es el que mas abunda. En Varadero el Chipe playero, Bijirita de palma, o la Cigüita de palmar como también se lo conoce entre tantos nombres regionales, […]
En esta entrada les presento a uno de los pajaritos mas abundantes que pude observar y fotografiar en el Memories Varadero beach resort, allí fue el lugar en el que nos hospedamos para la estadía durante las vacaciones familiares a inicio de este año. En todo el parquizado del hotel este arañero estaba prácticamente en […]
This morning I drove to the Seminole Ranch Conservation Area. The parking area for it is right across the street from Orlando Wetlands Park. If there’s no hunt planned for the day, you can get there as early as you like and walk to the St. John’s River. The trail takes you to the St. […]

Migrating songbirds are returning to our Western Massachusetts hillside now as I finish the warbler section of A Bestiary — Tales From a Wildlife Garden. I have enjoyed recalling and writing about the numerous encounters I have had […]
Mead Gardens has been exceptionally slow all fall with very few warblers stopping by. But I still like to visit from time to time, especially during the Orange Adubon Society Birdwalks. So yesterday morning I joined the group that was there and had a great time. The biggest highlight was seeing a couple Red-headed Woodpeckers. […]
I had a great morning at Central Winds. It’s always fun to find a Chestnut-sided Warbler, but I ended up with eleven warblers. I got out of my car and had 6 warbler species in the same tree right next to my car, including two early Palm Warblers, a Black-and-white Warbler, American Redstart, Northern Parula, […]
This morning I drove by Mead Gardens hoping to find one of the Swainson’s Warblers that were seen there yesterday. A friend of mine was there too, and we ended up finding both Swainson’s Warblers, plus 12 other warbler species: Ovenbird, Worm-eating Warbler, Black-and-white Warbler, Orange-crowned Warbler, Common Yellowthroat, Northern Parula, Palm Warbler, Pine Warbler, […]
