The Chinese Goshawks have finished and now it is the turn of the Oriental Honey Buzzards, Grey-faced Buzzards, Eurasian Sparrowhawks and smaller numbers of Northern Hobby and Japanese Sparrowhawk. The Eurasian Kestrels have just arrived at Isahaya, along with the […]

Halcón peregrino (Peregrine Falcon) Falco peregrinus
Pensar que hace mas de 8 años que estoy fotografiando aves y ayer por la mañana en el Arroyo Itá tuve la suerte de poder ver a un Halcón peregrino perchando en el árbol seco de la vereda del costado de la reserva. Con las aves no hay nada escrito, solo es cuestión de conicidir […]

13th Annual Sanibel Lighthouse Hawk Watch
The Sanibel Lighthouse Hawk Watch with Vince McGrath has been an anticipated event for a number of years prior to leaving the state of Florida for what you might not believe a move of mine to the great white north. The Osprey above (image 1) was photographed at the Sanibel Island Lighthouse in October 2016. […]

Endangered Species Act: A Big Success!
One of the most frustrating elements for me of the toxic political climate today is how little facts seem to matter anymore in public discourse. It’s become a common belief that the Endangered Species Act hasn’t worked because, since its passage in 1973, only a handful of species have recovered enough to be de-listed. Just […]

Little Estero Lagoon Spring Nesting
An early May visit to Little Estero Lagoon south of Fort Myers Beach was very rewarding with a walk of the beach beginning at the Wyndham Garden Hotel. The north lagoon was active with wading birds like I had never seen before at this location. There was a feeding frenzy underway the likes of which […]

The sunrise above (image 1) was photographed at Everglades Agricultural Area in April 2016. Tom […]

Lake Apopka, 11/21/2015
Lake Apopka has been spectacular over the last month or so. For starters, a month ago, a Brown Booby was blown inland by a storm, found Lake Apopka, and now apparently doesn’t want to leave. It’s been living on the lake for the last month, usually too far away to see with binoculars. However, today […]
