Brazil Ubatuba Day #7 – Tanagers Galore

Brazil Ubatuba Day #7 – Tanagers Galore

November 29, 2018December 23, 2019 Yoav Perlman Leave a comment

Today’s birding in the Atlantic Forest of Ubatuba was really about brilliance. We could not have our breakfast quietly, nor leave the lodge on time, because of tanager et al. action on the bananas. Green-headed Tanager is truly spectacular Brazilian Tanager is so brilliant red it hurts the eye Blue Dacnis are uber-pretty too. Here’s […]

Whimbrel At Carlos Pointe: Part II

Whimbrel At Carlos Pointe: Part II

August 29, 2018December 23, 2019 Bob Pelkey 1 Comment

The Whimbrel that had been reported daily at Carlos Pointe for nearly a week prior to my visit was of course not guaranteed to be there. The Whimbrel was difficult to identify as it was found to be loafing with its bill hidden in its right wing while surrounded by Marbled Godwits and Willets. The […]

Gaviotín Real (Royal Tern) Thalasseus maximus (Boddaert, 1783)

Gaviotín Real (Royal Tern) Thalasseus maximus (Boddaert, 1783)

July 2, 2017December 23, 2019 Marcelo Allende 3 Comments

Una de las primeras especies que pude ver por primera vez ni bien pisé la playa del hotel Memories en Varadero junto a la Gaviota reidora y al pelícano fué el Gaviotín real; este gaviotín solo se acercaba al agua para zambullirse si veía algún pez nadando cerca de la superficie del mar. Pude observar […]

Little Estero Lagoon Spring Nesting

Little Estero Lagoon Spring Nesting

June 5, 2016December 23, 2019 Bob Pelkey Leave a comment

For good reason Little Estero Lagoon comes in a close second as a favorite Southwest Florida wildlife venue behind Bunche Beach Preserve. The birds were very accommodating as I continued my walk south toward Carlos Point and back. The Black Scoter was an especially nice find with their behavior “ridiculously tame” as world wildlife photographer […]

Bunche Beach Preserve: Sunrise West End

April 21, 2016December 23, 2019 Bob Pelkey Leave a comment

Recent days, weeks, and months have offered great birding possibilities at Bunche Beach Preserve in South Fort Myers.           The Reddish Egret with prey above (image 1) was photographed at Bunche Beach Preserve in April 2016. An early April visit to Bunche followed my January visit when an American Flamingo was […]

Pelagic Trip from Black Point Marina, 9/20/2014

Pelagic Trip from Black Point Marina, 9/20/2014

September 28, 2015December 23, 2019 Scott Simmons Leave a comment

Sunday I went with some friends on a pelagic trip out to Miami. I’ve never birded in Miami-Dade County before, so I was hoping for some lifers. We had west winds all day, though, so birds were sparse. We didn’t see a single shearwater the whole day, and we saw only a handful of Sooty […]

Forster’s Tern on Lake Monroe

Forster’s Tern on Lake Monroe

March 30, 2014June 17, 2024 Scott Simmons Leave a comment

A couple weeks ago I was at the marina on Lake Monroe looking for (and not finding) a Royal Tern that had been seen there earlier. So I occupied my time photographing other terns. I shared photos of Caspian Terns in another post, but there was also Forster’s Terns patrolling the marina area. Most of […]

Ugh! It’s been two full weeks since I’ve done a blog post! I’ve been busy at home and work, but I’ve also had a little bit of a photographic lull. Weather conditions have made for relatively poor lighting, but mostly I’m just behind in editing photos. Well, this morning I went to the marina on […]
