    Best Bird of 2011 So Far

    Streamer-tailed Tyrant today, at a wetland near home. Not particularly rare but well, the best so far. Haven't been out much.

    First Bird seen in 2011 prediction.

    Woke up by a noisy Red-shouldered Macaw screaming outside my window. No complains though :-)

    Highs and Lows of 2010

    Highs were probably finding and photographing a Black-banded Owl in the Pantanal and the Atlantic Rainforest race of Long-tailed Potoo (surely to be split from Amazonian populations). Lows... not sure, maybe missing the photo of a Swainson's Thrush here in the Atlantic Rainforest

    Confused with Nikon prices, help

    I'm shopping for a Nikon bino, a 10x that is not very heavy. I was set on the 10x36 Monarch ATB but they are out of stock at B&H (where they cost $237). So I checked at Adorama and saw that the same bino there costs $279 http://www.adorama.com/NK1036M.html BUT there's also a 10x42 Monarch ATB...

    Ivory-billed Woodpecker (formerly updates)

    That's the saddest hoax in the history of the IBW lunatic search. Just look at the "news" at the front page of that site.... "six packs abs exercizes for men"... or "VIP WEALTH CLUB is a short-cut to success for anyone looking to make money NOW" wow

Even though we stayed for just a day and a half, we recorded 140 species, and I'm not counting the ones in rural areas before...

    Cormorants

    If there was a ranking for birds, the Neotropic Cormorant would probably occupy the lower parts of it. They are very common at its range whanever there's open water with fish in it. They are a bit ugly, with it's all black color. Experienced twitchers may not even raise the binocular to take a...

    Birding while on photography assignment

    This past week was spent on Florianópolis photographing for a nice local hotel. The island of Florianópolis is a famous summer destination in South Brazil, as it has many scenic beaches. We did some aerial photography which was really cool. The possibilities of photographing from a helicopter...

    Backyard friends

    There's a couple of Tropical Screech-Owls in my area. I've always seen them and took some pictures before. This past week however I decided to try to make a special photo of them. So I put out a multi-flash setup at the backyard, under two big avocado trees. A somewhat "secluded" place, just...

    Goodfellowi

    Just out of curiosity... does anyone know what's the origin of the subspecies name Turdus ignobilis goodfellowi? Pretty funny name for a bird...
