Yellow-faced Grassquit

Wed, 10 Mar 2010 23:50:08 -0700

While seem lie, but this species as common was not between my records even. I have always tried to take photos, but never achieved. Today I was in the car and later appeared and said can take you this photo because almost instantly was flying.

Aunque les parezca mentira, pero esta especie tan común no estaba entre mis registros aun. Siempre he intentado tomarle fotos pero nunca lo había logrado. Hoy me quedé dentro del auto y al rato apareció y por dicha le pude tomar esta foto porque casi al instante se fue volando.

Blue Grosbeak

Wed, 10 Mar 2010 23:41:24 -0700

This is another new records that I had the luck of photograph today. Strong Sun where it was, but either way this is photographing birds and can not choose much. Once Zapotal way to Miramar had seen but not I could take a photo this time. Today even from afar will take about three.

Este es otro de los nuevos registros que tuve la suerte de fotografiar hoy. Fortísimo sol donde estaba, pero ni modo esto es fotografiar aves y no se puede escoger mucho. Sólo una vez la había visto camino de Zapotal a Miramar pero no pude sacarle una foto esa vez. Hoy aunque fuera de lejos logre tomarle unas tres.

Streaked Flycatcher

Wed, 10 Mar 2010 23:30:47 -0700

While not see the Toledos, today was a good day for my why I got three new records of new species to my. This Streaked Flycatcher is one of them and although it is an extreme cut, strong sun had and which was taken from the car is achieved either identify the species and differentiate it from Sulphur-bellied Flycatcher.

A pesar de que no observé los Toledos, hoy fue un buen día porqué obtuve tres nuevos registros de especies para mi. Este Streaked Flycatcher es uno de ellos y a pesar de que es un recorte extremo, el fuerte sol que había y que fue tomada desde el auto no quedó tan mal y se logra identificar bien la especie y diferenciarla del Sulphur-bellied Flycatcher.

Green Hermit

This large Hummingbird is very elusive and in my case it has been difficult to photograph it. I taked these two photos several days ago and I think they are female and male.
