Alphabetical list

Well, you do not always manage to take a satisfactory series of pictures which would present a given species and its natural habitat extensively enough.  I took some photos of the black-and-rufous warbling finch, but they are far from satisfactory. Black-and-rufous warbling finches occur in Bolivia, Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay, so there’s not much chance that this gallery will change. A finch weighs about 20 grams.

I wouldn’t have been able to photograph this bird, or to be more precise, a pair of these birds, without a guide. The guide stops the car at some point, we march several dozen meters, and here they are, sitting on their “duty branch”, on a massive tree. They didn’t pay much attention to us while we were photographing them. Black-and-white owls can reach up to half a kilogram in weight. They appear in Mexico, through Costa Rica, Venezuela, Colombia to Peru. They live in humid forests, eat insects, frogs, small birds and mammals.

The Black-baked Gull is much bigger than Red-billed Gull and Black-billed Gull. Its weight comes to 1.4 kilogram with a wingspan of less than 1.5 meters. It was quite common but I could not come closer as it was more timid than others photographed seagulls. Apart from Australia and New Zealand, where I had the pleasure to take those photos, it also occurs in Africa and South America.

In its behavior it resembled our treecreepers. It moved around tree trunks quite swiftly and deftly, searching cracks in bark for insects. It is bigger than our treecreeper, as it weighs about 30 grams. It occurs in warm, humid forests of Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay.
