Dag 14: Vogels in de riviertjes

Home Biota: what is it? Animals Plants Mammals Birds Insects NL EN

We already have many photos of jaguars and otters, so today we are going in search of birds. We will still stop for a jaguar we see, but we will no longer react to a jaguar sighting at full speed with the boat. Consequently, we see more other species today and have many beautiful birds in front of our lenses. One of the most beautiful birds from Tucson, the Vermilion flycatcher, can also be found here.
