Dag 13: Ruta Nacional Secundaria 250, Santa Rita

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

After breakfast we go to a feeding place for vultures. Besides the regular black vultures there are three King Vultures. They are much more beautiful and bigger than the black vultures. After 1.5 hours of photographing I let myself be brought back for a nap. One of the other photographers manages to make a picture with the vulture in flight. With my one-armed photo technique that is too much to ask for me at the moment.

It is not raining, which means that we can also take nice pictures of the birds at the feeders, such as the toucans and the gray falcon.

Later in the afternoon we go looking for other species along the road. We find a few more species than you would expect, including seedeaters.
