Bobolink…

Bobolink might not seem like a superhero, but these little grassland birds have superpowers! Each year, they fly 12k miles roundtrip from South America to North America. In their lifetime, that's a distance equal to several laps around the Earth! 🌎

I have the best job in the world!

A couple of days ago we changed the day of the tour due to the arrival of hurricane Beryl....and....with lots of success!!!

Victor and Laishan decided to come back to this beautiful place and wanted to do another tour. In 2022 they already joined me on the "Rio Lagartos" tour and "Mayan Sites" tour....

This time we did the "History of the Jungle"...

Last week we had another wonderful day in Rio Lagartos with Allan Roffey and David Smith. David took these beautiful photographs of these wonderful bird-species.

Today 3 weeks ago…it was the last day of a long drought…
We saw lots of beautiful birds and….towards the end of the tour we saw this gorgeous Agami Heron….
It was well out of its range…but nature never stops surprising!

On our way back we finally had our first rain….followed by a lot more rain….
Nature looks happy!
Hopefully Beryl will have mercy…

Such amazing creatures

Did You Know: Most adult sea turtles migrate between nesting sites, foraging areas and seasonal warmer waters. This migration can be hundreds and even thousands of miles.

Happy Sea Turtle Week!

Naturally beautiful!
Gracias Jesus Moo Yam Photowildlife for sharing!!!

Known for their elongated snouts and unique appearance, tapirs are essential for maintaining the balance of ecosystems. As "gardeners of the jungle," they help disperse seeds through their droppings, thus contributing to forest regeneration. However, tapirs face numerous threats, including habitat loss due to deforestation, poaching, and conflicts with humans.

Despite the constant dangers of tractor-trailers due to the construction of the Mayan train, the need to cool off in the "aguadas" has put the safety of this typical species at a critical point. I share this beautiful encounter with a pair of tapirs in the Calakmul reserve during my last assignment.

🎼 Don't worry about a thing
'Cause every little thing
Gonna be all right

Rise up this morning
Smiled with the rising Sun
Three little birds
Pitched by my doorstep
Singing sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true
Saying: This is my message to you🎶

A few weeks ago I was contacted by Susanne de Bruin, a reporter from a great Dutch newspaper ad.nl (Algemeen Dagblad) with the question if I would like an interview. I obviously agreed and Susanne and her colleagues made this wonderful article.
I am very thankful and proud about it!

Muuuucho mejor que bebederos!!!!

Curalotodo
Su nombre científico es Hamelia Patens
Su nombre maya, Ix-Canán, significa “guardián de la selva.” Los pueblos indígenas de Guatemala (Kaqchikeles) utilizan la planta para preparar un remedio natural para tratar todo tipo de problemas de la piel, incluyendo, llagas, erupciones cutáneas, heridas, quemaduras, picor, heridas, hongos de la piel y picaduras de insectos y mordeduras.

Recientemente, la unidad de investigación científica de la Universidad de El Salvador (UES) analizó esta planta, cuyo nombre científico es Hamelia Patens y a la cual le atribuyen propiedades para tratar desórdenes mentruales, sangrado, anemia y fiebres, y para aliviar el sarpullido y cicatrizar heridas.

La pregunta que los expertos respondieron es ¿realmente es efectiva? Según Marvin Núñez, uno de los investigadores de la UES, pudieron determinar que el Chichipince (curalotodo) "tiene actividad cicatrizante, antimicrobiana y relajante".

Además, esta planta no causa ningún daño hepático, renal ni a la médula ósea, de acuerdo con Stanley Rodríguez, del laboratorio clínico del centro de estudios.
