NI mensajero de la noche ni de la muerte... un Súper Héroe!
Is El Salvador a birding destination? Well...
It´s International Coffee Day! El Salvador´s coffee is one of the best of the world! Let's celebrate it! The secondary forests that provide shade to the coffee plantation are key for the conservation of multiple species. Not only birds but amphibians, reptiles, insects and mammals do get the benefits of this important agricultural product in our country. One of the most remarkable residents of this forests is the close to endemic Blue and White Mockingbird that inhabits coffee plantations and cloud forests above 1500 above sea level in Chiapas (México), Guatemala, El Salvador as well as Honduras, and british TV presenter Nigel Marven and I had the chance to spot one while visiting a coffee plantation in Apaneca in Western El Salvador. Thanks to our friends of @bourboncoffeeroasters Eduardo & master barista Jonathan (El Salvador´s barista champion 2018 & 2019) for receiving us in their amazing cafe. .
El verdadero Superhéroe en el mundo de las aves. Con su gran superpoder nos protege tanto y lastimosamente no le valoramos ni protegemos como debe de ser. 1er Sabado de Septiembre: Día Internacional de los Buitres o Zopilotes.

Gracias a Svbony Birding por este paquete misterio y esta sorpresa. El Micro Telescopio SV410 es perfecto para la observación de aves en ambientes semicerrados como el Parque Bicentenario donde tuve la oportunidad de probarlo y muy pronto podran ver las bellezas aladas que nos admiramos con tanto detalle y color gracias a nuestro nuevo Micro Telescopio SV410.

Love is in the air these weeks!!!!!! Literally!! This confident Bronzed Cowbird male has already chosen his own chick and is decided to display his best wing flaps. However, She seems to be more interested in something else.
