Birds!

Today I'm going to talk about birds and ornithology.

Since I study Geography I watch the environmental with a different perspective. But was the last year when my passion for watch birds and photograph started. I remember that I did a course of wetlands conservations and the knowledge about the wildlife and specially birds that I obtained was fundamental to open my eyes and say: this is wonderful, exiting, funny, and makes me know more about this interesting animals. The ornithology is very special, because the knowledge is contributed by amateurs working and many of these people become in a specialist through the practice of birds-watching.

This activity makes me value in a positive way the environmental and the habit of the birds, and obviously visit these places to take a good photograph of the species in every place that I visit. I usually go to places near of Santiago, in the foothills of Los Andes, or wetlands and lakes. Is in this type of places where the birds fly, eat and have its nests.

When I went to Uruguay, this summer, I make the most of time to watch bird and photograph it, and I can say that I attained very good shots.

When I go to my field trips I invite some friends and my girlfriend to visit these places and everybody enjoy, sharing, photographing, eating, laughing, etcetera.

The photograph is very important, and the drawing too, because you doesn’t affect the birds like the hunt in old times.

Anybody can go out and know about birds and wildlife, specially our native species, so, if you had the opportunity to do it, do it!

That’s all

Bye!
