[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note [Spanish]
Continuing with the series of photos of my visit to the Ecological Reserve Costanera Sur (them memory that at this time of the year, here dawn to 8 A.M., hour in which enters to the same one, and that the temperature as soon as reaches 3ºC (37ºF), I expose here an image of the national bird of Argentina.

The red hornero (Furnarius rufus) is a likeable bird, that does not fear to the neighborhoods of the man. It always walks in pair and one settles the same in a telephone post that in the cornice of one house. Their flights are, generally around the nest, to look for materials for their construction or food for pigeons, never moves away, in the ground walks to the small jumps.

It measures between seventeen and twenty-two centimeters in length and weighs about seventy and five grams. Their wings short and are cleared; it has long tail and general tip in more length than the head; they present a nervous and slight behavior. Its color is brown, with reddish neck, white throat, sure brown chest whitish belly and reddish tail.

They are great insectivora, they look for its Earth food, between the leaves or in the plowed fields. They eat insects mainly: butterflies and larvae of butterflies, ants, spiders, worms, lobsters, escarabajos, this way collaborate with the agriculturist, since they eliminate the insects detrimental for the plants and add to this regime: seeds, berries and, sometimes, I very bring forth vegetables to tier to us. They build his nest in land or the proximity of the ground, between the shrubs or in posts of fencings.

In the image, a specimen can be seen feeding itself on the seeds of the tree, that in addition give that so particular tonality him, between shades of seeds and of the little existing foliage.

It will continue...

good capture of the feeding moment! it would be better if the shadows falling on the bird could be eliminated and so the colors of the bird could be more vivid. thanks for the note..

Great picture, I like the subject here, good crisp shot of the bird and the fruit too in its bed, nice work, the surrounding of fruit here is very nice too

Well done

Well done! Great moment and it all looks superb. I like the dappled shadows on the bird. The reds and yellows contrast very well with the blue of the sky.

Great picture of this bird. A real life picture in the light of the morning.
Well done Ricardo.

First, thanks very much to put me in your favorite and for your last critique...

This picture is also very nice and you framed very well this bird. Very nice colors too with nice shadows on the bird and of course very good to catch ihim with the food in his nozzle! Bravo!

Very nice picture Richardo. You captured this one in a very nice situation with the berry in the beak. Colours are great as well as the composition.

¿Fue difícil fotografiarlo? Los pájaros están siempre en movimiento, y más cuando son un tanto pequeños. ¿De qué tamaño es este? Justo el color de las ramas combina con el plumaje. ¿El sol le caí de costado y por eso son esas manchas oscuras en el pecho o es que siempre es así, con manchas oscuras? El cielo azul ayuda aquí ya que no distrae con nubes, por ejemplo.

Hola Ricardo captaste de una manera muy hermosa este momento del día del pájaro, pensando un poco, he tenido pocas oportunidades de ver así a un pájaro alimentarse, estoy imaginando cuántas semillas fueron su desayuno? estuviste suficiente tiempo con él como para apreciar esto?, solo es curiosidad: La composición es hermosa, finamente enmarcada con semillas doradas y con un hermoso cielo azul azul, el plumaje del ave parece camuflajearse con las sombras de las semillas y las ramas del árbol. Me gusta la iluminación suave en la parte inferior del pico y en el comienzo de él. La nota es muy interesante también. Saludos Cordiales, que disfrutes de una excelente noche. *Ninfa Urania*

Nice to see this "winter" shot - I seams this photo could be taken here as well - but not with this kind of bird - You captured the colours very well - great pose - I like it. Thanks Ricardo.

Very nice composition. This is very well framed, the light is beautiful, warm, colour are very nice, excellent sharpness, a wonderful catch. Congratulations Ricardo.

Me gusta la composicion y los colores intensos.

Amazing shot Ricardo! At the right moment captured! Very clean shot with a beautiful colours of the sky, bird, tree and fruit.
I like also frame in 3D-way. Very well done.
Very useful note too.
Regards, Don.

Ricardo, salvo engano, vi uma foto de um pássaro da mesma espécie em TN.

Bela fotografia. Ao fundo, o céu. As cores do pássaro e dos frutos estão em sintonia. Momento raro, beleza rara.

Parabéns.
