Endemic. Thanks to Rene Valdes,www.birdpicsandmore.com, for tip about the place. Found a small flock along the road but they constantly kept a too large distance for pictures. How to solve that problem? You forget all your esperiences about not being possible to attract birds with playback in the middle of the day when you stand in a completely open and bare landscape. I turned it on and vupti, in a few seconds I had 5-10 sparrows close around me in the nearest cacti. I even had to back off a bit because of the focus limit of the camera. Endemic |
