Havana is a city where history, architecture and nature coexist in a unique way. Where biodiversity surprises us at every moment, demonstrating that wildlife thrives despite the urban environment.
Today I want to share with you some of my most recent photographs, which reflect the vibrant and colorful bird life in the capital of all Cubans.
🇺🇲Cuban Tody/🇨🇺Cartacuba
Todus multicolor
It is one of the most precious endemic species of the Cuban birds, which in spite of its colorfulness goes unnoticed by most of us, it feeds preferably on insects and its habitat is very varied.
🇺🇲Spotted Sandpiper/🇨🇺Zarapico Manchado Actitis macularius
Now it is the turn of the Spotted Sandpiper, a very restless bird that we can observe in the coastal areas of the city, it is migratory and comes from North America. Photographing them is a challenge, it requires a lot of patience and dedication.
🇺🇲Cuban Trogon/🇨🇺Tocororo
Priotelus temnurus
Of the most beautiful, the Cuban Trogon, its plumage in striking colors turned into a national bird, finding them can be complicated, but if you are in East Havana in the area of the Ecological Reserve La Coca, there you can observe them easily.
🇺🇲Red-legged Honeycreaper/🇨🇺Aparecido de Sandiego
Cyanerpes cyaneus
And not for being the last is the least important, I refer to the Red-legged Honeycreaper, one of the most elusive that we can find, although if we know where they usually go to feed we can see them easily.
Birds with their ability to adapt even in hostile environments show us that they always find ways to coexist, but it is our responsibility to protect green spaces and wildlife in our cities.
Have you had the opportunity to observe birds in your city? I would love to read your comments?

You're welcome.

Thank you very much, photography is really my passion and I enjoy it very much.
I was really surprised because I have never seen either a Cartacuba or a Tocororo in Havana... 🤔 Wow... the photos are beautiful. 👀
Thanks, yes they are quite common in Havana, you just have to look for them in the right places, given the conditions of vegetation and food. The city is full of beautiful birds.
I hope you invite me to go bird watching. 😇
Excelentes fotos, muy profesional, vi en tu presentación que usas una cámara Bridge de Sony, que modelo es?
Esa cámara la utilizas para hacer esas impresionantes fotos
Muchas gracias amigo, la cámara que tengo en la foto de presentación fue la primera que tuve, muy buena que salió, ya después pasé a Nikon y tengo una D200, un poco antigua pero un tanque de guerra para el tipo de fotografía que hago dada las condición del campo. Saludos
Beautiful post my friend...you had done a great work with your fotos! un consejo, si usas un traductor de idiomas al final pones : Traducido con....

Bellísimas fotos, llenas de vida, color y nitidez que muestran la naturaleza cubana. Quisiera saber donde trabaja o si esta en algún programa relacionado a esto, porque adoro las fotos de paisaje y de animales.
Muchas gracias, estoy feliz porque le hayan gustado mis fotos,al principio comenzó como un hobby pero ya después me fui integrando a algunos proyectos investigativos para el estudio de las aves y trabajos de campo en diferentes zonas de Cuba, se ha convertido en parte esencial de mi vida y una bella pasión, la fotografía de naturaleza nos llena de vida, muchas gracias y saludos 🤗
