Torrents and Ducks
Living in the most powerful and fast flowing rivers in the Andes.
The water that flows from the ice-capped mountains runs off creating waterfalls and rivers, where torrent ducks live and thrive.

If you like Hummingbirds, you will definitely like Colombia.
Colombia its a remarkable country for Birding and Wildlife photography, but its especially good if you are after hummingbirds.
Colombia is a country of colors, aromas, flavors, friendly people, and above all, lots of wildlife.
Colombia is truly unique in one respect: it is very, very rich in life forms. In fact, it is considered among the world’s four richest countries in biological diversity.
This means that there are probably more animal and plant species here than in any other country on the planet regardless of size.
Since I started with wildlife photography, owls have fascinated me.
Just finding and observing these remarkable creatures during the night it’s pretty challenging, let alone to photograph them successfully.
Rare, stunningly beautiful, elusive, and limited to the remote and mist-draped cloud forests of Central America, this bird, with its shimmering golden green and blood-red feathers.
Towering mountains shaped by millions of year of glacial activity.
Incredible and hypnotic places, worlds of mist, mystery, and fire, haunted landscapes forever cloaked in fog and secrets.
A few weeks ago, American Bird Conservancy run a pretty nice article featuring one of my images of the Wood Thrush in the tropical Rainforest of Costa Rica.
A couple of weeks ago a few of my Resplendent Quetzals images appeared at the Augsburger Allgemeine, in the Mensch & Tier section. Maybe you saw it in person if you live in the south of Germany.
Raptors are among the most challenging birds to identify in the field due to their bewildering variability of plumage, flight silhouettes, and behavior. Raptors of Mexico and Central America is the first illustrated guide to the region’s 69 species of raptors, including vagrants.
It features 32 stunning color plates and 213 color photos and I was lucky to contribute with several of my own.
I had a project in mind at the start of this year to get some nice images of the elusive highlands cats of Costa Rica, like the Oncilla (Leopardus tigrinus) and the Margay (Leopardus wiedii).
But before setting up the “high-end” camera traps, I needed to know where to put them, where the animals where walking at night, how where they moving, etc. So I decided to found this out this year by setting up game cameras in the highlands of Costa Rica
