Photography in the Rio Lagartos
Bio-Reserve
Roseate Spoonbill
During the past two years,I have returned to Rio Lagartos
whenever possible to continue photographing.The wide variety
of habitats,the large number of species that live and visit here and
the beauty of the surrounding area have drawn me back again and
again.
With the help of Diego Nuñez and the members of the "Rio Lagartos
Adventures" cooperative I have had the opportunity,not only to
photograph at close distance many of the birds here but also to learn
a great deal about them.
Diego and his group have a remarkable ability to find and identify
and then get the launches close enough for a chance at a good photo.
They understand the rythym of life here(Tides,seasons,time of day,
migratory patterns) and how it affects the wildlife. All of the photos
in this website except:fishing,snorkeling and populated beach scenes
were made with their help.If you are interested in photographing
here contact Diego to arrange a trip.The flamingo trips are an
opportunity to take some good shots but a trip designed for
Good shooting
