con Nikon TC-17E II, 1/2500 f/6.7, ISO 5000, hand held. Specie: Harpia harpyja

Harpy eagle – Aquila arpia Un rapace che sognavo di incontrare e fotografare da tantissimo tempo. La specie è in forte declino a causa della deforestazione e della caccia indiscriminata, che ne hanno drasticamente ridotto la popolazione. Anche i tempi di riproduzione sono estremamente lunghi: tra la deposizione dell'uovo e la crescita del piccolo trascorrono almeno quattro anni. Nell'immagine, il pulcino è costantemente vigilato dalla madre, che – salvo brevi voli – non lascia mai il nido incustodito. Al maschio spetta invece il compito di procurare il cibo, principalmente scimmie e bradipi, necessario a nutrire la femmina e a far crescere il nidiaceo. Raggiungere questo luogo remoto, nel Dipartimento del Meta in Colombia, è stata una vera avventura. Tra fuoristrada, attraversamenti di fiumi e un'infinita camminata, ho impiegato circa cinque ore per arrivare sulla montagna di fronte al nido, da cui, a una distanza di 55 metri, ho realizzato questo scatto. Il ritorno, sotto un vero diluvio, è stato meno faticoso grazie alla grande soddisfazione di aver immortalato la mitica aquila arpia e questo piccolo, che rappresenta una piccola ma grande speranza in un futuro pieno di incertezze.

Wonderful, congratulations! ... And thank you for the stories about your images... A curiosity about your shots (if you want to answer), do you use mobile hides? Do you have local contacts who give you preliminary indications on places and species? Thanks in any case...

Truly a beautiful image of a bird of prey so rare and very difficult to film. Bravo Alessandro

@ Globillo: of course I have local contacts, especially for species such as the very rare and difficult to find harpy. I often use them for mobile sheds, although in many parts of South America birds and animals in general are much more confident than in Italy.

Thank you very much and Maurizio and Enrico for the welcome appreciation :-)

One of the largest eagles in the world. Splendid image with the beautiful pose of the subject and the vision of the little pullet looking at its mother, many compliments.
