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.

I also hope to be able to photograph this mythical bird of prey in the future, even on you confirm the difficulty in the organization.
Many congratulations, bye Mario.

Exceptional photo, both in terms of technique and scientific value. I find the post a bit excessive next to the pullet
