Everyone,
As a bird, wildlife and stock photographer I would never send an image to a magazine in the US or anywhere in the world unless I had first discussed copyright, terms and received payment. It looks like this magazine is fishing for free images (a common practice) praying on the "WOW my picture is in a magazine in Italy" If you need an ego bump go for it, I wouldn't. There are plenty of fine images of JBWR they can purchase from stock agencies around the world.
