There are a few places where that is especially obvious, and one of those is the town of Cape Coral, just north of Naples along the Gulf of Mexico. You can tell which abandoned lots host owls by a small roped off area with the tell-tale t-bars that the owls perch upon.

The species ranges north well into Canada in the summer months, but in the winter they make for the southern coasts or down to Mexico. They may gather in flocks of hundreds during their fall journey, abandoning their lonely summer habits. So the Hoary Bat is migratory.

But a Bewick’s Wren did build a nest, which it promptly abandoned before laying any eggs. In fact, they have risen to become the most active Nest Watching group in New Mexico (regardless of species), contributing 77% of the state’s data in 2018.”. So, how many chicks hatched in my two boxes? Others had more luck.

and Canada, it had apparently discovered an abandoned nest, on which it was clearly showing nesting behavior. So, as they say here in Mexico, we got out of bed on the right side! I’d would love to know if any of our readers have insight into the behavior of one Sora. Was it practicing?

When you are an American expatriate who lives, and birds, in Mexico, it is a topsy-turvy world. I have still seen each of these species out in the forest between two days and three weeks after they abandoned my yard. However, the platform did not allow me to include photos. That is a garden first!

Turns out he is a friend of the bride, and from Monterrey in Mexico. The site consists of the revitalised wastewater treatment ponds of an abandoned sugar mill with shrubs and small patches of forest. Even after having slowed down, I arrive at the ceremony with time to spare and in front of Mörarp’s quaint little church I meet Jesus.

It’s the only one in all of Mexico. Wander into a bit of abandoned second-growth forest. (It’s in San Miguel de Allende, and it’s lovely; I must write about it someday.) The nearest Audubon Club chapter? That would also be in San Miguel de Allende. One was in my own neighborhood, so I had already discovered it.

Had they been able to make the jawbone talk, no doubt its first words would be, “You can’t put a baby bird back in the nest, because the parents will smell your hands and abandon it.”. That’s why I can’t take owls to a lot of my education programs out here in New Mexico.”. Last year scientists in Ethiopia discovered the jawbone of a 2.8

I would have guessed it would be the first species to abandon this now-disturbed site. In Mexico they call the Ash-throated Flycatcher “Copetón Triste” , or Sad Crested-Bird; it’s mournful call distinguishes it from other nearly-identical flycatchers of the Myiarchus genus. But, thank God, it has not.

By the time that day rolled around, I had already seen 29 species in our yard and neighborhood, including a few surprises: an endemic Rufous-backed Robin , which is a rare visitor to my garden; a Violet-crowned Hummingbird , a species which I thought had abandoned our neighborhood years ago, but I now saw spending quality time in the crown of my Jacaranda (..)

After our brief trip thru the great state of Texas, we were headed back into New Mexico, a state I was quite excited to explore. I have been all around the western states, here and there, but never spent any time in New Mexico. Our next stop was another mutually agreed upon stop, Albuquerque New Mexico.

The vast majority of Baltimore Orioles that breed in North America return to the tropics between Mexico and northern South America for the cold half of the year. They are, for many birders in the eastern part of the continent, one of a short list of quintessential spring birds.

Whoever is in charge of names in the area had abandoned an unwise relationship with compound names ((meaning Redwinged Starlings were Red-winged Starlings again) and seemed to have shifted the names of lots of species around in the hopes of aligning them with the IOC (goodbye louries).
