Then, I was not sure whether this was the right thing to do. Some other members of the shrike family were a bit less testosterone-driven at Nanhui – like this Bull-headed Shrike … … this rather attractive-looking Tiger Shrike … … or one of the many Brown Shrikes passing through Nanhui on migration.
We got particularly great looks at Guira Cuckoo at Pousada Piuval, a resort that is also a cattle ranch; they were active all day, even after many of the birds that gathered in the early morning dispersed, often whistling loudly from the fence posts. Favorite Woodpecker: This is a toughie.
Although a lot of beautiful rainforest was replaced by bananas, cattle pasture, and other ag-lands many years ago, at least we can still enjoy great birding at a number of sites, most of which are easily accessible including Sarapiqui, the most visited site in the lowlands north of San Jose.
The path along the right (east) bank of the river leads along a cycle path with Asian Koels , Yellow-vented Bulbuls , Laced Woodpeckers and Oriental Magpie Robins all likely. My personal list for Paser Ris runs to 75 birds over 15 visits that average out at around 25 species per outing. You may also find familiar faces.
In the meantime, I’m still going to keep a year list and maintain said list right here at this post. Bare-throated Tiger-Heron – Tigrisoma mexicanum; Sarapiqui, 8-Jan. Rufescent Tiger-Heron – Tigrisoma lineatum; Tirimbina, 2-Jan. Cattle Egret – Bubulcus ibis; Sarapiqui, 2-Jan.
When there are no animals around to sit on, Cattle Egrets sometimes sit on trees, even though they frequently b h about the trees’ low speed and inability to stir up insects. When Cattle Egrets go to the local discotheque, they tend to overdo their makeup a bit. It is sometimes necessary to find food though.
So, I birded India, land of Indian Peafowl , Saag Paneer (my favorite Indian dish) and Tigers. Well, they were all memorable, but these two involve subjects people have asked about without fail—the Taj Mahal and Tigers. Target: Tigers. Our local Ranthambhore guide told us that a tiger had been located on our route.
In the past I have attributed some of this conflict to differences between the conservation mindset and that of animal rights/animal welfare. It’s all very well to advocate the should that tigers should not be poached from a reserve in India. Perhaps it would be better to move the tigers to that bigger reserve, or maybe a zoo.
Black-bellied Whistling-Ducks , Muscovy Ducks and Blue-winged Teals were around us, together with Green , Great and Little Blue Herons , Cattle and Great White Egrets , Black-crowned and Yellow-crowned Night-Herons , plus one locally rare Pinnated Bittern in the floating vegetation, as well as several dozen Neotropical Cormorants.
Watch out for Tom during October to see this anomaly put right. Fasciated Tiger-Heron – Tigrisoma fasciatum. Cattle Tyrant – Machetornis rixosa. Bare-throated Tiger-Heron – Tigrisoma mexicanum. Rufescent Tiger-Heron – Tigrisoma lineatum. Cattle Egret – Bubulcus ibis.
This year the big prize must go to Tom who has pushed himself, right to the wire to acheive a magnificent score for a self-funded, wife-organised, wife-sponsored Little Big Year , accounting for 57% of the total. Rufescent Tiger-Heron – Tigrisoma lineatum. Fasciated Tiger-Heron – Tigrisoma fasciatum. 13 Jan 2018.
Fasciated Tiger-Heron – Tigrisoma fasciatum. Bare-throated Tiger-Heron – Tigrisoma mexicanum. Cattle Egret – Bubulcus ibis. Note; The Megalomanagement reserve the right to refuse to gift prizes on the grounds that they are The Megalomanagement. Falcon State Park (LTC 084). 08 Feb 2020. 13 Feb 2020.
The third shrike seen in Shanghai this month was the Tiger Shrike. Heron/Egret medley (yes, I know medleys suck, but without the aural component, they might just be ok): Black-crowned Night-heron … … Cattle Egret … … Chinese Pond Heron. Even in my compound, they seem to have quite a stable presence now.
I hope he is right. Unfortunately, the house this nest is built on is about to be destroyed – no tenant rights for birds in China, I am afraid. I was a bit worried about the bird in the video but a friend assured me that birds do not get seasick. I wonder what Barn Swallows did before humans started building houses.
