We were happy to experience three birds of prey on this jaunt. A Roadside Hawk perched on a post next to, of course, a road. There is also a family of Barn Owls on the premises, and I have briefly seen the largest of them (enormous!) And two Ferruginous Pygmy-Owls toot-toot-tooted from the brush. flying by at night.

As I have mentioned repeatedly over the past months, life this spring has gone topsy-turvy in central Mexico, as we experience what has certainly been one of our driest years in history. Of course, Paso Ancho is also a hotspot for many other beautiful species and endemics.

Several have stayed in our home, and of course, invited us to their own homes. This lifer for both of us would have been our undisputed peak experience for the outing, if it had not been for the majestic sight of a pair of Great Swallow-tailed Swifts that flew near us at eye level. But, of course, I wanted more.

It is a bit of an outsider in the bulbul family, being only one of two bulbuls in the genus Spizixos (“chirping bulbul” – a bit strange as many other bulbuls including the omnipresent Light-vented Bulbul also chirp a lot). The Collared Finchbill is a bulbul, even though the name does not state this directly.

The best test of that proposition, of course, is to repeat it to any one of the hundreds of thousands of birders who have, say, a family. But we frame these birding highlights within a broader, more comprehensive experience, visiting world-class museums, archaeological sites, and cultural landmarks.

Many a birder with years of experience in the Neotropical region has never ever seen or heard an RVG. Speaking of cats, I am reminded of an experience a co-worker of mine had while surveying birds years ago in Washington state. He was of course happily flabbergasted. It was a ground-cuckoo family and they weren’t even shy!

It’s a rush any new birder experiences: that of every species being a lifer. Once you’ve been around the birding block a few years, your appreciation for the lifer experience deepens greatly. Which is why we all eventually turn to the one way to combine old-birder experience with new-birder opportunities: travel.

” Of course, I birded every moment I could. A surplus of quality birding experiences kept me from making my reports, which is embarrassing. I will start by telling you about encounters in Turkey with two special bird families. I really should have encountered these families in Mexico, as they both occur here.

Even though this is no challenge at all, of course. A Streak-breasted Scimitar Babbler made an early experience. Looks quite different from the Eurasian Jay I have seen in Germany, which I found is par for the course for this bird – it apparently has 8 races and 33 subspecies. So, what was there to see? Always nice to see.

Where a birder goes in the Caribbean determines which birds are seen including toy-like todies, Carib hummingbirds, cool pigeons, quail-doves, unique avian families and outrageous woodpeckers.

One particular family of owls had particularly evaded me. Two Great Horned Owl chicks had successfully fledged from Veteran’s Park at Baywalk , a small park that was once a three-hole golf course on Okaloosa Island. Almost the entire family had us surrounded. Until this past Sunday. Veteran’s Park at Baywalk.

But of course, it is also nice to remember past birding trips. After my Przevalski experience, I now look up such names to check whether the person the bird is named after has made similar racist statements, or even done worse things. I was vaguely curious about the family name mousebird. Or they are afraid of flying.

While I don’t have a lot of experience with tropical terns, I believe that narrows it down to Sandwich Tern ( Thalasseus sandvicensis ), a bird that – while still quite rare in the Northeast – seems to be occurring with greater frequency , along with an increasingly northward incursion of Royal Terns ( Thalasseus maximus ).
