Admittedly this has never crossed my mind as being remotely interesting, young birds are generally awkward things, not yet fitting into the sleek and streamlined expectation of the dictionary definition of “bird” Furthermore, thrushes are often underappreciated creatures on their own.

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. Motmots definitely make up one of the bird world’s glamour families. Western Mexico offers only one, the endemic Russet-crowned Motmot.

Plus, laziness kicks in pretty often and a 20 minute drive to see relatively rare birds like Nacunda Nighthawks and Glossy Ibises is a definite no-brainer. But this experience which I’m about to relate to you was much more significant than chasing a rarity. You can still check the spoonbill out in all its innocence here.

It is my opinion from personal experience that there is really no point in buying the BTX without the extender. It is definitely the most comfortable scope that I have ever looked through. With the use of the ME 1.7x Nearly all extenders affect the quality of the image viewed. This one doesn’t. Just lock it in and leave it there.

The first snipe I ever saw was on Tobago, a definite Wilson’s Snipe. Such was the unlikeliness of a definitive ID. The generally accepted rules were: any snipe found between 1st May and 31st July on Trinidad is definitely a South American Snipe , any snipe found outside of that time period could be either species.

I am still tired from the long drive, but it was great to play with the very best toys for birders, to be able to share experiences and to ask the factory staff all sorts of silly questions. You know that classical definition of what separates men from boys? impressive for Central Europe. Merely the price of their toys.

Wise, mature trees, mossy buttress roots plunging into dark, moist soil, and massive broad leaves nodding to and fro in refreshing air begets a meditative and reverential experience. Some movement overhead was definitely a parrot – this was the first of several Red-necked Parrots that we would encounter throughout the day.

Wood-Wrens, which like to live close to the ground in deep brush, definitely follow this rule; they are not at all colorful, but their song sure does ring. You truly cannot experience the Gray-barred Wren without hearing the raucous calls shared among group members of this highly-social species.

Apart from helping share this much-needed information, it’s a concrete way they can help, and it can be such an amazing learning experience going through the process of a Birdability Site Review. That is definitely not our aim. A lot of non-disabled birders get really excited about the Birdability Map. Is there a conflict?

Birders are almost by definition interesting and interested people, and those interests—even if they don’t push birding completely out of mind—range widely. But we frame these birding highlights within a broader, more comprehensive experience, visiting world-class museums, archaeological sites, and cultural landmarks.

Perhaps those people have never had to personally experience increasingly erratic climate patterns. And that this one should choose to spend at least 20 minutes far from the reeds that usually hide it was a new experience for all of us.

And if I had known about it before my friend found it for me, the spectacular Black-collared Hawk would definitely have also been on my bucket list.

I was definitely not a huge fan of running – still am not to this very day. I walked over to a thick mango tree and sure enough, it flew out, majestic, broad, silent wings spread wide – and just like the Mottled Owl experience I described earlier – eyes fixated on me. He took a few pictures and moved on.

According to HubSpot’s definition , transactional selling involves one-off sales that don’t usually involve strong relationship building. They offer easy ways to make the experience more personal, and valuable, to the buyer. What is transactional selling? Even if you haven’t heard the term, you’ve encountered this style.

This past January, however, my experience was even better. It definitely happens.) Most years, a day in January of serious birding around Lake Cuitzeo can give me around 85 species.

It was an invigorating experience and an example of my favorite kind of birding, that of the spectacle. After all, it’s not every day that you more than double the all time high count for a species in your home county, and it is definitely not every day that you get to witness a spectacle like a 12,000-strong gannet feeding frenzy!
