Costa Rica is more than cloud forest with mega worthy quetzals, more than rainforest with fancy Keel-billed Toucans and luscious Green Honeycreepers. Those are certainly two of several birdy habitats in this bio-wonderland. They are places where we invest most of our birding time and rightly so; mature tropical forests are where we find the highest number of species.

Hedgerows are living fences and windbreaks, lines of green space that bisect fields and pastures. They can’t provide the same ecosystem value as natural forest and woodland but in places intensely modifed by people, hedges are vital sanctuaries for birds and other wildlife. In Costa Rica, we have those living fences, these planted rivulets of green.

For those who have been following my posts here, some months ago I swapped islands and moved to Tobago. Having spent all my life in Trinidad, it was the first time I would be stationed away from the island of my birth. Living on a different island is interesting and exciting – but what I had been anticipating greatly was the return. What would it be like?

The exploration of triads within the avifauna of Trinidad and Tobago has taken me through various families and species groups on this blog. It’s taken a life of its own to be honest. While this post isn’t entirely following that trend, it loosely is. On the smaller island of Tobago there are three species of woodpeckers and three species of woodcreepers – one of each is found on Tobago but not Trinidad.

I went absolutely crazy a couple of weeks ago. Since my botanist friend Nacho (Ignacio) was on vacation, I did back-to-back major birding outings with him. As it happens, I had not gone out at all the week before, so I gave myself special permission. Nacho is a new birder, and I am still in the process of showing him my best spots. He joined the exclusive club of birders who have seen the Sinaloa Martin the first day.

I was looking for a title for this third part of a blog post on the birds of Baihualing, and thought that the made-up term “Trequel” would sound fitting. Imagine my surprise when I (just to be safe) googled trequel and found that the word actually exists and means exactly what one would think it means – the third part of a series. There goes my claim to fame as an inventor of new words.

In Broome, one of the most reliable places to observe Royal Spoonbills is from the Broome Poo Ponds Barndarlmada Hut. The Royal Spoonbills roost inside the fence when they are not feeding on the mudflats of Roebuck Bay. For part of the year we can’t access the local ephemeral lakes due to the land being flooded, but now we can go to them it is always rewarding to see what is there.

Shanghai’s Chongming Island is a well-known destination for birders, and will probably become even more important given the continued destruction of Nanhui. Yet it is generally recommended to go there in winter. In this post, I want to show that going there in summer may also be worth it. One strange thing about Chongming is the inevitable presence of people fishing.

eBird Trip Reports were introduced relatively recently, in December 2021. A Trip Report is a way to separate out a group of checklists within certain dates to obtain a comprehensive single-page summary, including the number of checklists submitted, number of species observed, number of lifers, and a map. I have found Trip Reports a useful way to organize checklists from birding trips.

Well, it is that time of year again and shorebirds are breeding. Hopefully all of the migratory shorebirds that left Roebuck Bay earlier this year have been successful at breeding in the Northern Hemisphere and will soon be heading back to our shores. Meanwhile, here in Broome our resident Pied Oystercatchers have been busy attempting to breed too. The header photo shows the brighter colour of the legs and bills of the Pied Oystercatchers during the breeding season.

Bateleur is a very small camp in the Kruger Park – a bit remote, but worth visiting. The one bird I did not see here, however, was the Bateleur Eagle … One highlight in the area is the Saddle-billed Stork , likely to be the tallest species in the stork family. This bird is represented in an ancient Egyptian hieroglyph. In order to avoid violating any copyright, I redrew this from an online source.

As I have commented in previous posts here, I consider myself very fortunate to have a good (and still increasing) number of highly-qualified birders with whom I can consult and, sometimes, bird. All are Mexican. Most, but not all, live outside of Morelia, but somehow we manage to get together — or I consult with them online. Quite a few of them are biologists.

It really is starting to feel like Broome is going to break a few winter low temperature records this year. Since we moved here in 1999 we have never needed to wear socks for so many days in a row in the early hours. We have had to drag out the winter clothes we normally reserve for trips interstate, inland in winter or overseas! We are not letting the cold weather deter us from going on an early morning walk, but not too early-the sun needs to be up and providing some warmth!

As I mentioned last week, upon my return last month from California, where I had birded a couple of hours each day, I was ready for a bit of a break. Oh, no, I didn’t stop birding entirely. That would be absolutely crazy. But I did pick easier targets during the first two weeks. My first post-trip outing was my least ambitious: I went to the natural area that begins just on the other side of the neighborhood in which we live, Los Filtros Viejos Canyon.

Sacred Kingfishers are observed more easily around the townsite of Broome during our winter months and I have been observing them close to home for a few weeks now. We have been lucky enough to have one in our garden over the last few days and it carefully balanced on our pretend power line. At the moment we are still experiencing cold chilly mornings with a requirement to wear socks for a change!

According to a bird guide published in 1911, “Competent authorities have proposed to divide the world, biologically, into two parts – Australia and the rest of the world, and they have considered Australia the more interesting part.” (quoted from Tim Low’s book “The Origin of Song”). So, even though this is a bit much, it seems justification enough to continue this series of blog posts – particularly as I wrote this series under lockdown in Shanghai, with noth

Well, it was a good run… I managed to write four weekly posts about the five days I spent in California last month. Which shows just how desperate I was to write about somewhere, anywhere, other than the area around my home, which I had not been able to leave for more than two years. Still, all good things come to an end. And if you must return to the same old, same old, it’s not bad if that same old can be central Mexico.
