Birdwatchers love making lists, with the year list one of the most important. In my younger days I always kept year lists: my best ever year was 1986, when I topped the 1,000 mark thanks to trips to Australia, Kenya and various European destinations. It’s a total I’ve never approached since, which might explain why in recent years I stopped counting.

“Stop paddling. Quiet now!” Hissed our guide as the canoe rounded a bend in the blackwaters canal which connects the Rio Napo with the oxbow lake where our lodge was located. Everything stopped.

We were in the remote Amazonian forests and not a sound was to be heard except for the rhythmical dripping of water from the raised paddles.

Like the recently posted entry on birding Kabul, this isn’t really much of a birding post – it features just two or three really bad (= taken with a mobile phone; = I do not really want these photos to be associated with me as a bird photographer at all bad) photos. So, be prepared to look at a few awful bird photos and quite a few somewhat better (but still taken with a mobile phone) photos of Afghanistan, and a bit of covert advertising at the end – or skip reading this post

As I mentioned last week, the world seems to have turned upside down lately, at least here in central Mexico. After a devastatingly dry summer (our rainy season), now we are having a surprisingly wet winter (our dry season). On Tuesday my closest birding buddies, and, of late, my regular companions, wanted to go down to Paso Ancho. This town is a thousand meters (three thousand feet) lower than Morelia, and in our state’s Tierra Caliente/Hot Country.
