Did the Black-bellied Whistling Duck represent his family, “showing face” as we say here in the Caribbean? Animals obviously see death and experience it as we do, so the question is not one of if, but of how. Paying respects? Was it some sort of funeral?

The pay difference between genders, based on equivalent experience and education, is currently 16.4%. These team members often have children or other family members to care for. You want candidates to have a great experience, especially if there is a chance that you will hire them. It’s workers between the ages of 31 and 50.

The Wood-Rails like to move around in a very visible group. We were happy to experience three birds of prey on this jaunt. There is also a family of Barn Owls on the premises, and I have briefly seen the largest of them (enormous!) They are even more awkwardly cute than adult Jacanas. flying by at night.

Steve Howell has spent decades of experience in the field studying the birds of Belize, Costa Rica, and especially Mexico. Checklist for Belize lists 622 species in 76 families, of which 104 are rare or accidental and four introduced. I don’t think scientific artwork holds less value when used more than once.

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.

It had perhaps 20 or so species per plate, and a rather concise description on the opposite (left) page, but all maps were grouped in the end of the book, making it very impractical to check them and in order to use the checklist, you had to know what to expect and which species are unlikely. Subspecies are not included.

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.

Despite depicting 540 species/56 families, it is a lightweight book of 173 pages, easy to pack and carry. Strictly speaking, Mammals of South Asia is not a field guide, because some larger groups (rodents, bats) cannot be identified down to a species level following the concise descriptions and a single illustration.

I remember the guide on my first Kenyan birding safari remarking that “birding groups always see far more mammals than those who come just to see animals. It was an exciting experience, though a remarkably chilly one, as winters in Castile and León can be very cold. Why not the stoat family or the badger family?)

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.

We had a small group of three or four repeatedly calling and posturing as they moved through the canopy. A number of families exist on Trinidad but not Tobago. Most notably the family of New World Vultures. This bird forms part of the “trilling” group of subspecies, and some already refer to it as Trilling Gnatwren.

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 such special place is the Centro Manu, a small family run reserve that features several star bird species of Costa Rica’s Caribbean lowlands.

It all started in getting to photograph the Northern Pygmy-owls in Madera Canyon.
