Wicked, right?

I’m happier now that I’ve added Short-eared Owl , never an easy sighting for me. As you can see from the feature pic, my lousy owl luck precluded me from getting too close to one of these crepuscular hunters. If you’ve blogged about your weekend experience, you should include a link in your comment.

The following examples are some of the birding experience that awaits on Poas Volcano, Costa Rica: The Voices of Understory Birds. Keep watching and more will appear, maybe a flock of high flying Barred Parakeets , maybe even the hidden bird hunter of the dark woods, the Costa Rican Pygmy-Owl.

They really appeared to enjoy this, because as soon as they swam back to the rocks they would line up again to repeat the experience.

Apparently in the past some birders and photographers had been not so polite in their behavior when a Northern Hawk Owl had been in the vicinity, and when this bird showed up the local law enforcement did not want it made public.

The birds that I have experience with, like some of the raptors, wading birds, shorebirds, and tanagers, are all true-to-life in color, shape, and proportions to say nothing of being pretty paintings, if slightly sterile on the standard plain white background. of species of bird that birders the world over desperately want to experience.

As I explained to my nephews when they were younger, “The Burrowing Owls don’t think we’re their friends. People on one side of the rope, owls on the other.” Substitute Snowy Owl here if you’d like the modern version). Perhaps it comes from keeping a conscious distance while I observe them.

I was smart enough to chase a Snowy Owl at Sodus Point. The very handsome bird wasn’t hanging out where expected, but I was lucky enough to spy it chilling (literally) on an ice-encrusted pier, unperturbed by the duck hunters that chased everything else away! Make smart choices, people! What was your best bird of the weekend?

Barn Swallows are a bit unhappy with their image as restless aerial hunters and would like to gain a more stately and dignified profile. In conclusion, an experience that will put me off buying anything from that company ever. The rather drab-looking female can only look colorful by grabbing some colorful insects.

From what I’ve been hearing, sport hunters are chomping at the bit to also return to the forest in droves. During a two-year long moratorium on hunting in T&T, I had some of the most incredible birding experiences. A pair of Ferruginous Pygmy-Owls called to each other, driving the passerine population into a panic.

Laughing Owl, 1909, New Zealand, photo taken by Cuthbert and Oliver Parr, pp. The Laughing Owl of New Zealand exhibited an apparent lack of fear of strangers and a propensity to spend time on the ground, making it easy pickings for introduced predators. Their photos are the only known ones taken of the owl in the wild.

Considering the bird survived a season in an area saturated with hunters and birds of prey, this facemelting rarity deserves our respect. It was a heart-pounding scene straight out of Jurassic Park, an odd experience for a laid-back pursuit like birding. I wrote about the experience here. Secondly, well just look at it.

I’m to the point that I wish all the Snowy Owls in the US this winter would head back north. There’s been some confusing info because Project SNOWStorm also captured and put a transmitter on a first winter female Snowy Owl around the same time in the same area. As Tracey Ullman said at the end of her show, “Go home!

During the filming of this production, I got to experience “dirt hawking&#. These desert inhabitants are waking up, whilst others, like a pair of diminutive Elf Owls, are settling down after a night of reveling. But what really strikes me is the smell – fresh, clean and without comparison.
