I truly do hope I am not tiring 10,000 Birds’ readers too much with my obsession with Michoacán’s ongoing drought, the disappearance of Lake Cuitzeo (Mexico’s 2nd largest lake, in normal years), and our own micro-endemic Black-polled Yellowthroat. But obsessed I am. And it brought friends.

Here in the highlands of central Mexico, we can see (rather easily, as I mentioned above) two trogons: the Mountain Trogon , and the Elegant Trogon.

In a little less than two weeks my family and I will be enjoying a long weekend on the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. Having never birded in Mexico at all I was initially concerned about identifying the myriad species that can be seen. Hopefully, I’ll do better than 85% correct when I’m in Mexico.

In other words, eBird is effectively a complete history of my birding experiences. Birding trips to Florida , New Mexico , and Texas are obvious too. Moreover, it contributes to science (and economics ) and the price is right. A checklist from Rock Creek Park in Washington D.C. was good for 11 lifers. Our honeymoon in the U.S

The Lab also acts as the heart and soul for the very popular (and often addictive) citizen science gem known as eBird. It helped that I had formulated a worthy itinerary based on far too many calculations that factored in past experiences, logistics, and eBird data. Costa Rica is one of those places.

and also Modern Iraq, Egypt, Albania, Mexico, Poland and the Philippines. Cocker put out a call for people’s personal experiences with birds and people responded, over 600 people, most of who are credited in the Acknowledgements section. Cocker focuses on the love-hate relationship we have with raptors.
