TEST 
10,000 Birds

I saw a few shorebirds myself this weekend, but was more amused by a House Sparrow. As soon as the test began, so did the monotonous cheeping. I tracked the call to an obstructed corner of the room and encouraged the kids to tune out the endless plaintive cry of what I guessed to be a juvenile House Sparrow.

Eurasian Tree Sparrows frequently find themselves out in the wild without a glass to drink from. They also passed the marshmallow test , a test in which there is a reward for resisting the temptation to eat a treat immediately (if the bird waits, it gets a bigger or better treat than if it eats the initially offered treat instantly).

Where can I see Cabanis’s Ground-Sparrow followed by a fantastic meal ? I savor the timeless experience of scanning these tropical waves for storm-petrels and lost jaegers. This odd nocturnal creature is around the same size as a Barred Owl. What has Chambito been seeing in Cano Negro? How about sites for Snowcap ?

The experience is one of the ornithological highlights in the world. It is, as the Tambopata research website says: …a unique forest environment, with the highest concentrations of avian clay licks in the world. A range of animals come to satisfy their need for salt or the soothing effects of the clay along the river banks of the region.
