However, it is only a short taxi ride away from the airport where most travelers will arrive at – better to see birds instead of just eating fast food while waiting for a connecting flight. That is mainly the Philippines, as indicated by the species name lucionensis (Luzon is the Philippines’ biggest island).

Mid-May to Mid-Jun is the best time to see some of the most exciting species here, as this is the prime breeding time. For another species, the Firethroat , it meant I only got acceptable views rather than the really good ones reportedly possible a few weeks earlier.

Every part of the world has it’s suite of parking lot staples, those urbanish species that seem to prefer to linger about humanity subsisting in no small amount to the magnanimity, or more likely the laziness, of humankind. And in parts of the Rockies, Clark’s Nutcracker reigns supreme.

Have you ever enjoyed one of those brilliant birding expeditions, the outing where every target species takes its cue with machine precision?

What to say?

The Common Pochard is listed as Vulnerable – not because it is particularly rare, but because of the rapid decline in its numbers (a decline of 50% within 10 years means a species is listed as Vulnerable – and a 50% loss in 10 years sounds quite dramatic and frightening indeed). Like fast food, but free and likely more healthy.

My hosts could confidently tick off the species on their life list. We got at least three sub-species but the highlight was a Wilson’s Snipe we flushed. We walked through the deep snow – no shoveling park rangers here – and got onto a flock of Red Crossbills almost immediately. I am not a fan of American restaurants.
