The work part of this trip included ten days spent in a suburban neighborhood of Marrakesh, Morocco. I was not able to get out and do much serious birding, but fortunately, in Morocco the birds come to you. But Morocco’s example is by far the “housiest” of them all. But it was close. Which I did, in Tabasco.

They are of the race islandica , a sub species of the nominate race, limosa. Rings are not the only way of marking birds, and with a number of species wing tags are more often used.
