Whether a birder is eager for eyefulls of common species or needs to test the birding Zen and. Those happened in the form of a visit to Cope’s where we were treated to a nice selection of lowland species at close focus length in Jose’s birding oasis followed by soul satisfying views of roosting Spectacled and Crested Owls.

There’s always the chance that your trip might coincide with a tropical storm but that doesn’t happen every year and when it does, it’s only for a few days or maybe a week (and also gives you the chance to put your waterproof optics to the test).

Many gringos make their way to Baja California Sur every year, although the majority are probably heading to Cabo San Lucas to party and test the human limit of tequila endurance. Gray Thrashers are not as conspicuous as the hummingbirds, but should not be difficult to find in the right places. Many migrants winter in the area.

I was ecstatic when we found two giraffes by the side of the road “necking”, which I found out is a male test of strength and dominance, not a romantic entanglement. This immature Verreaux’s Eagle-owl was one of the first birds I saw at Kruger, on the introductory afternoon ride through the park.
