India, February 2013. These days, the species shares habitats with Tigers, Snow Leopard, Bears, etc. I am camping in the dry-deciduous jungle in eastern Maharashtra, near the geographic heart of India. It is February and evenings are cold. What are these ditches for,” I asked my friend Nitin Bhardwaj. Against snakes,” he said.

Baltimore Orioles are surprisingly slight when you get a look at them, but troupials are about the size of a jay, and with the bearing to go with it. Take a look at this sucker. For starters, it’s massive. There is no doubt about it, this is a striking bird. After all, there are likely none more oriole than Icterus icterus.

Am I willing to give up the field guide which bears the mud and dirt of so many falls on so many birding trips?

They didn’t say, when you hear owls calling from an Utcubamba roadside at noon, bear in mind that Rich Hoyer can produce a full range of geographically appropriate pygmy-owl vocalizations without so much as moving his lips. Read James’s account of the 2012 Birding Rally and Alfredo’s account of the 2013 Birding Rally.

I didn’t know much about Birds of Paradise either before 2013, when I accompanied a non-birding friend to a presentation at a local college, not really expecting much. Just think–you’ll be the only one in your group who will be able to differentiate a Cape display from a Circular Wings display!
