This one, seen at Lake Cuitzeo in central Mexico, makes me think of a giraffe wearing a tuxedo: Now, most of the time this middling photographer can only hope to get a clear photo of a bird, not too far away, and at a good angle. One heron had the good sense to abandon his quest quickly. No, these are not time-lapse photographs.

So right from the beginning, none of this makes any sense. That’s why I can’t take owls to a lot of my education programs out here in New Mexico.”.

The vast majority of Baltimore Orioles that breed in North America return to the tropics between Mexico and northern South America for the cold half of the year. Wicked, right?

and Canada, it had apparently discovered an abandoned nest, on which it was clearly showing nesting behavior. So, as they say here in Mexico, we got out of bed on the right side! I’d would love to know if any of our readers have insight into the behavior of one Sora. Was it practicing?
