But I do have rules about whether I can have said to have visited a country, ie does the country “count” which I have inherited from my family, particularly my Dad. Hippo and attending Cattle Egret. Generally, I need to have cleared immigration and/or spent some time in the country actually visiting it. Yellow-billed Stork.

We had as our goals spotting the reported Cattle Egret and Blue Grosbeaks and as many shorebirds as could be found in the flooded environs. Driving around the area checking every flooded field was not as productive as we had hoped though we did happen upon a previously reported family of Blue Grosbeak. We were there for the birds!

In fact, the very first person to guess, Nick , managed to get the third quiz picture correct by calling it a Bald Eagle. Of course, that was the easiest of the three because though the bird in the image is captive, a bird that was injured and can’t be returned to the wild, Bald Eagles do occur regularly and naturally in Queens.

Can the whole family live together in harmony during the school holidays? Cattle Tyrant – Machetornis rixosa. Bald Eagle – Haliaeetus leucocephalus. Cattle Egret – Bubulcus ibis. Is it wrong of me to go birding to get away from the kids now that they are at home all day? Bravo if you have.
