Let me start off with being quite clear, there are no grizzly Bears on the Baja! All of which, was for one a one day shoot with the famed bears, as they dined on the fall salmon run.

Backlighting showed off the rusty crown of this Rusty-crowned Ground-Sparrow. Oddly enough, it is the Western Bluebird that bears the taxonomic name of Sialia mexicana ; but in my experience, the Eastern Bluebird ( Sialia sialia ) is much more common in most of Mexico. Eastern Bluebirds seemed to be everywhere.

I moved to Mexico in 1983 (and really should update my bio below). Migratory Lark Sparrows were everywhere. Angie, now my wife, moved here in 1985, and we married here two years later.

Four moments (and species) stand out in my own personal birding renaissance: I put an improvised birdbath in my yard to see if I can get the House Sparrows to stop munching on my lettuce plants, and a stunning Black-vented Oriole arrives to bathe. When it became too much to bear, I stayed away from Pino Real for 18 months.

Hecho en Mexico. What better way to start the year than with a visit to Mexico? They do bear some resemblance to Sage Thrashers , but have a much heavier, more sickle-shaped bill.

And while Dogwoods and Eastern Redbuds may be great options in Massachusetts, they won’t grow for me in Morelia, Mexico. Also, my all-too-abundant House Sparrows have learned to pull thin, flexible strips off of my bananas’ leaves, which they use to weave their nests. Unfortunately, they are all House Sparrows.
