It’s a common call/email/text that most bird watchers get this time of year: “HELP! I just saved a baby bird! If it is an emergency and since I get calls and texts from all over the country (even a few out of the country), I direct people to Rehabber Search or Wildlife Rehabber. What do I do?

The proprietor of our ecolodge guides my small group of birders up a steep slope where we see, just at the point where a scope view deteriorates into pixels, a huge bird—a Chaco Eagle, also known as a Crowned Eagle—on a huge nest. Local farmers view it as a threat to domesticated wildlife.

Its crown was so thick, I could spot the movement, but only rarely the bird itself and never the whole bird, once it would be only its back, once its head, once just legs… slowly, I was putting this puzzle together.

I was in contact with a group of birders for whom I arranged and guided an annual tour to Africa. I must admit that I was astonished as I had never considered Ghana a potential birding destination, nor knew of any birders who had ever been there.
