10,000 Birds

NOVEMBER 16, 2016

For me, the southernmost end of the Baja, is all about the estuary in nearby San Jose Del Cabo. This very well managed waterway is chock full of birds, with a great array of permanent residents, as well as the many new migratory arrivals. A big surprise was a Northern Harrier hunting along the waterway.

Don’t you hate it when you cannot communicate while birding overseas? Having mobility issues, I still remember birding from a van along a rather productive dirt road in Costa Rica ( Broad-billed Motmot , Lineated Woodpecker , Cocoa Woodcreeper , etc.), His host’s house was smoke-blackened, everything but his shiny hunting rifles.

In Costa Rica, we don’t get many chances to chase birds. The same goes for other challenging resident birds like the Rufous-vented Ground-Cuckoo, Speckled Mourner, and Gray-headed Piprites. No matter where in the world we bird, it seems like the ones we twitch are the birds that aren’t supposed to be there.
