Since then he has traveled the globe, his passion for birds growing with each new encounter. I caught traveler’s diarrhea four days ago in the jungle (Imodium to the rescue, but just barely). I had never been to Colombia before so didn’t know the best birding spots in the vicinity of the capital. Oh yeah, I almost forgot.

But what about birds? One enterprising New Orleans-area bird rescuer is doing just that. The bird was such a hit with residents that Kasia, who went on to found the rescue organization Kasia’s Ark Bird Rescue , continued the effort once she returned to New Orleans.

If you’ve had an encounter with a wild animal – a bird stunned by hitting a window, a fox hit by a car, or a family of raccoons unexpectedly found residing in your attic – you know how hard it can be to find help. Bird rehabbers receive calls for injured turtles; veterinarians are contacted about skunks in basements.

If you think it is rather pretentious to start a birding blog post with a Kafka story, I fully agree with you. Anyway, the story is not quite how I remembered it, to be honest, but fitting enough to describe the almost claustrophobic birding experience in ever-shrinking Nanhui. I just want to point out it could be much worse.

The Hornby’s storm-petrel ( Oceanodroma Hornbyi ) is a fairly common bird along the coast of Peru and Chile. Most, if not all pelagic birding trips in the region record this species, often by the hundreds. Whether these are transient birds flying to the Andean Mountains to their breeding grounds or back, is yet to be determined.
