One of those ornithologists is Jonathan Vargas, with whom I went birding on the first Monday of this month of May. Jonathan is originally from San Blas on Mexico’s west coast, a birder’s paradise I have yet to visit. But the past several years he has worked on several projects in Ensenada, just south of San Diego.

36, if my counting is right and there has been no very recent split or lump. Presumably, in the early days of ornithology, some scientists spent most of their time transcribing bird calls. The Black-faced Laughingthrush (Longcanggou, Sichuan) is a real beauty, though this photo does not fully do the bird justice.

At last count, there are 25 species of birds named for U.S. But only two states have more than one bird named for them: Hawaii and California, with nine and seven extant and eponymous species, respectively.

His love for birds and photography started at a young age. They’ve been traveling and bird blogging the world ever since! My first experience with this bird was near the fishing village of San Evaristo, on the Sea of Cortez, 50 miles north of La Paz, Mexico. In just the right light, they seem to glow.

Please understand, my eyes are always trained in a downward angle, not only to assure that I stay on the dry portion of the dock, nearly but all of the birds to be seen, are in close approximation to the water. Maybe a pet macaw or similar bird….but I had run across it in my guides, but they just do not do this bird justice!
