Very early in the year, I wrote a post on this blog about what I thought was a strong contender for BOTY (Bird of the Year) here in Trinidad & Tobago. Birds have wings, right? It was on one of my nemesis birds, one which I have eventually gone on to see and hear several times since. Is it possible ? Certainly, anything is possible.

Lesser Scaup has only a slight black tip to the beak, while this bird had a clear black band.

One of the minor challenges of writing a blog post for 10,000 Birds is to come up with a title. However, having seen these birds in Shanghai in the past week or so, capitalism does not seem to sound right. I promise the blog post will not again refer to socialism. Why can`t you just all look in the right direction?
