There was a Short-toed Eagle ahead, taking flight to be replaced by another ST Eagle. A few Lesser Kestrels by the dyke wall, then a Black-eared Wheatear at some cattle fencing. What is killing them? Immediately north of it I found another Short-toed Eagle and a very cooperative close-range Long-legged Buzzard.

The Cherokee nation called them “Peace Eagles” owing to the fact that they never killed a living thing – and also that they tended to show up in numbers after battled when peace treaties were being signed, though admittedly that may have been for a slightly more macabre reason.

Eagle-eyed Pat spotted a Lesser Black-backed Gull in nonbreeding plumage and other birders that week noted a Thayer’s Gull (which we may have seen too–I mean, who expects Iceland Gull in April?). Multitudes, hundreds of Brown Pelicans and Terns–Least, Common, Foster’s, Sandwich, Royal, and Caspian.

Anyone with more than a couple of hours to kill could easily make a quick birding foray out from the airport. There is always the chance of an over-flying raptor with Brahminy Kite and White-bellied Sea-eagle commonly seen. My personal list for Paser Ris runs to 75 birds over 15 visits that average out at around 25 species per outing.
