Having said all that, I’ll give some context by showing, once again, an image I included in my post just last week: This photo, downloaded from a birders’ chat, shows Lake Cuitzeo on Monday, February 5th. Both species can theoretically breed in central Mexico, but in my experience are almost exclusively winter visitors.

They are of the race islandica , a sub species of the nominate race, limosa. Only when I downloaded my images did I spot the ring, which was clear and easy to read (2BAT). Rings are not the only way of marking birds, and with a number of species wing tags are more often used.

They found twenty-four species of ducks, geese, and swans, not bad for a half-day. He’d share a photo but his computer has died leaving him with a camera full of images and nothing to download them to.

While almost everything is up and running beautifully, I haven’t managed to figure out how to use the updated photo editor program I downloaded, or to transfer my old program to the new computer.

While plowing through my computer-hard-drive-clogging downloads of recent bird photographs from my various cameras and trying to delete the crummy and enhance (or even just keep track of) the keepers, I noticed that I had a long series of images of a displaying male Ruddy Duck. &# and be on my way looking for other birds.

Betty’s Bay was also a great place to see all of South Africa’s cormorant species, including the endangered Bank Cormorant. We observed far fewer Lesser Flamingos, a near-threatened species. It was the first of six bustard species I would see over the course of both trips. And then there were the Flamingos.
