NOVEMBER 14, 2014

'In September, I had the fantastic opportunity to travel to an increasingly popular destination for birding: Honduras. Chris Lotz, the owner of the international bird tour company Birding Ecotours , invited me to join him on a familiarization trip that included several highland sites as well as Pico Bonito Lodge. In this first installment, I will focus on my impressions and experiences in the highlands portion of our tour.

'I saw that we had snow in the forecast yesterday, so I set up our time lapse camera just for fun to capture it. If you look closely you will see a few birds too, small and large. The little birds are called juncos, and they love to come eat our walnuts. We also get a few woodpeckers, and pigeons. You will see both juncos and pigeons in the video. Note, this video has no sound.

'Yesterday I saw a Dark-eyed Junco while I was walking my dog. It was the Slate-colored form, of course. No more candybox Juncos for me, nor Cassin’s Finches , nor Bohemian Waxwings , nor Black-billed Magpies , nor confiding Red-breasted Nuthatches alighting on me as I fill the feeder. No feeder at all, in fact, no American Goldfinch , no Song Sparrows even unless I go looking for them.

'Watching African Skimmers and a gorgeous sunset makes a person most thankful. As we hurtle ever closer to the American day of thanks, I’m struck by the realization that we don’t begin celebrating this holiday early like we do Christmas or Halloween. That’s a shame, since gratitude is far more becoming, not to mention spiritually enriching, that the greed or gluttony attached to most observances (not that I’m against those either.
