The Trogon family (and order, since the order only includes one family) is quite widespread, being found in all the tropical (and some subtropical) regions of the world. The Elegant Trogon prefers drier habitats, with a predominance of oaks rather than conifers, and in my experience is much harder to find.

Before we got to our destination, I pulled the car over to investigate an almost deafening twittering. These irruptive visitors to T&T always are a pleasure to experience. This extremely vocal member of the vireo family utters its rich warble incessantly from sun-up to sun-down but it rarely makes itself visible.

I savor the timeless experience of scanning these tropical waves for storm-petrels and lost jaegers. Local guide and birder David Mora Vargas has been spending much of his time at his family’s farm in the Sarapiqui lowlands. Like a spy or avian investigator, I can scope them right through the front door, watch them at will.

I strongly suspect that the rate of attrition on this Loon family is inversely proportionate to the abundance of ducklings in the bay. Non-bird watchers without binoculars and experience are notoriously bad sources of information. Sometimes that one reaches adulthood, but just as often it disappears. More alarm calling. Apparently.

This is the same place that was nailed by a Humane Society undercover investigation. The Humane Society wants 9 chimps that are not being "used" as part of experiments to be released to a sanctuary. These chimps are currently at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette’s New Iberia Research Center. Interesting. percent of our DNA.

In fact, he's an excellent subject for a medical experiment. By the way, the cat Dusty is with a vet pending the results of the investigation. He should NEVER be returned to that family. I'm sure there's a sob story being concocted.he's just a kid, he's crying for attention, blah, blah, blah.

While Haviken foregoes these latter production methods, it does rely on the singular contributions of Brettanomyces lambicus , a member of a family of wild yeasts (colloquially known as “Brett”) known for producing distinctly funky flavors in several traditional Belgian styles, and more recently, a new breed of American “wild” ales.
