Which tours saw the most roosting owls? This odd nocturnal creature is around the same size as a Barred Owl. I savor the timeless experience of scanning these tropical waves for storm-petrels and lost jaegers. Like a spy or avian investigator, I can scope them right through the front door, watch them at will.

It’s the warbler that is often the last unchecked species on birders’ life lists and, whether you list or not, for most of us observing it is a once in a lifetime experience. Let me know if you have seen the Kirtland’s Warbler, if you were part of the Magee Marsh experience or if you made the trip to Mio, and what that birding trip was like.

The experience is one of the ornithological highlights in the world. Go win a copy and you might get it before I get off my keister and write my review… Great Horned Owl Taking a Deer Leg Seriously, that really happens in this excellent video of a Great Horned Owl scavenging a deer carcass by Kirk Mona. Wicked, right?

Scouting can also turn up rare birds, fruiting and flowering trees, and maybe even an owl roost. That said, this year, it barely happened, and that disturbing experience brings me to my next point. Even though tropical birds can be unpredictable, the more territories you know about, the more likely you will get them on the Big Day.

Do you really need to have Kai’s birding experience further detailed not just by month but a level below? If the animal then touches or investigates the mark, it is taken as an indication that the animal perceives the reflected image as an image of itself, rather than of another animal. Yes, you do, trust me.
