For as long as I have been living here in Mexico, I have truly enjoyed watching the Harris’s Hawks antics. One of these methods is where one bird will fly down thru an arroyo, and spook out the game for its waiting members of the pack. harrisi can be found in southern Texas, Eastern Mexico and much of Central America.

Now that I am here in Mexico, I finally found them! I will continue to make the drive over to the Pacific Ocean side of the Baja, find a nice, semi-comfortable place in the beachside rocks, and smile contently, as the Snowy Plovers scurry back and forth on the white sandy beaches of Mexico.

For a good portion of the year, it became a numbers game, and my pure enjoyment of the birds for what they are, went away. I don’t really know if it was the relief from the pressure of the numbers game, the beautiful morning hike, Matt’s fresh energy, or finding that amazing warbler, but somewhere in the day, birds became fun again.

The original distribution of the Wild Turkey is not clearly known, but it existed from the Eastern Seaboard of the US nearly to the Rocky Mountains, avoided some of the more open plains in the north, and occurred in central Mexico. Bringing animals that would require feed and water at that early stage would have been unwise.
