Over the last two weeks, we raised our faces and sniffed. I wondered, last August, how animals endure it — the tiny ever-pumping lungs of hummingbirds, the lungs of bighorn sheep shouldering their way up mountains, they must get filled with smoke too, right? For us here in the valley, though, at least it cleared the air.

Owls and eagles and ducks and hummingbirds and parrots and woodpeckers are all things that a regular nonbirding joe or jane can, with time and a few color photographs, see the appeal of. Even sparrows, if you choose the right species and play your cards right, can be elevated to ‘cute’ status.

Piney Z Lake is separated by Lake Lafayette by another raised berm – this time with no openings for paddlers. Common Gallinules camouflaged with the denser vegetation, and we were now so close to the woods that we heard Red-bellied Woodpeckers and Common Yellowthroats. Only one kayak and one canoe passed us as we explored.

They stay here in Mexico despite the heat, and raise their families. This male hoped right up on the side of my hide. This Gila Woodpecker was one of the star attractions of last weeks posting. It hurts for food right in the crashing surf, where no other birds really go. In fact I am not picky, any old Mot Mot will do!

Aptly called the tube-nosed birds, on account of their raised and highly visible nostrils, these species are able to hone in on oceanic food from several miles away, based on smell alone. New studies are beginning to show that smell may be an important part in these birds finding the right nest and/or partner under cover of darkness.
