special place to spend time. We had the pleasure of basing our trip out of Leavenworth, Washington, for this tour. The scenery alone is worth a visit, but the birding is spectacular too. Every place has a magical feeling, and a new surprise target bird seemed to appear practically every time we got out of the vans. This tour starts and ends in Seattle, but we quickly leave the city behind for the vastness of the mountains. This year, Brad McKinney was co-leader.

We walked the various trails and had some great looks at Black-headed Grosbeak, Western Warbling Vireo, and Anna’s Hummingbird. We took a quick drive up Icicle Creek Road and encountered Harlequin Duck and American Dipper, two big targets of the trip.

We were lucky right off the bat and found Lazuli Bunting, Canyon Wren, Bullock’s Oriole, and Chukar. The rain the night before had softened the already bumpy roads so much that we were unable to pass one section. We headed back down the canyon and had lunch on the banks of the mighty Columbia River. After lunch, we took the back way to the top of the canyon and had great looks at MacGillivray’s Warbler, Calliope Hummingbird, and Mountain Chickadee.

Douglas firs give way to streamside cottonwoods, and a dry sagebrush landscape predominates. Here we found Sage Thrasher and Brewer’s Sparrows.

Highlands of Scotland offer some of the most stunning landscapes anywhere, and some truly excellent birding. From our very comfortable base in Inverness’s finest hotel, we explored glens and moors, forests and tundra, firths and lochs, and the sheerest of sea cliffs in search of migrants and breeders. Two of everyone’s most desired species performed nicely. On Dava Moor, five male black grouse lingered on their lek, feeding, preening, and briefly dancing as we watched from a roadside pull-off. And a female red grouse at Lochindorb was accompanied by chicks; this is the only species endemic to Britain, and, like us, birders from around the world come to admire this handsome, non-white ptarmigan. In the high Cairngorms, we rode the speedy funicular to the treeless mountain heights, where we had almost grown discouraged when a female snow bunting, representing one of just sixty Scottish nesting pairs, suddenly appeared and fed on croissant crumbs nearly at our feet. Just as rare a breeder in Scotland is the Arctic loon; this year, we had the great good fortune to see an adult on the nest. And then, from scarcity to almost inconceivable abundance: we spent our last day on the seabird cliffs of Troup Head, surrounded by northern fulmars, common murres, black-legged kittiwakes, razorbills, and hundreds of northern gannets; even one of the local Atlantic puffins made an appearance.",{"type":54,"attrs":6126,"content":6127},{"textAlign":48},[6128],{"text":6129,"type":52},"Of course, no visitor to the Highlands would keep their ornithological blinders on to the exclusion of this region’s fascinatingly complex history. Our visit to Culloden, on an appropriately gray and misty day, took us across the battlefield where government troops killed some 1,500 adherents of the Jacobite cause; a morning at Fort George revealed even more of the intricacies of eighteenth-century politics, with a bonus visit to the dog cemetery. At Lochindorb, we admired the massive island castle of the “Wolf of Badenoch,” the ill-tempered warrior who spread fear and violence across the Highlands in the fourteenth century—a few days later, we would stand in awe of the huge ruins of Elgin Cathedral, just one of the structures and institutions viciously attacked by the Wolf during his bloody career. Just as imposing were the enormous remains of Urquhart Castle, its high stone walls and towers hugging the stony shore of Loch Ness (no, no “monster” this time). Our afternoon at the Highland Folk Museum, unfortunately, provided our one chance for another authentic Scottish experience: a pounding drizzle. But even so, our soggy walk took us to buildings, both original and reconstructed, that illuminated the rural past better than any guidebook ever could.",{"type":54,"attrs":6131,"content":6132},{"textAlign":48},[6133],{"text":6134,"type":52},"Here in the Highlands, the present is as captivating as the past, and the human residents are a big part of it, from our skilled drivers to the extremely helpful hotel staff and the friendly people we met on the trails and on the streets of Inverness.

So, we began near our hotel at John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge, where we found a nice variety of songbird migrants, numerous swallows, and even a few shorebirds. As the rain moved out, we headed to Cook’s Beach on the Delaware bayshore, where a rising tide was concentrating shorebirds, making for a spectacular show! Hundreds of Ruddy Turnstones, Red Knots, Sanderlings, and Semipalmated Sandpipers packed the beach as they feasted on Horseshoe Crab eggs, one of the hallmarks of spring birding in Cape May.

At Cape May Point State Park, we enjoyed close views of the Purple Martin colony and even watched volunteer caretakers check the nest boxes. At Garrett Family Preserve, we had excellent views of Prairie Warbler, Yellow-breasted Chat, and a surprise flock of Bobolinks. We also made a stop at Louise and Michael’s garden, where Ruby-throated Hummingbirds put on a show, a few Orchard Orioles visited the jelly feeder, and overhead raptor migrants included Broad-winged Hawk and Mississippi Kite. To see additional breeding songbirds, we made a trip north to Belleplain State Forest, where some highlights included Wild Turkey, Yellow-billed Cuckoo, Eastern Bluebird, and numerous warblers, including Worm-eating, Prothonotary, and Yellow-throated.",[12956],{"type":63,"attrs":12957},{"color":65},{"type":54,"attrs":12959,"content":12960},{"textAlign":48},[12961],{"text":12962,"type":52,"marks":12963},"To explore the vast coastal marshes, we enjoyed a leisurely afternoon back-bay cruise aboard “The Osprey” with Captain Bob Lubberman.

We also saw numerous shorebirds, including local breeders such as Willet and American Oystercatcher, as well as migrants like Hudsonian Whimbrel, Short-billed Dowitcher, Black-bellied Plover, and many others. Another highlight along the coast was our last stop of the tour at the Ocean City Welcome Center. The small shrub island here is home to an active heron colony.

weather for our West Texas Migration tour in the Davis and Chinati Mountains couldn’t have been better, with mild temperatures throughout the week. There were so many special nature experiences during our tour that it is difficult to summarize into highlights. At our first stop at Rio Bosque Park in El Paso, we had incredible views of Gambel’s Quail duetting from open perches in the thornscrub and shortly thereafter were observing side-by-side comparisons of Western and Clark’s grebes at a nearby reservoir. Our first full day in the Davis Mountains was unforgettable with wonderful views of Acorn Woodpecker, Summer Tanager, Black-headed and Blue grosbeaks, and Scott’s Oriole at the Davis Mountain State Park feeders, with close passes of the first of several Zone-tailed Hawks. The afternoon was spent at Carolyn Ohl-Johnson’s yard in Alpine, Texas where colorful birds seemed to pop up everywhere, with migrant passerines like Western Warbling Vireo, a large flock of Pine Siskins, Black-and-white, Orange-crowned, and Yellow-rumped warblers, along with a pair of nesting Phainopepla, two stunning male Western Tanagers, and a very late Townsend’s Solitaire. We then headed back to Davis Mountains State Park before nightfall to see two Elf Owls leaving and entering a nesting cavity near the Interpretive Center. We saw more great birds the following day at the Davis Mountains Preserve, including Gray Flycatcher, Woodhouse’s Scrub-Jay, White-breasted Nuthatch (Interior West subspecies), and Hepatic Tanager. The beautiful “sky island” ecosystem of oak-juniper-pine woodlands, grasslands, and forests surrounded by the Chihuahuan Desert were teeming with Ash-throated Flycatchers, Cassin’s Kingbirds, and Chipping and Lark sparrows. During both mornings near Fort Davis, we soaked up the sweet whistled songs of Chihuahuan Meadowlark, a regional specialty, during the dawn chorus. What an amazing two days in the Davis Mountains! Excellent birding continued at the world-renowned Cibolo Creek Ranch, both along the creek-lined cottonwoods and in the arid foothills of the Chinati Mountains. Here, we enjoyed incredible looks at Scaled Quail, Vermilion Flycatcher, Plumbeous Vireo, Black-throated Sparrow, Pyrrhuloxia, and Varied Bunting and many others. We also found two West Texas rarities at opposite end of the 30,000-acre ranch: the first was a Tropical Parula along a cottonwood grove at Fort Cienega that was first heard and later found amongst the numerous Yellow-rumped “Audubon’s” Warblers. The second rarity was a Prothonotary Warbler, which flew in to the edge of the main pond at Fort Cibolo just as we were assembling for our afternoon birding excursion. This beautiful warbler, which breeds in the eastern United States, delighted us all as it fed on insects along a rock wall and the pond edge. Wow! In addition to the amazing birdlife at the ranch, our group also enjoyed a nice variety of mammals, reptiles, and insects, including Texas Antelope-Squirrel, Desert Cottontail, White-tailed and Mule deer, Greater Earless Lizard, Coachwhip, and several beautiful dragonflies and butterflies.",[15142],{"type":63,"attrs":15143},{"color":65},{"type":54,"attrs":15145,"content":15146},{"textAlign":48},[15147],{"text":15148,"type":52,"marks":15149},"The great food and luxurious ranch-style accommodations at Cibolo Creek Ranch truly complemented the outstanding nature experiences here.

those who wanted to expand their opportunities to see migrants beyond the 50th Anniversary Celebration, we offered this short coastal extension. Our first stop was in some drying rice fields along Fairview Road where a growing flock of Buff-breasted Sandpipers had been accumulating over recent days. We counted a remarkable 320 birds there, some of which were performing their courtship wing flash displays! Moving on to the coast, a stop at Bob Road produced an abundance of Seaside Sparrows, many offering close views, and we also saw multiple flocks of Dickcissels passing by. A visit to Bolivar Flats offered some fabulous shorebird studies. First, the pools along Rettilon Road harbored side-by-side dowitchers, yellowlegs, Stilt Sandpiper, and both Eastern and Western subspecies of Willet. Also, close comparisons of Least, Semipalmated, and Pectoral sandpipers. Out on the beach, highlights included Piping and Snowy plovers, and six species of terns. We also found a pool that was a classroom in heron feeding behavior: Reddish and Snowy egrets and Tricolored Heron, all feeding actively chasing fish; and Great Egret and Little Blue Heron being more stoic with a sit-and-wait feeding style.",[15756],{"type":63,"attrs":15757},{"color":65},{"type":1363,"marks":15759},[15760],{"type":63,"attrs":15761},{"color":65},{"type":1363,"marks":15763},[15764],{"type":63,"attrs":15765},{"color":65},{"text":15767,"type":52,"marks":15768},"The next morning, we explored East End Lagoon and East Beach in Galveston. Here, we had additional excellent shorebird studies, including good looks at the animated feeding style of Wilson’s Plover. Out on the beach, a real highlight was driving right up to a roosting flock of terns including Royal, Sandwich, Common, and Forster’s, as well as Black Skimmers. A few Magnificent Frigatebirds in the area were also fun to see. At Galveston Island State Park, we enjoyed a displaying pair of White-tailed Kites, and some migrating raptors including Broad-winged and Red-tailed hawks, both uncommon on the barrier island. We paid our respects to the Eskimo Curlew statue, commemorating the last documented sighting of the species back in 1962. A nearby grove of trees harbored a number of passerines including Baltimore and Orchard orioles, Northern Waterthrush, Tennessee and Yellow warblers, and two spectacular Painted Buntings. At Settegast Road, we stumbled upon a mini-fallout of Blue Grosbeaks (20) along with multiple Eastern Kingbirds and a single Western Kingbird.",[15769],{"type":63,"attrs":15770},{"color":65},{"type":1363,"marks":15772},[15773],{"type":63,"attrs":15774},{"color":65},{"type":1363,"marks":15776},[15777],{"type":63,"attrs":15778},{"color":65},{"text":15780,"type":52,"marks":15781},"We began our final morning on the Galveston waterfront, where a Burrowing Owl had taken up residence. We then headed to the marshes around Port Bolivar. Here, with a little patience, we had good views of Nelson’s Sparrow, a Mottled Duck with chicks, and incredible views of a Clapper Rail with chicks. At Fort Travis, we watched Cliff Swallows at their nests and had nice comparisons of Long-billed Curlew alongside Hudsonian Whimbrel. Before departing the coast, we made one last stop at Boy Scout Woods, where we enjoyed a perched Common Nighthawk, and found a few songbird migrants including Yellow-billed Cuckoo, and Gray-cheeked and Swainson’s thrushes. On the way back to Houston, we made a stop at Sheldon Lake State Park where a small population of Limpkins has become establishes. Their loud calls echoed through the swamp, and one came into view nicely for us.",[15782],{"type":63,"attrs":15783},{"color":65},{"type":196},{"type":45,"attrs":15786,"content":15787},{"level":1233,"textAlign":48},[15788,15792],{"type":1363,"marks":15789},[15790],{"type":63,"attrs":15791},{"color":65},{"text":5614,"type":52,"marks":15793},[15794,15796],{"type":63,"attrs":15795},{"color":65},{"type":207},{"type":54,"attrs":15798,"content":15799},{"textAlign":48},[15800,15806,15811,15815,15819,15825,15830,15834,15838,15843,15848,15852,15856,15862],{"text":15801,"type":52,"marks":15802},"April

Complimenting the rich plethora of wildlife were beautiful landscapes of unique plants that we took time to appreciate along the way.",[17840],{"type":63,"attrs":17841},{"color":65},{"type":1363,"marks":17843},[17844],{"type":63,"attrs":17845},{"color":65},{"type":1363,"marks":17847},[17848],{"type":63,"attrs":17849},{"color":65},{"text":17851,"type":52,"marks":17852},"Our first day started out at W.G. Jones State Forest, where the aroma of pines filled the air. We were first greeted by a flyover flock of Cedar Waxwings calling overhead while Pine Warblers trilled beautifully beyond the parking lot. After a short walk among the towering pines we locked our sights on several Red-cockaded Woodpeckers. It was magical to watch them through the scopes, seen both at a nesting cavity and also seen feeding among other trees. This threatened woodpecker was one of several big hoped-for birds of our trip. Collectively we saw five Red-cockaded Woodpeckers that morning! Views of a Pileated Woodpecker were enjoyed as it chiseled its way to breakfast among the tree bark. While this was all happening, several adorable, treetop-foraging Brown-headed Nuthatches were squeaking way up in the tree. This was all such a special start to our tour!",[17853],{"type":63,"attrs":17854},{"color":65},{"type":1363,"marks":17856},[17857],{"type":63,"attrs":17858},{"color":65},{"type":1363,"marks":17860},[17861],{"type":63,"attrs":17862},{"color":65},{"text":17864,"type":52,"marks":17865},"As the day continued, we birded our way to Jasper. We enjoyed a Yellow-crowned Night Heron feeding along the grassy edge of an HEB parking lot. In more focused habitat, fabulous songbirds like Prairie Warbler and Blue Grosbeaks were observed and heard vocalizing, before we made our way to a fun picnic in the woods. A wonderful walk among sundew and pitcher plants was fantastic, as was seeing two Hooded Warblers to follow moments after. While we watched the Hooded Warblers, we talked about Victor Emanuel being known as the “Hooded Warbler” to many closest friends and connections in life. It was a special and sentimental moment. How cool that we were all together, because of VENT!",[17866],{"type":63,"attrs":17867},{"color":65},{"type":54,"attrs":17869,"content":17870},{"textAlign":48},[17871,17876,17880,17884,17889,17893,17897],{"text":17872,"type":52,"marks":17873},"On our next day we explored the vast pine forests of the Boykin Springs area, enjoying a distant Bachman’s Sparrow singing away among the pine branches. This exciting target of the tour was a delight to have been seen and heard! This regional specialist was a thrill to see, even if scoped at a distance. As our second full day in the field continued, we found a busy nest of Carolina Chickadees. A distant Fish Crow yelped it’s call while Brown-headed Nuthatches scooched among branches above us. An afternoon of enjoying lots of birds around Martin Dies State Park was in order. We were treated to amazing views of a Prothonotary Warbler close to our group, and an up-in-the-branches, a Yellow-throated Warbler and Northern Parula were among many highlights that were cherished. The ever-chatty White-eyed Vireos did a great job of filling the air with their charismatic song. Phew, so many cool birds! The day ended along the Island Trail within the state park where about 350 Anhinga soared over us. Seven species of exciting wading birds were seen, and no fewer than ten Pied-billed Grebes were noted moving around the vegetated waters.",[17874],{"type":63,"attrs":17875},{"color":65},{"type":1363,"marks":17877},[17878],{"type":63,"attrs":17879},{"color":65},{"type":1363,"marks":17881},[17882],{"type":63,"attrs":17883},{"color":65},{"text":17885,"type":52,"marks":17886},"Our last day had come too soon, and another visit to Boykin Springs was in order. Scope views of both a singing Bachman’s Sparrow and Indigo Bunting were awesome! Later in the day we enjoyed some great views of a sneaky Swainson’s Warbler singing around the forest edge. With patience and focus, we all got to enjoy views of this highly sought-after songster! One of the more unique moments of the trip took place that day, as we picked out a Swallow-tailed Kite mobbing an in-air Bald Eagle flying past. It was wild to see! As the afternoon came around, we made our way to Beaumont where many of us carried over to the VENT 50th Anniversary Celebration. There was much to celebrate from this pre-trip!",[17887],{"type":63,"attrs":17888},{"color":65},{"type":1363,"marks":17890},[17891],{"type":63,"attrs":17892},{"color":65},{"type":1363,"marks":17894},[17895],{"type":63,"attrs":17896},{"color":65},{"text":17898,"type":52,"marks":17899},"A special thank you goes out to everyone on this exciting pre-trip adventure.

short pre-trip to the pineywoods and hardwood swamps of East Texas was a wonderful way to kick off VENT’s 50th Anniversary Celebration. With a focus on the region’s breeding specialties, we began just north of Houston at W.G. Jones State Forest, a tract of open pine flatwoods where the uncommon and very local Red-cockaded Woodpecker occurs. It didn’t take long for us to find several of these special birds, including one going to and from its nest hole! We also enjoyed sightings of Pileated Woodpecker, Brown-headed Nuthatch, Carolina Wren, Eastern Bluebird, and Pine Warbler. Our next stop found us in the bottomland hardwood swamps of Trinity River National Wildlife Refuge, home to a variety of nesting songbirds including Swainson’s Warbler. With a little patience, we eventually had excellent views of this furtive and subtly handsome species. Later, on our drive to Jasper, we had quick but superb views of a Swallow-tailed Kite soaring along the roadside!",[18412],{"type":63,"attrs":18413},{"color":65},{"type":1363,"marks":18415},[18416],{"type":63,"attrs":18417},{"color":65},{"type":1363,"marks":18419},[18420],{"type":63,"attrs":18421},{"color":65},{"text":18423,"type":52,"marks":18424},"We began the next morning at Angelina National Forest, again in the pineywoods. On this calm, misty morning, birdsong echoed through the forest, including the melancholy whistled notes of Bachman’s Sparrow. Just listening to this bird in such an idyllic environment was simply enchanting. But of course, we wanted to see it, and with a good bit of patience and lots of scanning, we eventually found the songster perched atop a small shrub. Thankfully it stayed put and we enjoyed prolonged scope views of this bird. Elsewhere in the forest, we found additional interesting birds, including Louisiana Waterthrush, Pine and Hooded warblers, and another Red-cockaded Woodpecker.",[18425],{"type":63,"attrs":18426},{"color":65},{"type":1363,"marks":18428},[18429],{"type":63,"attrs":18430},{"color":65},{"type":1363,"marks":18432},[18433],{"type":63,"attrs":18434},{"color":65},{"text":18436,"type":52,"marks":18437},"In the afternoon, we moved on to Big Thicket National Preserve, a mosaic of habitats from longleaf pine forest to hardwood and cypress-tupelo swamps, to acidic bogs. We enjoyed a variety of songbirds here, including impressively large flocks of Cedar Waxwings. But top highlight was a woodpecker palooza – Red-headed, Red-bellied, Pileated, Downy, and Northern Flicker all in one spot! Another big highlight was the Pitcher Plant Trail where a boardwalk led us to a high density of pitcher plants and sundews, both carnivorous plants found only in acidic bogs. It was a thrill to have spectacular views of Kentucky Warbler and Brown-headed Nuthatch here, as well as sightings of Five-lined Skink, Green Anole, and Northern Cottonmouth.",[18438],{"type":63,"attrs":18439},{"color":65},{"type":1363,"marks":18441},[18442],{"type":63,"attrs":18443},{"color":65},{"type":1363,"marks":18445},[18446],{"type":63,"attrs":18447},{"color":65},{"text":18449,"type":52,"marks":18450},"On our last day, we spent the morning at Martin Dies Jr. State Park. Having seen all our prime “target” birds, we enjoyed a wonderfully birdy morning in this beautiful park. Under clear blue skies and with a slight chill in the air, birds were remarkably active and visible. At a leisurely pace, we enjoyed excellent views of Ruby-throated Hummingbird, White-eyed and Yellow-throated vireos, a Summer Tanager feasting on wasps, Northern Parula, and Prothonotary, Pine, and Yellow-throated warblers. Out by the lake, we saw numerous herons, egrets and swallows, plus Wood Duck and large flocks of Anhingas soaring overhead.

eased into Colombia at the Hacienda El Diamante. The building reminded us of familiar surroundings of the desert Southwest, but the verdant surroundings and birdlife were from another realm. Our first afternoon netted us over fifty species of birds including such gems as the Crimson-backed and Blue-necked tanagers. The charming Golden-faced Tyrannulet was incubating her eggs throughout our visit in an inconspicuous hanging cup tucked into moss over the front yard. The Limpkins around the fish ponds had three fuzzy young, an interesting find for El Diamante. We got our first hummers at the flowers and feeders with Steely-vented Hummingbird, Western Emerald, Brown Violetear, White-necked Jacobin, and Rufous-tailed Hummingbird. The highlight was in the morning when Michael led us to a field, he whistled and called a Crested Bobwhite for breakfast, sure enough the bird was waiting for him with its intricate plumage and spiky crest.

After we enjoyed the screamers we continued scanning over a weedy field where we found the cool-looking Oriole-Blackbird, and Red-breasted Meadowlark. Our constant companions for the morning were Yellow-headed Caracaras and Snail Kites. The Spectacled Parrotlets were cute and conspicuous, they were everywhere. The bamboo construction of the park facilities lends itself to cavities everywhere, which means many amorous parrotlets. Easing along the oxbow trail Natalie knew a roost for Tropical Screech-Owl, sure enough, one somnolent owl barely cracked its eye for us in the bamboo. A couple other nocturnal avians slept in front of us too, a Lesser Nighthawk and a Common Potoo.

A responsive pair of Blackish Rails lingered out in the open for us as dozens of Bare-faced Ibis made their way to their evening roosts. A Grayish Piculet and a Rufous-tailed Hummingbird on her nest filled in the tiny-bird niche. Rio Bravo was productive in the morning despite our inability to find mixed-species flocks. We tracked down some of Colombia’s many great tanagers. Silver-throated, Golden, Bay-headed, and Scrub were among nine species seen. Too sunny conditions kept the flock activity down but allowed us to study Variable Hawks, Double-toothed Kites and Barred Hawks soaring overhead. We returned in the afternoon and found some flock action. One fun aspect of birding well south of the border is seeing familiar breeders and migrants in very different environments.

The feeders were slow to start and only picked up a little steam but we had a good variety through the morning. Seems the fruit of the forest was coming on and birds were less obligated to the feeders. Mid-morning we headed out to the entrance road. We only found a few birds before lunch but they were memorable ones! A Green-and-black Fruiteater pair called back and moved around overhead for a few minutes before we were distracted by another great bird, the calling Golden-headed Quetzal. Which was pre-empted by a Streak-capped Treehunter building a nest in a roadside bank. Cue the Quetzal, it finally appeared on a powerline over the road, at least for a couple seconds, we all eventually got good looks at this stunning creature.

Overhead Swallow-tailed Kites swooped and White-collared Swifts effortlessly gobbled up bugs for breakfast. Indigo Flowerpiercers were seen too, they were always on the move but eventually we got some good looks at this striking little tanager.

The stomping, the purple air sacs, the raised sharp tails — the whole display unfolded feet from the comfort of our big-windowed vans. Breakfast with Ken afterward was a highlight of its own, as he shared stories of stewarding the land we had just enjoyed. On the drive back, Pinyon Jays chattered from the sage, and a Sage Thrasher sang nearby. We took time to enjoy some sagebrush Zen. Powerful and memorable. A teasing glimpse of an American Dipper later on turned into a full, cooperative show later in Steamboat Springs during an impromptu riverside check. Long-billed Curlews fed in a field close to Walden, and that evening we ventured into the mountains, where we saw a moose and heard two Boreal Owls calling through the darkness.",[20618],{"type":63,"attrs":20619},{"color":65},{"type":54,"attrs":20621,"content":20622},{"textAlign":48},[20623],{"text":20624,"type":52,"marks":20625},"The next morning brought one of the most iconic sights of the tour: 36 Greater Sage-Grouse displaying across a vast sage landscape, snowy mountains rising behind them.

The afternoon brought new birds even in the tour’s closing hours: Yellow-headed Blackbird, Baird’s Sandpipers, Greater Yellowlegs, Eared Grebes, and displaying Ruddy Ducks.

inhabited since the days of prehistory, the stunning natural landscapes of Provence’s Mediterranean coast are overlaid by an equally rich cultural history, making of this (generally) sunny region an ideal destination for travelers whose curiosity extends beyond birds to encompass architecture, food, wine, sculpture, and history. From our single hotel in lovely Arles, we had easy access to the marshes of the Camargue, the Alpilles, and to castles, museums, and churches, making this the perfect base for some of the best birding in Europe. Each day featured an 8:00 am start, after a lavish breakfast in our hotel, and included at least one short break between activities, with longer periods on a couple of days set aside for shopping, unstructured sightseeing, or simply resting up in the Provençal sun. We began on the shores of the Mediterranean, where curlew sandpipers and slender-billed gulls added a dash of color to the vast salt flats behind the dunes. On market day, we wandered from stall to glorious stall brimming with olives, shellfish, cheeses, pastries, and so endlessly on, then paid an atmospheric evening visit to the Crau, where we saw our first hoopoes and heard our first eery thick-knees. West of Arles, the Little Camargue and Scamandre produced all of the European herons, along with collared pratincoles, whiskered terns, and a great spotted cuckoo; nearby St-Gilles brought the Middle Ages to life with its spectacularly ornamented abbatial church. Straight north of the city, in the rugged limestone Alpilles, we birded the massive ruins of Les Baux, a castle with a sinister history, then moved to St-Paul, where beneath the shadow of Roman monuments, Vincent van Gogh painted during his stay in the psychiatric institution housed in an ancient monastic complex. The Pont du Gard and the Early Christian cemetery of the Alyscamps took us back even farther in time, both renowned sites alive with history and with birds. We spent our final warm and sunny day together in the famous reserve at Pont de Gau, where flamingos fed nearly at our feet and herons and ibis built their nests and raised their young in apparent oblivion of their human visitors; here too we finally had the long-desired clear views of singing Cetti warblers, while pied avocets and stunning spotted redshanks worked the shallow brackish waters.",[21494],{"type":63,"attrs":21495},{"color":65},{"type":196},{"type":45,"attrs":21498,"content":21499},{"level":1233,"textAlign":48},[21500,21504],{"type":1363,"marks":21501},[21502],{"type":63,"attrs":21503},{"color":65},{"text":5614,"type":52,"marks":21505},[21506,21508],{"type":63,"attrs":21507},{"color":65},{"type":207},{"type":54,"attrs":21510,"content":21511},{"textAlign":48},[21512,21517],{"text":19355,"type":52,"marks":21513},[21514,21516],{"type":63,"attrs":21515},{"color":65},{"type":207},{"text":21518,"type":52,"marks":21519},"-

Texas Hill Country extension began with an afternoon drive from Laredo to Concan. En route, we tallied several interesting species including a rare White-tailed Hawk (a tour first), six Harris’s Hawks, an impressive twelve Crested Caracaras, abundant Scissor-tailed Flycatchers (79 individuals for the day!), Western Kingbird, Chihuahuan Ravens, a colony of Cave Swallows and thirty or so Yellow-headed Blackbirds among others. Following an early dinner at Neal’s Café, we headed to the nearby Frio Bat Cave to witness the evening exodus of millions of Mexican Free-tailed Bats. While we waited for the bats to emerge, we had scope views of a singing Canyon Wren and watched hundreds of Cave Swallows spiraling into the cave to roost. The bats started coming out later than usual, so we had somewhat of an abbreviated flight, but still watched probably a million or more stream out in a seemingly endless line.

A small pond near the parking area yielded seven species of shorebirds, including five Pectoral Sandpipers, a couple of Solitary Sandpipers, a late Wilson’s Snipe and side-by-side views of Greater and Lesser yellowlegs, in addition to a dozen or more stunning Black-bellied Whistling Ducks. Two pairs of Least Grebes from close range were a surprise, and we also tallied Inca Dove, Great Kiskadee, Black Phoebe and Curve-billed Thrasher.

again, our Spring in South Texas tour was a huge success. We tallied virtually all of the South Texas specialty birds, had a wonderful experience with Whooping Cranes, found several great rarities and had a very good fallout on South Padre Island. Our weather was generally good, except for one really stormy day, and that one bad day resulted in the aforementioned fallout! Along the way, we tallied 220 species of birds!

By this time in April, most of the cranes that winter here have already started heading north, so there is always some apprehension about finding this highly-sought species. Well fear not, we had 8 individuals, including a group of four that came within 40 yards of the boat allowing superb viewing. It was magical, as one of the rarest species on earth put on a great show! But the cranes weren’t the whole show. We also tallied a very rare Sooty Tern (only my second ever in Texas), American Oystercatchers with a baby, four Lesser Black-backed Gulls, Seaside Sparrow, and countless terns, herons, egrets and shorebirds to round out the morning.",[22969],{"type":63,"attrs":22970},{"color":65},{"type":1363,"marks":22972},[22973],{"type":63,"attrs":22974},{"color":65},{"type":1363,"marks":22976},[22977],{"type":63,"attrs":22978},{"color":65},{"text":22980,"type":52,"marks":22981},"After lunch, we headed north to Cavasso Creek, where we found Boat-tailed Grackles at the very southern limit of their range. We then headed back down to Corpus hoping for better views of the Cattle Tyrant. After about a forty-minute wait, it appeared out of nowhere and landed on the dumpster. This time, he put on show, stalking round the dumpster rim and catching one fly after another. His spunky attitude enchanted the group, and the tyrant was ultimately voted the favorite bird of the tour!",[22982],{"type":63,"attrs":22983},{"color":65},{"type":1363,"marks":22985},[22986],{"type":63,"attrs":22987},{"color":65},{"type":1363,"marks":22989},[22990],{"type":63,"attrs":22991},{"color":65},{"text":22993,"type":52,"marks":22994},"The following day, we did an extensive loop from Corpus Christi to Mustang Island to Port Aransas and back to Rockport, hitting a wide variety of locations and habitats. For the day, we would see an impressive 100 species of birds with countless highlights. Blucher Park yielded many good birds including Chuck-will’s-widow, Great Kiskadee, Clay-colored Thrush, Long-billed and Brown thrashers, Northern Parula and Hooded Warbler to name a few. A Brown Booby near Oso Bay caused quite a stir (only a second time ever for this tour). In the grasslands of Mustang Island, we found a wonderful pair of Aplomado Falcons and a perched White-tailed Hawk. The Leonabelle Turnbull Birding Center in Port Aransas produced Cinnamon Teal, American Golden-Plover, Stilt Sandpiper and a lovely Prothonotary Warbler, while Mustang Island beach revealed Piping and Wilson’s plovers and Least Terns in record time.",[22995],{"type":63,"attrs":22996},{"color":65},{"type":1363,"marks":22998},[22999],{"type":63,"attrs":23000},{"color":65},{"type":1363,"marks":23002},[23003],{"type":63,"attrs":23004},{"color":65},{"text":23006,"type":52,"marks":23007},"On day 5, our luck continued on the famed King Ranch. We very quickly found one of the two main ranch targets, the Ferruginous Pygmy-Owl. A new ban on playback, and even whistling, makes finding the owl very hard, so we were fortunate to literally find one silently perched in an oak within two minutes of getting out of the van! We watched this tiny owl for nearly thirty minutes and eventually just walked away. Other ranch specialties fell quickly into place as we had excellent views of Northern Beardless-Tyrannulet, Audubon’s Oriole and Tropical Parula (at one point no more than ten feet away!) in short order before lunch. Other ranch highlights included Northern Bobwhite, several Greater Roadrunners, more White-tailed Hawks, Brown-crested Flycatcher and spectacular Vermilion Flycatchers. By mid-afternoon, we headed south to McAllen, our home for the next three days. Late in the day, we birded residential areas of north McAllen in hopes of finding Green Parakeets coming in to roost. In rather quick fashion, we found a raucous group of 42 parakeets in the Walgreen’s parking lot! It was quite the spectacle and the noise was deafening!

A very rare Crimson-collared Grosbeak (a northeastern Mexican endemic) had overwintered at this site, and we were hoping that it would linger for long enough for us to see it. With the help of the park staff naturalist, we had fantastic views of the grosbeak within fifteen minutes of arrival. It was only the fourth I have ever seen in the United States and a great bonus for our tour! Ther many other great birds to see at Edinburg, including our first Least Grebes, glittering Buff-bellied Hummingbirds and a Green Kingfisher. Estero Llano Grande State Park filled our afternoon. It was warm and breezy, so bird activity was rather low, but we did add White-tipped Dove, White-faced Ibis and fluorescent Altamira Orioles to our rapidly growing list. We capped the day with some very productive owling---getting crippling views of Common Pauraque and Eastern Screech-Owl (McCall’s subspecies).

Numbers of birds were already being spotted by birders who had gotten there before us, and birds were dropping out of the sky as we arrived. In short order, we had Eastern Wood-Pewee, Eastern Kingbird, Yellow-throated, White-eyed and Red-eyed vireos, Wood Thrush, Swainson’s (rarely seen on this tour and right out in the open), Kentucky, Hooded, Prothonotary, Black-and-white, Orange-crowned and Tennessee warblers, Northern Parula, Louisiana Waterthrush, Orchard Orioles, Summer Tanagers and Indigo Buntings. Birds were all around us. Tearing ourselves away, we headed to the nearby convention center, and although it had fewer birds overall, we did see Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, American Redstart, more Prothonotary Warblers, Orchard Orioles and Indigo Buntings. The South Padre Island Birding center was next in line. Top birds there included a very late Bufflehead, Sora, Pectoral Sandpiper, Roseate Spoonbill from twenty feet, Yellow-throated and Northern Yellow warblers and still more Indigo Buntings. We had just enough time after lunch to return to Sheepshead to look for new arrivals, and we were not disappointed. Two brilliant Blue-winged Warblers, a handsome Worm-eating Warbler as close as ten feet away and a Swainson’s Thrush had joined the parade of migrants. On our way off the island, a flooded ditch had a late Wilson’s Snipe and a Solitary Sandpiper, while mangroves at the end of the causeway hosted a Scarlet Tanager.",[23055],{"type":63,"attrs":23056},{"color":65},{"type":1363,"marks":23058},[23059],{"type":63,"attrs":23060},{"color":65},{"type":1363,"marks":23062},[23063],{"type":63,"attrs":23064},{"color":65},{"text":23066,"type":52,"marks":23067},"Our final full day was amazing as well. We spent the morning on Santa Margarita Ranch, and most of that on a bluff overlooking the Rio Grande (my single favorite spot in all of the LRGV).

Among these were the hoped-for Gray Hawk, Ringed & Green kingfishers, Red-billed Pigeon and Audubon’s Oriole.

began our tour de Bhutan in Paro where we birded the dry river valley along the banks of the Paro Chu and scored wonderful views of up to six different Ibisbill. From Paro we scaled the pass of Chelela at almost 14,000 ft where the birding proved fantastic – several species of regal pheasants, stunning male rosefinches and redstarts, and an amazing sighting of a Bearded Vulture repeatedly dropping bones from the air to break them open on the rocks below. From the serene Ha valley, we ventured south along the Ha Chu and then upwards again to the pass of Tergola. Here we birded amongst the snow in glorious rhododendron forests and found several species that specifically follow the blooming flowers. From the pass we descended to 2,600 ft at Gakiling where we camped for two nights beside the impressive Amo Chu which marks the border of Ha and Samtse provinces. The birding along the road from Tergola was memorable, with great sightings of some classic Himalayan species and several immense mixed species flocks. From Ha, we travelled west to the capital Thimphu for two nights. Here we birded in the scenic Jigme Dorji National Park where our first bird of the day was a stunning male Satyr Tragopan. We again breakfasted in a serene location amongst tall firs overlooking the valley below as Scaly-breasted Cupwing and White-browed Bush-Robin called nearby. Other goodies here included Spotted Laughingthrush, Rufous-bellied Woodpecker, and Brown Parrotbill. Heading further west, we had a picture-perfect morning at the pass of Dochula, with stunning looks north towards distant snow-covered mountains. A large flock of the nomadic Fire-tailed Myzornis was a great find here, as were a pair of friendly Great Parrotbill. That afternoon we visited the immense Punakha Dzong, bathed in gorgeous late afternoon light. From Punakha we followed the mighty Punatsang Chu south, initially stopping at a wide braided section of river where we picked up a rare passage migrant, Little Stint, among a decent haul of waterfowl. This year there was to be no anxious searching for White-bellied Heron, as fortunately a nest of this critically endangered species had been pre-arranged. It was a special moment watching one of the parent’s standing over two tiny chicks from a dramatic viewpoint over the river – almost 3% of the global population in one view. The next morning we birded downhill from the low pass of Darachu, despite road-widening works in progress, we still had a very birdy morning here in the broadleaf forests. Himalayan Cutia and Golden Langurs delighted, while several immense mixed flocks caused a mix of panic and elation! Dropping down to the lowlands along the Indian border we finally experienced some straight roads (!) and a different flavour of avifauna. We managed to record four species of hornbill on this day, included breathtaking looks at a Great and Oriental Pied Hornbill as they fed in a betel palm plantation beside the road. The obligatory stop at a sewage works was ticked off in Gelephu, and it added a host of new species to our growing trip list, including a smart Citrine Wagtail, two species of woodpecker, parakeets, and starlings. Our brief stint in the lowlands was soon over and so we beat the heat and made our way back uphill, this time northwards towards Tingtibi and the pass of Tamala. We enjoyed some nice roadside birding along the way while dodging roadworks, muddy roads, and landslips, with Yellow-rumped Honeyguide and a male Red-headed Trogon the stand outs south of the pass. In the late afternoon we began winding our way down to our lovely accommodation at Tingtibi, but not before jagging a mesmerizing pair of Beautiful Nuthatch!",[23931],{"type":63,"attrs":23932},{"color":65},{"type":54,"attrs":23934,"content":23935},{"textAlign":48},[23936],{"text":23937,"type":52,"marks":23938},"Our time around Tingtibi was really highlighted by the great lodgings beside the Mangde Chu and a birdy session in the bamboo at Goling, highlights included two species of parrotbill, White-hooded Babbler, close looks at a pair of Rufous-necked Hornbill, strange Chestnut-winged Cuckoo, and Chestnut-bellied Nuthatch tapping away on the restaurant window during meal times – someone let the man in already! From Tingtibi, we took the “fast” road north to Trongsa, which gave us ample time in the afternoon to bird the beautiful budding forests on the slopes adjacent to the imposing Trongsa Dzong. After a pleasant evening and morning around Trongsa, we began the journey back west towards Paro. Before returning to the capital we visited the rural Phobjika Valley and nearby pass of Pelela. Once again this year our group was fortunate to encounter a lingering pair of Black-necked Cranes, alongside Eurasian Hobby, Hen Harrier and an errant Pied Avocet. The next morning at Pelela, we capped off our Bhutanese birding exploits with an unforgettable sighting of two male Satyr Tragopans. Birding here amongst the profusely flowering rhododendrons was a fitting send-off to our time in Bhutan, which had come to an end far too soon. Thanks to all for your eagerness and enthusiasm, and a huge thanks to our guide, Chimi, driver Kinley, and ground crew who were exemplary – the daily breakfast porridge is already sorely missed!",[23939],{"type":63,"attrs":23940},{"color":65},{"type":196},{"type":45,"attrs":23943,"content":23944},{"level":1233,"textAlign":48},[23945,23949],{"type":1363,"marks":23946},[23947],{"type":63,"attrs":23948},{"color":65},{"text":5614,"type":52,"marks":23950},[23951,23953],{"type":63,"attrs":23952},{"color":65},{"type":207},{"type":54,"attrs":23955,"content":23956},{"textAlign":48},[23957,23962],{"text":23119,"type":52,"marks":23958},[23959,23961],{"type":63,"attrs":23960},{"color":65},{"type":207},{"text":23963,"type":52,"marks":23964},"- (AM) DEL-PBH, Paro Chu;

Visits to the nearby pine savanna and west causeway yielded even more birds, such as Pinnated Bittern, Ferruginous Pygmy-Owl, Northern Beardless-Tyrannulet, Yucatan Jay (particularly abundant this year), and Altamira Oriole.

A fabulous evening “Spotlight Safari” on the New River, under a star-filled sky, yielded sightings of Common Pauraque, Yucatan Nightjar, Northern Potoo, Sungrebe, Boat-billed Heron, American Barn Owl, three species of kingfishers, a variety of roosting diurnal birds (including a Rufous-tailed Hummingbird!), several Morelet's Crocodiles, and both Greater Fishing Bat and Proboscis Bat.

easy to forget, in this noisy world we have created, just how much of any genuine experience of nature is auditory. Time and again during our week on the Great Plains, we were reminded that hearing really is the birder’s most important—and often most enjoyable—mode of perception: not in the trivial sense, necessarily, of “birding by ear,” but in the way that sound can bring us both closer to and deeper into the world of plants and animals. We stood beneath the exhilarating roar of the cottonwoods on the one windy day we experienced, and our outings in eastern Nebraska and western Iowa took place in a soundscape of Northern Cardinal song, loud and bright. Flocks of Greater White-fronted Geese tootled their way north against impossibly blue skies, while Eastern and Western Meadowlarks greeted the day, sometimes from the same field.",{"type":54,"attrs":26079,"content":26080},{"textAlign":48},[26081],{"text":26082,"type":52},"The eeriest of our mornings—and the earliest, with a still more-than-humane 6:15 departure from McCook—found us enveloped in the rumbling hoots of Greater Prairie-Chickens as they solemnly danced their way into the next generation. Out on the shortgrass of Angus Gary’s ranch, the thrumming of these stunning and slightly comical grouse was interrupted only by the tinkling songs of Horned Larks, uttered, in best Horned Lark tradition, from atop cow pies. The chickens’ display is often called “booming,” a term that, evocative as it is, does little justice to the birds’ astonishing repertoire of moans, cackles, and whines. As always, we were so close in our stock-trailer blinds that we could hear the stamping of feathered feet responsible for the chickens’ fast, rattling drumroll. There is nothing like it when the prairie sun rises to reveal a dozen or more males strutting through the buffalo grass, pinnae erect and vividly orange throat sacs inflated.",{"type":54,"attrs":26084,"content":26085},{"textAlign":48},[26086],{"text":26087,"type":52},"And, of course, the cranes.

Each visit and site held its own peculiar charm, but the most impressive this year was our last morning’s sojourn on the banks of the river at the Alda bridge. Small, noisy groups of birds—a few thousand in total—were roosting downstream, while to our west we initially estimated some 9,000 cranes massed in the shallows. Then the sun rose, the dawn’s fingers not so much rosy as scarlet, revealing behind that first rank of 9,000 what was likely the largest coherent flock of Sandhill Cranes any of us had ever seen. The birds were, literally, innumerable, but pressed to quantify them, we finally estimated (a fine word, that, for guessing) a total of 100,000 on the water, with untold thousands more audible beyond the river’s nearest bend.

again, our Northern Ecuador Hummingbird & Tanager Extravaganza delivered its magic! This weeklong “Relaxed & Easy” itinerary explored the western and eastern slopes of Ecuador’s colossal Andes cordillera, visiting several of South America’s prime hotspots at a comfortable pace. We initiated our travels from the capital city of Quito toward the northwest, climbing to a lofty 3,600 m.a.s.l. at Yanacocha Reserve, enjoying a nice start with our first wonderful hummingbirds: Shining Sunbeam, Buff-winged Starfrontlet, Sword-billed Hummingbird, and Great Sapphirewing, with Black-chested and Scarlet-bellied Mountain-Tanagers, among others. We then continued downslope over the seriously weathered Paseo del Quinde EcoRoute to eventually stop at Mindo Cloudforest Foundation’s Pacha Quindi Reserve for Violet-tailed Sylph, White-booted Racket-tail, Purple-bibbed Whitetip, Purple-throated Woodstar, and Toucan Barbets, among the highlights. As we advanced toward our destination, a pair of iconic Plate-billed Mountain-Toucans topped off our first (awesome) day.",{"type":54,"attrs":26742,"content":26743},{"textAlign":48},[26744],{"text":26745,"type":52},"Séptimo Paraíso Lodge became our comfortable “hub,” from which we visited several nearby west-slope sites at varying elevations. The lodge grounds, Milpe and Río Silanche Bird Sanctuaries, San Tadeo Birding, Frutti Tour, and Mashpi-Amagusa were our targets, and each produced exciting encounters. Among them: Green-fronted Lancebill, Purple-crowned Fairy, Velvet-purple Coronets, Empress Brilliants, Crowned Woodnymphs, Purple-chested Hummingbird, Blue-tailed (Chocó) Trogon, Orange-fronted Barbets, Crimson-rumped Toucanet, Pale-mandibled Araçaris, Chocó Toucans, Rose-faced and Bronze-winged Parrots, Rufous-rumped Antwren, Zeledon’s Antbird, Golden-winged and Club-winged Manakins, Orange-breasted Fruiteaters, Speckled Nightingale-Thrush, Yellow-collared Chlorophonias, Moss-backed, Glistening-green, Rufous-throated, Beryl-spangled, Metallic-green, Flame-faced, and Scarlet-browed Tanagers, Black-chinned Mountain-Tanagers, Yellow-tufted and Scarlet-thighed Dacnises, Purple and Golden-collared Honeycreepers, and Black-winged Saltators. Our final “climb” back up the west slope added Mountain Velvetbreast, White-bellied Woodstars, Golden Grosbeaks, and Blue-capped Tanagers.

Here, we marveled at 13 Andean Condors in all their glory, Black-chested Buzzard-Eagle, Carunculated Caracaras, and an impressive showing of amazing Giant Hummingbirds! What a way to jump-start the day! We then descended back to the inter-Andean valley and took a brief detour along the Sigsipamba road, finding Black-tailed Trainbearer, Tufted Tit-Tyrants, Hooded Siskins, and Band-tailed Seedeater. After climbing over the 3,962 m.a.s.l. pass and checking out Laguna Papallacta (Yellow-billed Pintail, Andean Teal, Andean Gull), we continued descending to Baeza for a lunch break, then advanced to La Brisa (a local birding garden) with Green Hermit, Long-tailed Sylph, Peruvian Racket-tails, Green-backed Hillstar, Violet-fronted Brilliants, and Gorgeted Woodstars. It was then time to beeline to Wildsumaco in the Amazonian foothills, where we came upon Speckled Chachalaca and Yellow-headed Caracaras sandbathing along the lodge’s entrance road. Once settled in, we had time for a taste of Wildsumaco’s hummingbird extravaganza.",{"type":54,"attrs":26752,"content":26753},{"textAlign":48},[26754],{"text":26755,"type":52},"Here, we enjoyed the lodge deck, explored nearby roadside habitat, the Coopmans Trail, and the lodge’s moth lights at dawn—each experience produced new delights.

We encountered a female Gray-breasted Sabrewing before walking to the main event, hearing strange grating screeches as we reached a nicely built lookout, where, lo and behold… up to 16 crash-paint-orange male Andean Cocks-of-the-Rock clambered about nearly everywhere! Surely, a sight to behold as a pair of Chestnut-eared Araçaris looked on.

the first morning of our Best of Belize tour, we boarded a small boat and headed out for a five-hour excursion into Crooked Tree Lagoon and Spanish Creek. Birds were everywhere, leading to many stops as we traversed southward on the lagoon. Northern Jacanas lined the shore (we would see a ridiculous 203 for the day), Snail Kites patrolled the edges, noisy Limpkins called from the thickets, and Ringed Kingfishers rattled overhead. We hadn’t gone more than a few hundred yards when the calls of Yucatan Woodpecker led us to great views of this regional endemic. A Black-collared Hawk was soon spotted perched low above the water. A dapper pair of Russet-naped Wood-Rails strolled into view, with a Purple Gallinule in tow. Glossy Ibis, White Ibis, Wood Stork, Bare-throated Tiger-Heron, Roseate Spoonbill—where to look first?

Just as we were about to pull away from the Sungrebe, a pair of Ruddy Crakes began calling nearby. This phantom species is often heard but virtually never seen. Quite incredibly, however, the pair walked right into the open, allowing superb views. Continuing on, we scoured the brushy edges of the shore looking for our last remaining target, the spectacular Agami Heron.

As the sun crested above the horizon, several Blue-billed White-Terns flew by, each making careful and graceful passes as they headed to-and-from their selected nesting trees. With some searching we locked our sights on a nesting Blue-billed White-Tern, shuffling intently on a branch. The scope views of this species were magical, and we were less than an hour into our first day of birding!

Everyone in the group was able to appreciate binocular views of this stunning island endemic, complimented with its sweetly-distinct whistles that carried through the understory. Charming and wondrous. After taking moments to appreciate the elepaio we made our way to another forest where were surrounded (and initially teased) by numerous Oahu Amakihi among the tree tops. Patience paid off, with nice views to follow. The mid-day and afternoon was spent first with Hawaiian Black-necked Stilts and Pacific Golden-Plovers as well as some seawatching. We enjoyed views of a locally-rare Red-billed Tropicbird among Red-tailed Tropicbirds, and even some Sooty Terns and distant Black Noddies. Distant Humpback Whales were wonderful to see.

Laysan Albatross were seen patrolling the horizon, as were inquisitive Great Frigatebirds. In the afternoon we enjoyed views of pure Hawaiian Ducks among wetlands!

Their lively antics and crimson-red, black, and white complexion was stunning to see up close. Looking beyond the cliff over the ocean, the low clouds parted once again where we were able to see a White-tailed Tropicbird as well as very distant Humpback Whales breaching the water surface (we realized we were watching them from just over 4000 feet up in that moment)! It was wild. Casual walks along the beautiful Ohia trees brought forth several well-appreciated moments with the delightful and adorable Kauai Elepaio. At one point, we got to hear the extremely rare Anianiau singing softly in the woods. This latter endemic species has been significantly declining in recent years.

After arriving in Kailua-Kona we had exciting times birding among various waterways with Hawaiian Black-necked Stilts, Ruddy Turnstones, Wandering Tattlers, Yellow-billed Cardinals and more. We scored views of a beach-resting Hawaiian Monk Seal that had just beached itself moments before our arrival. Not far from the seal were several Honu (Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles) paddling around! Chatty Red-masked Parakeets fed not far from several Rosy-faced Lovebirds all while this was happening. Before checking into our luxurious, paniolo (Hawaiian cowboy) motel for the next few nights, we enjoyed a few birding spots enroute. Seeing Io (the Hawaiian Hawk) was fantastic plus Hawaii Amakihi too. We often spend a great deal of time looking for Chestnut-bellied Sandgrouse among various sport fields, and upon our arrival we found ourselves looking at one out in the open, seemingly waiting for our arrival. It was great to appreciate this bird well! A brief flyby Pueo (Hawaiian Short-eared Owl) was seen as we wrapped up our day.

We have a day reserved with our fantastic local-guiding friends, Garry and Jon of Hawaii Forest and Trail. We’ve developed a special birding relationship with them over the past few years, making this unique day happen with layers of wonder and awe as we explore the Hawaiian wilderness of Hakalau National Wildlife Refuge. Before even reaching the refuge, we scored great views of a rock-perching Black Francolin out in the open, in addition to several Erckel’s Spurfowl running around. As we entered the refuge, we could tell the magic was setting-in quickly. The forest was vast with old, hardy trees, many draped with delicate lichens, ordained with vibrant leaves, and some freckled with blossoms. Between the Koa trees, the Ohia trees, the Pukiawe bushes and more, there was so much native life to enjoy. Nene greeted us in the parking lot, and as the steps continued throughout the day, we enjoyed views of no fewer than twenty-two Iiwi, THREE rare Akiapolaau, Hawaii Amakihi, a dozen endangered Alawi (Hawaii Creeper), Omaos (Hawaiian Thrush), Apapanes, and even five rare Hawaii Akepa among the tree tops. Hawaii birdsong filled the air. Making the most of our visit, we took some time to really soak up the native Hawaiian Zen. This was all complimented with experiencing a special sense-of-place as the teaching moments delved into the natural history and native plants surrounding us. It was enchanting.

Checking out Pele’s hair and Pele’s tears was special, and we got to see residual aftermath of an eruption that took place a few days earlier on, with tephra all over the ground and some clusters even suspended up in the trees! A visit down to the coast brought forth some nice scope views of the unique orange-footed Black Noddies, as well as up-close experiences of exploring various types of lava formations, lava field after lava field.

close-knit group of keen travelers began our exploration of Cambodia in the steamy city of Siem Reap. Famed for its proximity to the impressive abundance of ancient temple complexes surrounding Angkor Wat, Siem Reap is also an excellent base from which to visit a number of the country’s most significant birding sites, including Tonle Sap—the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia. ",[35241],{"type":63,"attrs":35242},{"color":32765},{"type":54,"attrs":35244,"content":35245},{"textAlign":2895},[35246],{"text":35247,"type":52,"marks":35248},"We spent most of our first day exploring several temple complexes and the surrounding forests of Angkor Wat. Our local guide, Yim Sithon, provided us with a great deal of information about the architecture and history of the site. After a stunning sunrise over the main temple complex, we made our way into the spectacular and well-preserved forests here. Highlights included Oriental Pied-Hornbill; two species of owls; White-throated Rock-thrush; four species of drongos; Himalayan Cuckoo and Square-tailed Drongo-Cuckoo; Forest Wagtail; Alexandrine and Red-breasted parakeets; and good looks at two species of microbats roosting inside the Bayon Temple. After a great time soaking up the place, we beat the heat and headed back to our very pleasant hotel and what must be one of the largest pools in Siem Reap. ",[35249],{"type":63,"attrs":35250},{"color":32765},{"type":54,"attrs":35252,"content":35253},{"textAlign":2895},[35254],{"text":35255,"type":52,"marks":35256},"Our second full day was spent exploring the waterways of Tonle Sap. This was a great experience, combining abundant and varied birdlife with an insight into the way of life for the people living here on floating villages. A roosting Spotted Wood-Owl (expertly spotted by Nara) kicked off the birding, and then after a slight delay while we procured a new battery, we were off again down the narrow waterways teeming with egrets, Whiskered Tern, Oriental Darter, Spot-billed Pelican, cormorants, Gray-headed Fish-Eagle, and hundreds of storks overhead. At a tower overlooking a colony of nesting Painted Storks, we could really appreciate the magnitude of the place and just how many birds were out there. While Milky Stork proved too tough for some to pick out of the flocks of Painted Storks overhead, we had much more satisfying views of the vulnerable Greater Adjutant, as well as several Lesser Adjutants. In the afternoon, we visited an area of lotus ponds where we located several species of waders, good numbers of Eastern Yellow Wagtails, Oriental Pratincole, Pheasant-tailed Jacana, and nearby, a small nesting colony of the threatened Asian Golden Weaver. ",[35257],{"type":63,"attrs":35258},{"color":32765},{"type":54,"attrs":35260,"content":35261},{"textAlign":2895},[35262],{"text":35263,"type":52,"marks":35264},"From Siem Reap, we headed to the north of the country for three nights, before returning to the cultural capital. Our first stop on the way was the Prolay grasslands, east of the city and on the northern shores of Tonle Sap. Here our local guides expertly led us to a patch of native grassland where we had great views of a critically endangered Bengal Florican. The grasslands here were alive with the songs of Oriental Skylarks and Singing Bushlarks; we also flushed several King Quail, no doubt attracting the several Eastern Marsh and Pied harriers we saw, and a feeding flock of Sarus Cranes were another highlight of the morning. From Prolay we took the road north and eventually arrived in the small town of Chheb, where we would stay for the next three nights (in place of the usual Tmat Beauy, which is now off limits due to the regional unrest between Cambodia and Thailand). In the late afternoon, we visited the dipterocarp savanna north of town where most of our target species reside. The heat made things a bit slow, but we rounded out the day nicely with a pair of huge Great Slaty Woodpeckers and distant looks at one of the two critically endangered ibis species that inhabit these parts—White-shouldered. ",[35265],{"type":63,"attrs":35266},{"color":32765},{"type":54,"attrs":35268,"content":35269},{"textAlign":2895},[35270],{"text":35271,"type":52,"marks":35272},"Over the next two days we explored the bird-rich woodlands around Russey Treb and Veal Krous—both community managed and protected areas of forest. The conditions at times were hot, smoky, and dusty, but we had a number of very enjoyable sessions in the field, punctuated by midday siestas and excellent local food. This region of Cambodia is famous for its woodpecker diversity, and we notched up 10 species during our time here, including the beautiful Black-headed and White-bellied woodpeckers. At Veal Krous we enjoyed great looks at three different critically endangered vultures: Red-headed, White-rumped, and Slender-billed. Cuckoos were evident, with good looks at Green-billed Malkoha and Indian and Banded Bay cuckoos. Other highlights included a pair of White-rumped Falcons; roosting Brown Wood-Owl; nesting Crested Treeswift; nest-prospecting Vernal Hanging-Parrot; and finally, on our last attempt, three critically endangered Giant Ibis at their roost tree, preparing to head off to some secluded forest pool for the day. ",[35273],{"type":63,"attrs":35274},{"color":32765},{"type":54,"attrs":35276,"content":35277},{"textAlign":2895},[35278],{"text":35279,"type":52,"marks":35280},"We returned to the comforts of Siem Reap for three nights and spent two days birding at two very different locales on the outskirts of the city. First up was Ang Trapeang, an impressive area of rice paddies and flooded fields surrounding a large reservoir. Here we were impressed by huge quantities of herons, shorebirds, and ducks—including a flock of Garganey that probably numbered well over 3,000 birds. We notched up 15 species of shorebirds, including the lovely Greater Painted Snipe, and located several Greater Spotted Eagles, among others. The next morning, after an early start, we found ourselves sitting quietly in a hide at the Changkran Roy community forest reserve. We waited patiently and were rewarded with several short but excellent looks at two Coral-billed Ground-Cuckoos!—a mega bird anywhere in its range, and this is surely the best place to see one. Other highlights from our morning in the hide were Scaly-breasted Partridge, Siberian Blue Robin, three species of bulbuls, abundant Asian Emerald Doves, striking White-crested Laughingthrush, and a pair of new mammals—Northern Treeshrew and Indochinese Ground Squirrel. ",[35281],{"type":63,"attrs":35282},{"color":32765},{"type":54,"attrs":35284,"content":35285},{"textAlign":2895},[35286],{"text":35287,"type":52,"marks":35288},"Leaving Siem Reap, we made our way east for the town of Kratie on the east bank of the impressive Mekong River. Here we spent a pleasant afternoon birding some rice paddies just out of town with highlights being Small Buttonquail, Watercock, Pallas’s Grasshopper Warbler, Golden-bellied Gerygone, and large numbers of hirundines, cisticolas, and cormorants flying overhead to roost. The next morning we had a fantastic boat trip out on the Mekong River in an area of rapids and small islands. Here we quickly encountered the attractive Mekong Wagtail, which was then interrupted by a family of the endangered Irrawaddy Dolphin surfacing beside our boat! At least six dolphins proceeded to show wonderfully as they fed around us. Other highlights from our time on the river included amazingly close views of Small Pratincole, Little Heron, Osprey, Little Ringed Plover, and numerous Gray-throated Martins. ",[35289],{"type":63,"attrs":35290},{"color":32765},{"type":54,"attrs":35292,"content":35293},{"textAlign":2895},[35294],{"text":35295,"type":52,"marks":35296},"From the mighty Mekong we made our way further east to the area of Senmonorom. Here on the border of Vietnam is an area of elevated rolling hills at the southern end of the Annamite Range, where dry grassy hillsides, dominated by native pines, are bisected by forested evergreen valleys. We birded in the vicinity of Dak Dam (a stone’s throw from Vietnam) and in the extensive forests of the Keo Seima Wildlife Sanctuary. Our visit was timed with an outbreak of thunderstorms in the region, so birding time was reduced somewhat, but we still made the most of several birdy sessions not far from our also very birdy lodge. On our way to Keo Seima, our bus encountered “mechanical difficulties,” but this unplanned stop yielded some fine birds nearby—Green Peafowl was an excellent discovery, as was Annam Prinia, Eurasian Jay, Mountain Imperial-Pigeon, Indochinese Barbet, and close looks at Ashy Woodswallow. Back on the road again, after some stellar work by our driver/mechanic, we were soon birding the trails in Keo Seima—here a Bar-bellied Pitta called from cover, eluding us, whereas Scaly-crowned Babblers, Blyth’s Paradise-Flycatcher, and Crimson Sunbird were more obliging. The highlight came as we were leaving, when a Jerdon’s Baza was spotted circling low overhead—always a scarce species across its scattered distribution. A troupe of the endangered Black-shanked Duoc also graced us with their presence, although at some distance. Visiting Dak Dam the following day was a great experience. The forest here was different from anything else we had experienced so far in Cambodia, and it was ringing with birdsong on what was a clear, sunny morning. A noisy party of White-cheeked Laughingthrushes started the show, then a pair of stunning Silver-eared Mesias revealed themselves, before a bit of tape work brought out some gorgeous Silver-breasted Broadbills; Maroon and Black-naped orioles were splashes of color, as were Van Hasselt’s, Crimson, and Black-throated sunbirds; Orange-breasted Laughingthrush sang loudly but resolved to stay hidden, unlike a cute Speckled Piculet, or the Crested Goshawk that circled overhead with its distinctive puffy tail edges. When not in the field, birding around the lodge proved productive, with Plain-backed Sparrows nesting on the grounds, Orange-breasted Green-Pigeon, Black-winged and Oriental cuckooshrikes, and Golden-fronted Leafbird all noted. ",[35297],{"type":63,"attrs":35298},{"color":32765},{"type":54,"attrs":35300,"content":35301},{"textAlign":2895},[35302],{"text":35303,"type":52,"marks":35304},"The time had come to return to civilization, so our last full day was spent mostly driving to Phnom Penh. On the way, however, we made one last important stop at an area of unassuming roadside vegetation. Here, on the outskirts of the capital, a pair of Cambodian Tailorbirds quickly revealed themselves, giving us great looks at this overlooked species only discovered as recently as 2009. It was a fitting end to a great tour, where birding at times was tough but frequently punctuated by wonderful encounters with some of the region’s rarest and most spectacular species. We were truly fortunate to be able to visit this rapidly developing country and find so many of the threatened and enigmatic species that still survive here—a testament to the hard work of local community conservation groups. ",[35305],{"type":63,"attrs":35306},{"color":32765},{"type":196},{"type":45,"attrs":35309,"content":35310},{"level":1233,"textAlign":48},[35311,35315],{"type":1363,"marks":35312},[35313],{"type":63,"attrs":35314},{"color":65},{"text":5614,"type":52,"marks":35316},[35317,35319],{"type":63,"attrs":35318},{"color":65},{"type":207},{"type":54,"attrs":35321,"content":35322},{"textAlign":48},[35323,35329],{"text":35324,"type":52,"marks":35325},"February 17 ",[35326,35328],{"type":63,"attrs":35327},{"color":32765},{"type":207},{"text":35330,"type":52,"marks":35331},"- (AM) Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom;

Winter in Northern Minnesota tour was a thrilling experience. We explored many scenic places throughout this beautiful part of Minnesota, enjoying the area's unique charms as well as the birds and mammals. This year we were treated to many highlights and even a handful of unexpected write-ins on our daily checklists. And on top of the many wildlife moments each day, it was fun to savor the wonderful dining at nearby restaurants, all mere minutes from our hotel. Starting this year, VENT has added an extra day to this exciting annual tour, and on this year’s tour we had some memorable travels and finds on this additional day!",{"type":54,"attrs":36446,"content":36447},{"textAlign":48},[36448],{"text":36449,"type":52},"After gathering at our lakeside hotel on the opening afternoon, we made our way to some local fields and hotspots where we were delighted by not one, not two, but four Snowy Owls! When Snowy Owls come down for the winter, they are content living and hunting among tundra-like landscapes. We found ourselves looking up at a light post for one of the owls and at the end of an airplane wing for another; two others were just out in the open, as if they were in charge of the landscape. We even got to see one fly and hunt among the snow! It was wild and beautiful, with pink-orange colors filling the afternoon sky. On our way back shortly after seeing the owls, we came across two Mourning Doves and took a moment to appreciate them. Mourning Doves are very uncommon during the winter months here and are far from annual on this tour. A tasty dinner and cheerful camaraderie ended our welcoming evening on a special note.",{"type":54,"attrs":36451,"content":36452},{"textAlign":48},[36453],{"text":36454,"type":52},"A day at Sax-Zim Bog was in store for our first full day in the field. One of the first animals of the day was a porcupine resting up in a tree at sunrise. As the morning unfolded, we enjoyed wonderful experiences with both Canada Jays and Blue Jays, Pine Grosbeaks of both sexes, and dazzling treetops filled with gatherings of Evening Grosbeaks. While uncommon this winter (it varies every year), it was also a treat to find redpolls feeding among the birding thrills at hand. A bit more meandering throughout the roads had us focusing on old-growth spruce and bog habitat. On these Duluth tours, I describe these areas as sacred, as they have formed over many stunted growing seasons and are home to a wide variety of specialized flora and fauna. Additional views of Canada Jays continued; their chickadee-on-steroids-like shape was well appreciated, bringing smiles to our faces. A few dollops of freshly placed peanut butter and birdseed invited many birds to visit the area in front of us. Black-capped Chickadees are the predominant chickadee here, and we enjoyed their high-energy feeding antics. And after not much of a wait at all, not one but TWO Boreal Chickadees came into view. They are such beautiful little stars of the spruce forest, and it was great to study them, even while they sang at times. Both White-breasted and Red-breasted nuthatches were seen visiting the feeders, as were Downy and Hairy woodpeckers and even more Pine Grosbeaks. A rare American Marten sprinted quickly up the road. An obligatory visit to the Friends of Sax-Zim Bog welcome center ensued, where we were greeted by the wonderful naturalists there. It was great to take time to visit their entire setup, browse their little store, and make our annual donation on behalf of VENT’s tour.",{"type":54,"attrs":36456,"content":36457},{"textAlign":48},[36458],{"text":36459,"type":52},"After a Northwoods comfort-food-style lunch, we began our search for a Northern Hawk Owl back in the bog. Upon arriving, we could see the owl at a bit of a distance . . . and Kevin and I got the scopes set up ASAP. Within mere minutes, this sleek and legendary owl of the far north decided to fly to an evergreen very close to where we were standing outside our van. Minutes passed, and we relished our moments with this striking bird, a life bird for many in our group! After pulling ourselves away, we decided to check out some under-birded side roads nearby and came across a group of Wild Turkeys feeding in a field. Moments after seeing the turkeys, a flock of Snow Buntings came into view! Before leaving the bog for the day, we took a walk along one of the beautiful old-growth spruce boardwalks. The tall trees looked down at us, and solitude filled the air. We took some time to appreciate and learn about the highly specialized bog plants growing along the boardwalk. It was all so magical. We enjoyed a delicious meal that night, with many folks in the group opting for the wild rice and walleye that the area is known for.",{"type":54,"attrs":36461,"content":36462},{"textAlign":48},[36463],{"text":36464,"type":52},"The next day we explored many areas along the scenic North Shore of Lake Superior. Before we were even a few minutes from the hotel, we pulled over to enjoy layers of stacked plates of ice along the lake, with the many angles sharing shades of teal, electric blue, and almost silver-like qualities. The stacks of ice had accumulated from the recent mild temperatures. The views of the shore were dreamy. Seeing a kaleidoscope of ducks was icing on the birding cake. From our first few spots we enjoyed birds like both Common and Red-breasted mergansers, Common Goldeneyes, a Northern Pintail, and glimpses of an American Black Duck. Further up the shore we enjoyed views of two seasonally uncommon Horned Grebes. Throughout the afternoon in the far-reaching town of Grand Marais, with some persistence, we locked our optics onto some beautiful Bohemian Waxwings, a big target of the day! They trilled as they fed atop the trees and were a thrill to watch for several minutes!",{"type":54,"attrs":36466,"content":36467},{"textAlign":48},[36468],{"text":36469,"type":52},"Exploring various reaches of the Superior National Forest was on our agenda for the next morning. While we were loading up the vans at the hotel before sunrise, a White-throated Sparrow called and bounced across the hotel entrance near our vans—a rare and pretty unexpected sight for the tour! Way up in the forest, careful scanning along key northern roads unfortunately didn’t turn up any Spruce Grouse (they are tricky); however, while admiring one of the vast frozen nearby lakes, a very unexpected Trumpeter Swan flew over us. Later in the day we checked out a recently burned area where we scored views of two different Black-backed Woodpeckers, a special treat of the Northwoods! They were busy calling and feeding. On the way down the shore we spotted two White-winged Scoters and a Long-tailed Duck along some scenic vistas. Before calling it a day, we enjoyed a plethora of ducks on ice and ended the day with a Harlequin Duck alongside Common Goldeneyes and an unpleasantly far-away Peregrine Falcon perched on a building.",{"type":54,"attrs":36471,"content":36472},{"textAlign":48},[36473],{"text":36474,"type":52},"Our last day always comes too soon on this exciting tour. We made our way north and around Sax-Zim Bog. After birding the fields, a visit to my friend Mary Lou’s bird feeders was in order. A dozen Evening Grosbeaks charmed the maple trees with their voices and flashy appearance, while sassy Blue Jays called nearby. Later, with the sun at our backs among the spruce forest, the Canada Jays and Pine Grosbeaks left us beaming with joy, as did obliging views of Boreal Chickadee! Some additional fresh air on the mild day and a walk down the woodland road had us viewing a striking male Black-backed Woodpecker perched out in the open. It was fun to listen to him call as he fed. After lunch we made our way to a different boardwalk and participated in some Bog Zen. After some solitude and being charmed by chickadees, we ended the day exploring one more region of Sax-Zim Bog. It was fun to be the discoverers of a newly arrived adult male Northern Harrier, as well as a dark-morph Rough-legged Hawk (both on the leading edge of a northward movement). An all-too-brief Sharp-tailed Grouse flew by as the day came to a close. We ended the day at a special restaurant just minutes from our hotel. The dining ambiance was relaxing and pleasant, and we enjoyed our final meal while sharing many special memories from this Northwoods adventure.",{"type":54,"attrs":36476,"content":36477},{"textAlign":48},[36478],{"text":36479,"type":52},"A special thank you goes out to everyone who was on this tour, both new friends and friends from past VENT tours.

Hoofed mammals included Sambar, Common Barking Deer, and Wild Boar. We were lucky to encounter Asian Elephants on two occasions, including a large bull. Other notables included Vogel’s Pit-viper and Indochinese Water Dragon.

We ascended this colossal range from the Amazonian foothills up through the forested subtropical and temperate zones to the ‘tundra-like’ paramo ecosystem just below the glacial snowline of Antisana Volcano, from as low as about 1,000 meters above sea level to over 4,300 . . . and we were obliged to layer-up our attire accordingly!",[37800],{"type":63,"attrs":37801},{"color":21},{"text":2912,"type":52,"marks":37803},[37804],{"type":63,"attrs":37805},{"color":32765},{"type":54,"attrs":37807,"content":37808},{"textAlign":48},[37809,37814],{"text":37810,"type":52,"marks":37811},"We initiated our trip with a last-minute flight cancellation Plan B—instead of the short, scheduled flight from the highland capital city of Quito to the Amazonian frontier town of Coca, where we were to be met by our ‘official’ ground-agent/driver and our co-leader, we had to be driven some 4.5 hours to our day’s destination, Wildsumaco Lodge, located in the Amazonian foothills. So, our morning plan to do some lowland birding was effectively dashed, and we pretty much beelined it from our hotel San José de Puembo—(with Southern Beardless-Tyrannulet and Blue-and-yellow and Scrub tanagers among other highland specialties) including a brief stop at the Narupa gas station (where we came up with a Northern Waterthrush and a few common lowland Amazonian bird species) and again along a gravel-surfaced entrance road—to the lodge.

The sun was low in the sky when we approached the Brown Jay hotspot, and almost on cue we saw a large jay silhouette ahead on the trail. Seconds later, we heard their loud “PEEAHH” calls from several locations off the trail.

It may have been this Great Horned Owl that kept the Mottled Owl from calling until well after nightfall, when we excitedly heard its distant calls along the Rio Grande. Simon guided us along a trail that took us to a spot where he thought the owl might be perched. Amazingly, the Mottled Owl flew into a tree within a few feet of where we were lined up, providing us with brief but amazing looks at the fantastic bird. Our final bird of the evening was a Common Poorwill calling from the arid slopes of the ranch. This species is rarely heard in January; however, it responded to playback on this warm winter evening.

I have led many tours with him over the years, and it is always a joy to bird with him and learn from him. Birdsong filled the air, and gentle water swept below us as we crossed the iconic red entrance bridge to the lodge. We took some moments to enjoy the renowned Canopy Lodge bird feeders. Recently placed fruit welcomed Dusky-faced, Crimson-backed, and Palm tanagers, as well as Buff-throated Saltators. An ambitious Spot-crowned Barbet hopped over to feed amid the commotion, as did two Keel-billed Toucans. Before a tasty onsite lunch, we enjoyed unbelievably cooperative views of a White-tipped Sicklebill that was resting, feeding, and preening directly behind our rooms. During our afternoon outing, we enjoyed views of a Purple-crowned Fairy and flyby Brown-hooded and Blue-headed parrots. The bulk of the afternoon was spent at a new offsite bird-feeding station just moments away. We had great views of Red-crowned Ant-Tanagers and Flame-rumped Tanagers, as well as four different species of hummingbirds and a wintering Black-billed Cuckoo!",{"type":54,"attrs":39580,"content":39581},{"textAlign":48},[39582],{"text":39583,"type":52},"The next morning, we set our sights on sampling some cloud forest birding in the Las Minas area. The corridor of trees welcomed many birds, including great views of a Collared Trogon, Chestnut-capped Warbler, gorgeous Silver-throated Tanagers, and a Golden-collared Manakin. A sneaky Golden-winged Warbler scooched by through the canopy at one point. White-breasted Wood-Wrens charmed the woods with their songs. Before lunch, we enjoyed views of two sleepy Tropical Screech-Owls! In the afternoon, we birded just on the other side of town in Las Mosas. A little intermittent rain was no match for us—we had a great time. We enjoyed not one, not two, but three Spectacled Owls there, in addition to a fairly close-feeding Lineated Woodpecker, Golden-hooded Tanagers, and both a Blue Dacnis and some Red-legged Honeycreepers in nearby trees.",{"type":54,"attrs":39585,"content":39586},{"textAlign":48},[39587],{"text":39588,"type":52},"The next day, we set our sights on the magnificent and vast reaches of Altos Del Maria, the highest-elevation region of the tour. Before we had even left the lodge, word got out that the White-tipped Sicklebill was visiting behind our rooms, and we took some time to relish this stunning and distinct hummingbird. The steep and meandering roads led us to our birding wonderland for the day. Earlier in the day, we enjoyed views of a large Great Black Hawk, Olive-striped Flycatcher, and Tawny-capped Euphonia among so many special moments. A wintering Black-throated Green Warbler fed in front of us at one point. A little later in the morning, we enjoyed views of a striking Green Hermit feeding on small blossoming flowers, a flock of canopy-feeding Black-and-yellow Tanagers (one of the many cloud forest specialists), and we even got to see a Northern Emerald-Toucanet (another big target). Adorable Plain Antvireos chattered nearby among vines and thin branches. We had a picnic lunch near the Biodiversity Trail, and what a special experience it was. In the afternoon, we enjoyed sightings of a White Hawk soaring overhead and both Blackburnian and Canada warblers, in addition to a beautiful Spotted Woodcreeper. And throughout the day, we were surrounded by gorgeous trees, vines, mosses, and orchids. So much greenery!",{"type":54,"attrs":39590,"content":39591},{"textAlign":48},[39592],{"text":39593,"type":52},"The next day, we headed to the lowlands, where vast fields blended into coastal environments. While making our way down the outer slopes of El Valle, we saw fabulous birds like a Lesson’s Motmot (scoped through layers of branches), two Ferruginous Pygmy-Owls, Yellow-green Vireos, both Tennessee and Bay-breasted warblers, and more. We could feel the temperature rising as we entered a new ecoregion and climate of the tour . . . the birding was heating up, too! With careful scanning, we got to see one of the big targets of the morning, Brown-throated Parakeets. It was a joy to see them from a distance, and at one point they flew a little closer to feed in trees very near us. A mid-morning gas station break brought the only chance of the tour to see House Sparrows (yes, House Sparrows), and our sharp-eyed efforts located the little family of sparrows just before we headed back into the field. Birding the lowlands of the Juan Hombron area was next on our list. The birds in this area are exceptional. We enjoyed views of two Savanna Hawks, a Pearl Kite, several Lesser Yellow-headed Vultures, many wading birds, and also tiny birds like Mouse-colored Tyrannulet and Sapphire-throated Hummingbird. A sassy Rufous-browed Peppershrike added to the excitement while we enjoyed a snack in the cool shade. Lunchtime beach birding included birds like Willet, incredibly close Magnificent Frigatebirds, Brown Pelicans, and three scoped Cocos Boobies! Two tiny, range-restricted Garden Emeralds were seen before we made our way back home. What a day!",{"type":54,"attrs":39595,"content":39596},{"textAlign":48},[39597],{"text":39598,"type":52},"A second day of birding in Altos Del Maria was in the works. With a little patience, we saw the dark and dapper Dull-mantled Antbird in the early morning. Schnazzy birds like Common Chlorospingus, Boat-billed Flycatcher, and even a Scarlet-thighed Dacnis were seen (the dacnis is very uncommon for the trip). Despite it being the dry season, these birds were appreciated through some rain as well. As the day progressed at higher elevation, we scored nice moments with Black-headed Tody-Flycatcher, White-ruffed Manakin, Tawny-crested Tanagers, Broad-winged Hawks, and others. The shy Snowcap made an appearance just before lunch, as did an incredible Two-barred Flasher. An Olive-striped Flycatcher complemented additional views of a Northern Emerald-Toucanet. A Scaly-breasted Wren gave his high-pitched, thin little song from the deepest green abyss before we headed home. It was a joy to spend some time after dinner with Raúl Arias de Para (founder of the Canopy Family) and his wife, Denise. They are such fabulous people, and after dinner they invited our group to watch a special video put together to commemorate the recent 25th anniversary of the Canopy Family.",{"type":54,"attrs":39600,"content":39601},{"textAlign":48},[39602],{"text":39603,"type":52},"Our last morning always comes too soon. On this “cleanup” morning of local birding, we first enjoyed much wildlife at the bird feeders at the Canopy Lodge before making our way into the field. We spent some wonderful moments with two handsome Rufous-crested Coquettes perched out in the open! Another big target of the morning was Tody Motmot, and with some patience we focused our binoculars and scopes on one of these rare little charmers while another called in the distance. Upon seeing the Tody Motmot, we had observed four different motmot species during the tour! An obligatory visit to the market in town offered an array of vibrant, handmade goods for sale.

We saw several unexpected species on the final day of our coastal leg, including four Wood Storks on a State Highway 100 resaca (oxbow lake) and a Tropical Parula at Resaca de la Palma State Park.",{"type":54,"attrs":40836,"content":40837},{"textAlign":48},[40838],{"text":40839,"type":52},"On our travel day to McAllen, we headed out to the Palo Alto Battlefield in Brownsville after first stopping at the productive wetlands of Bahía Grande (Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge), where we observed a variety of waterfowl and shorebirds.

Our first stop—a bathroom break at a gas station—was surprisingly exciting, with twenty-three bird species appreciated right in the parking lot! It was fun to see birds such as Orchard Oriole and Common Tody-Flycatcher while being serenaded by a Yellow-green Vireo. A little farther along the Pan-American Highway, we made an impromptu stop beside a vast field, where we scored great views of a Lesser Yellow-headed Vulture, an often tricky species to find throughout the trip. A Common Squirrel-Cuckoo serenaded the airspace with its sweet little notes. Later, an obligatory visit around Bayano Lake was wonderful, as many birds came into view, including an Orange-crowned Oriole and Garden Emerald. A lunchtime stop in Tortí had us viewing five beautiful hummingbird species while we dined. After a day of commuting to the Canopy Camp, the camp’s entrance road offered a great view of a resting Common Potoo and a Spot-breasted Woodpecker perched in a tree. As we checked into camp, the hummingbird feeders were in full swing and readily visited by Bananaquits galore—plus a plethora of hummingbirds, including a rare Blue-throated Goldentail.

Three King Vultures were seen soaring overhead. A Double-banded Graytail (a regional specialist) fed over our heads while Yellow-throated Toucans yodeled from the canopy. A lovely Gartered Violaceous Trogon perched nearby while a Purple-crowned Fairy fed on nearby flowers. There were so many highlights throughout the day. After a fabulous Canopy Camp lunch and a siesta, we did some birding along the Pan-American Highway. While exploring some wetland environments, we enjoyed a remarkable experience with Black-capped Donacobius, essentially a South American species. These wetland specialists are beautiful and fun, with their comical tail-swaying and bold vocalizations. We set our scopes on several adorable Spectacled Parrotlets that afternoon—a treat to end our day!",{"type":54,"attrs":41702,"content":41703},{"textAlign":48},[41704],{"text":41705,"type":52},"Our next day was an early one, with Harpy Eagle being our focus. We birded our way along the Chucunaque River to the town of El Real. While birding by boat, we had great experiences with two Green Ibises, Common Black Hawk, the charismatic Black-collared Hawk, and a Mangrove Swallow among twenty-five species seen just on the boat ride over! Once on land, we made our way to a trailhead leading into deeper forest, focusing on reaching the Harpy Eagle nest site. After a short walk through the woods, we found ourselves looking at a young Harpy Eagle high in a sacred Cuipo Tree. The eagle’s regal yet adorable antics were studied and enjoyed as it checked out its surroundings from within the nest. We admired this bird’s beauty for quite some time. How incredibly magical it was to be in the presence of such a legendary bird—and the national bird of Panama, too! While in awe of the Harpy Eagle, we witnessed two very rare Great Green Macaws flying past. Numerous antbirds were heard and seen nearby. Checker-throated Stipplethroat was a delight, and we had a remarkable scope experience with a Russet-winged Schiffornis, an elusive species often hard to see despite its robust song. After some time viewing the eagle nest, we saw one of the parent Harpy Eagles land beside the young bird and keep watch over it. After some Harpy Eagle zen, we carefully made our way out of the deep forest while appreciating the flora and fauna. Red-breasted Meadowlarks in a nearby field put on a show at our little lunch stop afterward.",{"type":54,"attrs":41707,"content":41708},{"textAlign":48},[41709],{"text":41710,"type":52},"Our next day was another fun-filled one as we birded local spots not far from the Canopy Camp. We started out among the vast rolling landscape of Sanson Abajo. At our first stop, Tino played just a little playback to see what birds were in the area. He dubbed this recording the “chicken playback,” as it unintentionally included background chickens crowing throughout the track. Comical rumor has it that it worked birding magic . . . and within moments, a kaleidoscope of birds appeared right in front of us. Great studies of Red-legged Honeycreeper and Blue Dacnis ensued, along with Baltimore Oriole and Prothonotary Warbler, among others. Seeing so many species at one time left us in awe. Later in the morning, we savored views of a very rare Black-and-white Hawk-Eagle, a lifer for everyone on our tour—including me. A Pearl Kite was seen shortly before a Striped Cuckoo appeared out in the open. We enjoyed 67 species of birds along about half a mile of birding that morning. In a nearby area that afternoon, we observed both Chestnut-fronted and Blue-and-yellow macaws, in addition to delightful birds like Fork-tailed Flycatcher, Spot-breasted Woodpecker, and an adult Gray-lined Hawk.

Four Choco Sirystes brought big smiles to our faces, as did a radiant male Blue Cotinga. Purple-throated Fruitcrow bugled from the woods. Tiny and flashy birds like Yellow-winged Flatbill were seen, as well as the adorable Ruddy-tailed Flycatcher. Scope views of a Cinnamon Woodpecker stole the show at one point. Antbirds observed included Dusky, Bare-crowned, and White-bellied. In the afternoon, we birded another renowned hotspot, the Yaviza Wetlands. We started with a fantastic study of a Zone-tailed Hawk flying overhead, in addition to an uncommon Swainson’s Hawk. Four rare Great Green Macaws passed by, along with a Chestnut-fronted Macaw. The Pied Water-Tyrant caught our attention as two Bat Falcons worked the treetops. A sneaky Paint-billed Crake teased us with its bizarre vocalizations before we left.

The birding-by-boat experiences were a delight. Throughout the morning, we saw so many amazing birds such as Amazon and Ringed kingfishers, Mangrove Swallows, and three species of herons (Striated, Green, and Little Blue). A highly sought-after and very regional Black Oropendola flew over the river at one point! While birding nearby trails off the boat, we saw amazing birds like the highly regional Dusky-backed Jacamar, in addition to Gray-cheeked Nunlet, a lek of Golden-collared Manakins, and a Northern Plain-Xenops, to name a few. Back in the village, we admired the many beautiful handmade bowls, plates, and masks crafted by the Emberá people, each piece made with care and available for purchase to support the village.

Hiking through this beautiful riverside natural area is always exciting. Throughout the morning, we scored both Black Hawk-Eagle and Ornate Hawk-Eagle (completing the hawk-eagle trifecta), in addition to fabulous birds like Checker-throated Stipplethroat, Lesser Greenlet, and two of our big targets there . . . the Graceful Black-throated Trogon and endemic Yellow-green Tyrannulet!

We headed pretty directly to Las Animas Creek, where we tallied several Acorn Woodpeckers, five Bridled Titmice (from as close as fifteen feet away), White-breasted Nuthatch, more Woodhouse’s Scrub-Jays, and a pair of Northern Cardinals (subspecies ",{"text":43788,"type":52,"marks":43789},"superbus",[43790],{"type":3231},{"text":43792,"type":52},"), among others. Inside Percha State Park, we found a good variety of birds, including a rare Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, all three phoebes (where else can you do that!), another Vermilion Flycatcher, many Western Bluebirds and Phainopeplas, and a very rare Northern Parula. At nearby Caballo Reservoir, we added Clark’s and Horned Grebes to our list, while below the dam at Riverside Campground, we found about 40 White-throated Swifts feeding over the river and a couple of cooperative Wilson’s Snipe.

Along the way, we stopped for a flock of forty Mountain Bluebirds that decorated the trees and shrubs like so many turquoise-blue Christmas ornaments. At Water Canyon itself, we had a nice variety of birds, including Red-naped Sapsucker, Woodhouse’s Scrub-Jay, Juniper Titmouse, Bushtit, more Western Bluebirds, and flocks of Pine Siskins. A jittery flock of Chestnut-collared Longspurs coming in to drink at a water tank near the canyon entrance was a good find. We finished up the day at the Ladd Gordon Waterfowl Complex at Bernardo. The big numbers of geese and cranes were wintering in that area this year, as opposed to nearby Bosque del Apache NWR. Bernardo did not disappoint, with an estimated 10,000 white geese and 8,000 Sandhill Cranes seen at very close range.

adventures through Western Mexico were a study in contrasts. Puerto Vallarta thrummed with the comings and goings of planes, buses, and cars. San Sebastian del Oeste was more tranquil, with small-town vibes, and quieter still were our retreats at Hacienda Caudillos and Rancho Primavera. The sweltering sun of town was replaced by a chilling wind at 8,000 feet in the pines of La Bufa. One constant was birds; we enjoyed 260 species, including more than 30 endemics. Bumblebee Hummingbird, Aztec Thrush, Golden-cheeked Woodpecker, and Military Macaw all delighted us as we birded our way around Jalisco, Mexico.",{"type":54,"attrs":45851,"content":45852},{"textAlign":48},[45853],{"text":45854,"type":52},"We started in the Puerto Vallarta area seeking a couple of endemics that we would not cross paths with later in the trip. Cruising the Boca de Tomates road, we eventually found some gorgeous Elegant Quail after our first couple of auditory encounters remained only heard. The male’s reddish headdress is exquisite on this appropriately named bird. Our second bird proved equally challenging, but eventually a tiny, cute, green Mexican Parrotlet came to check us out. We had many other sightings along the road, including San Blas Jay, Yellow-winged Cacique, and a few massive American Crocodiles. After birding the shrublands of Vallarta, we headed into the fray, passing through all of Puerto Vallarta before exiting to the serene south side and a great lunch at the Vallarta Botanical Gardens. After birding the grounds and getting great looks at the tiny endemic Golden-crowned Emerald, we headed to Rancho Primavera near El Tuito for the next five nights. With a bird list surpassing 300 species, Rancho Primavera is an ideal place to stay and bird! Our first day even gave us a surprise, with a handsome young Boat-billed Heron roosting right next to the dock. A few days later, a Northern Potoo’s eye would gleam in the beam of our light from the same spot. Every day we enjoyed the daisy tree, a perennial composite covered in daisy-like flowers that smell of chocolate cake batter.

After lunch, the little village of Aquiles Serdán hosted a Common Black Hawk and a Hook-billed Kite. In the thorn forest before lunch, we studied a Great Black Hawk soaring overhead, noting its long legs, longer banded tail, and narrower wings. Also in the thorn forest, we saw many individuals of one of the most stunning endemics of Mexico; it was hard to take our eyes off the Orange-breasted Bunting—a kaleidoscope of green, turquoise, yellow, and orange. Red-breasted Chat and Rosy Thrush-Tanager were also admired in the thorn forest. In the evening, we took in the comings and goings at the main ranch pond, where there is always a sighting to savor. A quick look at a Crane Hawk was one reward. Commuting Lilac-crowned Amazons were another.",{"type":54,"attrs":45861,"content":45862},{"textAlign":48},[45863],{"text":45864,"type":52},"In the pines and oaks above Provincia, we scored a couple of great hummingbirds—the stealthy Mexican Hermit and the diminutive Sparkling-tailed Hummingbird among the more common Beryllines. A troop of handsome Spotted Wrens—another endemic—surveyed us in the morning sun from atop an old logging truck. A pair of Gray-crowned Woodpeckers was obliging too. The singing Orange-billed Nightingale-Thrushes serenaded us but had no interest in revealing themselves. While we waited at the hummingbird trees, a parade of overwintering warblers moved through—Nashville, Black-throated Green, Townsend’s, Yellow-throated, and Grace’s, to name a few. Tufted Flycatchers were around too, constantly on the go and chasing their tiny aerial prey. They competed with the Painted Redstarts for our attention.",{"type":54,"attrs":45866,"content":45867},{"textAlign":48},[45868],{"text":45869,"type":52},"We found a few of our targets in the agricultural fields around Cruz de Loreto among the irrigated fields and drying marshes. A trio of Bare-throated Tiger-Herons displaying and sparring in an open field was a wonderful sighting for this often secretive ardeid. An overwintering Peregrine Falcon taking a break on a fence post was admiring the same shorebirds we were scanning through—for different reasons. One of the first ponds we encountered was absolutely alive with birds. Dozens of Wood Storks worked the shallows with a single Roseate Spoonbill. Several hundred Black-bellied Whistling-Ducks roosted on the shoreline while Blue-winged and Cinnamon Teal dabbled in the shallows. Tricolored Heron, Great Egret, and White Ibis were around too. Northern Jacanas screeched at our approach, and on the far shore a few weary dowitchers rested while the other birds carried on. It was an amazing start to our morning. Right along the highway, Marti spotted a stunning Citreoline Trogon, the only male of the whole trip. Mangrove Swallows swooped over fields, and at a burning field we tallied four Swainson’s Hawks sailing through the smoke to take advantage of prey flushed by the fire! In the hedgerows and weedy fields, we found an abundance of overwintering birds mingling with the locals. Orchard Orioles, Painted Buntings, Blue Grosbeaks, and Dickcissels all rubbed shoulders with Cinnamon-rumped and Ruddy-breasted Seedeaters.",{"type":54,"attrs":45871,"content":45872},{"textAlign":48},[45873],{"text":45874,"type":52},"Our final morning at Rancho Primavera saw us enjoying the feeder show. Plain-capped Starthroats were common, with Cinnamon, a few Broad-billed, and Ruby-throated hummingbirds vying for nectar. At the fruit and seed buffet were Yellow Grosbeaks, Cinnamon-bellied Saltators, Blue Mockingbirds, Streak-backed Orioles, and Black-throated Magpie-Jays—quite the lineup for the locals. Along the highway, we finally caught up with West Mexican Chachalacas right in the tiny community of El Columpio; several birds strolled across the soccer field as we admired them. Next, we headed to the Macaw Sanctuary, where they have a couple dozen nest boxes for Military Macaws. While we didn’t see a great variety of birds, we saw several macaws and many observers, like us, enjoying the fruits of this local conservation effort. Our final transit through the bustle of Puerto Vallarta brought us to San Sebastian del Oeste, nestled in the past among pines and oaks. San Sebastian would look like it’s from the eighteenth century if you could just vanish the pickups and power lines. This Pueblo Mágico is worth the visit, with a few great restaurants and charm to spare. We enjoyed our time there, but even more so in the expansive forests surrounding town. Based out of Hacienda Caudillos, we scored endemic birds in the yard; Rusty-crowned Ground-Sparrow, Golden Vireo, and Colima Pygmy-Owl were seen among dozens of species from the deck.",{"type":54,"attrs":45876,"content":45877},{"textAlign":48},[45878],{"text":45879,"type":52},"Above town, at 8,000 feet, pines and fir trees tower above the oaks. Here, on a secluded side road, we sought the rare Aztec Thrush. I was hopeful at first, hearing the American Robins calling and glimpsing them as they moved about; thrushes and robins are often consorts. The Band-tailed Pigeons were around too, a good sign that the fruits luring these birds were still in supply. Then something flushed the pigeons, and with a thunderous rush of wings they were gone, and the robins with them. It was quiet for a while after the flush. We enjoyed good looks at the nifty Collared Towhee, but it wasn’t our target. We stood and waited, and miraculously a trio of Aztec Thrushes flew into the pine in front of us. While we eventually got good scope views of them, they managed to stay behind twigs for much of their stay. There were two males and a female; both plumages are striking, and the rarity of the species always makes seeing them a great reward. Two days in the high-elevation forests gave us many great sightings. Blue-throated and Amethyst-throated Mountain-gems were the big guys that cruised the extensive Salvia flower banks. Rivoli’s Hummingbird perched overhead, and the White-eared Hummingbirds were pretty common. Mixed in were some overwintering Americans: Calliope, Broad-tailed, Rufous, and Allen’s hummingbirds. Mountain Trogons, Black-headed Siskins, Hepatic Tanagers, Slate-throated Redstarts, and Crescent-chested Warblers all inhabit the forests around La Bufa. In the flower banks, the Cinnamon-bellied Flowerpiercers kept a low profile as they “stole” nectar.",{"type":54,"attrs":45881,"content":45882},{"textAlign":48},[45883],{"text":45884,"type":52},"One afternoon, in the verdant forests above San Sebastian, we finally found a cooperative Green-striped Brushfinch. The usually shy species sat for us on a brush pile, betraying its usual nature. Nearby, we found Bumblebee Hummingbirds around, though they were a little more challenging to see than in most years. We saw a male and a female and heard the telltale whir of the male’s wings. Overhead, the orange Flame-colored Tanagers made their presence known. Many of our special birds from the pine forest wore red. We finally glimpsed the Red Warbler; the Red-headed Tanagers were very obliging on a couple of occasions; and the Red-faced Warblers were confiding in their winter homes. Painted and Slate-throated Redstarts rounded out the scheme. We enjoyed more than 30 species of warblers and 18 species of hummingbirds—a testament to the east-meets-west nature of Jalisco. Along with the birds, we enjoyed fantastic meals in Puerto Vallarta, El Tuito, Tehuamixtle, and San Sebastian del Oeste.",{"type":54,"attrs":45886,"content":45887},{"textAlign":48},[45888],{"text":45889,"type":52},"Thank you for traveling through West Mexico with VENT.",{"type":54,"attrs":45891,"content":45892},{"textAlign":48},[45893],{"text":45894,"type":52},"Until our next birding adventure, wherever in the world that may be.",{"type":54,"attrs":45896,"content":45897},{"textAlign":2895},[45898],{"text":45899,"type":52,"marks":45900},"—Brian Gibbons ",[45901],{"type":63,"attrs":45902},{"color":32765},{"type":196},{"type":45,"attrs":45905,"content":45906},{"level":1233,"textAlign":48},[45907,45908],{"type":1363},{"text":5614,"type":52,"marks":45909},[45910,45912],{"type":63,"attrs":45911},{"color":65},{"type":207},{"type":54,"attrs":45914,"content":45915},{"textAlign":48},[45916,45920],{"text":45917,"type":52,"marks":45918},"January 5",[45919],{"type":207},{"text":45921,"type":52}," - Arrival in Puerto Vallarta and introductory birding around Boca de Tomates.

Rain eventually forced us to leave, but we seized the opportunity to check another area, the Santa Lucia bridge, where we found the jewel in the crown, a pair of juvenile male Andean Cock-of-the-rocks displaying on a satellite lek.

The morning did indeed start out in bright sunshine, and we rode four-wheel-drive vehicles five miles along a dirt road to the farm where a “short walk” waited for us. Said walk turned out to be much harder and rougher, requiring two uphill hikes and the crossing of an impressively made bridge.

We even had time to visit the local dump before boarding the ship, where the pretty White-throated Caracara was seen well. After settling in onboard and meeting some of the wonderful crew and staff, we began cruising eastwards along the Beagle Channel, heading for open ocean and the Drake Passage. Chilean Skua, Southern Giant-Petrel, Black-browed Albatross, South American Tern, Kelp and Dolphin gulls, and hundreds of Imperial Cormorants were all duly noted from the very spacious and pleasantly heated aft deck as we cruised the channel.

Our first landing at Gold Harbour was highlighted for many by their first experience of being amongst a massive colony of regal King Penguins, but for me, encountering the infamous South Georgia Pipit (famous for being the most southerly passerine and its impressive rebound after the removal of rats on the island) was most memorable. That same day, at St. Andrew’s Bay, we witnessed another spectacularly huge colony of King Penguins and a beachfront strewn with groups of Elephant and Antarctic Fur seals. The next day was bookmarked by a Zodiac cruise in balmy conditions at Hercules Bay, where our first real Macaroni Penguins delighted, and in the afternoon by a highly anticipated visit to Grytviken. Here we toasted to “the boss” Shackleton at the graveyard, which looks over the old remains of a once bustling whaling port that bears the appearance of a place abandoned almost overnight.

We arrived at the lodge around lunchtime, settled into our cabins, and enjoyed a delicious meal before taking a well-deserved break.

with me and my co-leader, Peter Zika, met a few days early for a pre-trip that took us through the fascinating island of Malta and its wonderful array of cultural and natural offerings. Located in the Mediterranean Sea between Europe and Africa, Malta has been at the center of major historic events, from the construction of some of the oldest temples in the world to the arrival of the Phoenicians, Greeks, and Romans, as well as waves of invasions that included the Ottomans and the rule of the Knights Hospitaller, among many others. Likewise, waves of migrating songbirds fly from breeding grounds in Europe to wintering grounds in the southern hemisphere, using Malta as a stopover habitat to refuel during their long journeys.

Finally, we spent a day in the southern part of the island, visiting the Neolithic monument of Ħaġar Qim, the mysterious cart ruts at “Clapham Junction,” and stunning coastal sites.

A view from the Gardjola Gardens, a small park atop a cliff, revealed sweeping views of the Grand Harbour, the fortifications of the Three Cities, and Valletta across the channel. The garden was built during the period of Grand Master De La Sengle in 1551. Its guard tower features symbolic carvings—a flamingo on one side, a human ear on another, and an eye on the opposite side—representing vigilance over the Maltese coast and warning of approaching enemies. At the park, we heard our first European Robins and even caught glimpses of a Chaffinch. The “Maltese” Spanish Sparrow was ubiquitous, as would be the case throughout our time on the island.

Standing outside one of the impressive fortified gates, we listened as our guide layered historical detail upon historical detail as we prepared to enter Birgu—also known as Vittoriosa, the third of the cities. There, we strolled quiet narrow streets lined with tall stone walls, painted doorways, and hanging balconies. Its peaceful modern atmosphere contrasts sharply with its history.

Our choices included grilled local swordfish or a roasted pork chop, both expertly prepared. We then explored Mdina, Malta’s capital from antiquity through the medieval period. In 1530, when the Order of St. John arrived in Malta, they established their capital at Birgu, and Mdina gradually became a “museum city,” preserving much of its medieval character. It is now on Malta’s tentative list for UNESCO World Heritage status. The city’s layered history spans Romans, the arrival of the Apostle Paul, Arab and Byzantine rule, the Hospitallers, French occupation, and its eventual surrender to British forces. Today it is primarily a tourist destination, and we saw visitors from around the world. From its bastion walls, we enjoyed sweeping views of the surrounding countryside.

two weeks of birding Southeastern Brazil, we tallied nearly 400 species. A stunning 140 were endemic to the Atlantic forests of Brazil and adjacent Argentina and Paraguay. While we were thoroughly chilled in Intervales at the Pica Pau House, a fire on the second night certainly chased the cold away for a few hours. In Ubatuba the much-threatened rain largely held off, though we did have a couple of quiet mornings for bird activity at both locations. Finally, at Itatiaia National Park the weather mostly worked out for us, save one frigid rainy day up at elevation along the Agulhas Negras road forcing us to return on a much nicer day that proved quite successful—cleaning up several of our missing birds. While we dodged traffic leaving Sao Paulo and entering Rio, our travels were largely smooth, thanks to Carlos.",[59191],{"type":63,"attrs":59192},{"color":21},{"text":2912,"type":52,"marks":59194},[59195],{"type":63,"attrs":59196},{"color":32765},{"type":54,"attrs":59198,"content":59199},{"textAlign":2895},[59200,59205],{"text":59201,"type":52,"marks":59202},"Starting in Intervales State Park with the charming brothers Gerson and Betinho as our guides, we stopped by the restaurant on our first afternoon. The feeders made it hard to pull ourselves away, but we needed to settle into the Pica Pau House, where we would stay for the next six nights. Nestled at the edge of the woods, the lodge provided a wonderful base for our explorations of Intervales. So many common birds around the edges and second growth kept us busy our first morning. A highlight was a beautiful male Blond-crested Woodpecker that was working over a small snag and the ants that were living inside. Through the course of our stay, the Pileated Parrots that fed on the fruit tree just off the back porch of the lodge were a daily challenge to find, camouflaged amongst the green leaves of the tree. The big marsh's resident Red-and-white Crakes made us return time and again before finally revealing themselves to us. But each visit produced many other sightings, so we never left empty-handed, even when the crakes didn’t show. Fork-tailed Flycatchers, thornbirds, tyrannulets, and most memorably the Robust Woodpeckers all put in appearances for us in the marsh or around the edges. A couple of treks up the Carmo Road were very productive, allowing us to observe Giant, Tufted, Spot-backed, and White-bearded antshrikes on our visits. At one point we were listening to Giant and Tufted antshrikes when a Black-fronted Piping-Guan clumsily flew overhead; we didn’t know where to look! After those great sightings, we encountered one of the rarest birds of the Atlantic forest. Hearing tapping in the forest, I glimpsed a red crest as a large woodpecker hammered away. When it lifted its head enough for me to see, I knew what it was, but I wanted Rapha to confirm. Rapha, Rapha! RAPHA! I urged him to check out the woodpecker, and he confirmed. We were looking at a female Helmeted Woodpecker, our prize among prizes, not just for the day but for the entire trip. Antbirds and flycatchers filled our lists from our outings on Carmo Road. The endemic Cinnamon-vented Piha that Gerson and Betinho located was a great find. The Rusty-breasted Nunlet was another great but brief encounter up there.",[59203],{"type":63,"attrs":59204},{"color":21},{"text":2912,"type":52,"marks":59206},[59207],{"type":63,"attrs":59208},{"color":32765},{"type":54,"attrs":59210,"content":59211},{"textAlign":2895},[59212,59217],{"text":59213,"type":52,"marks":59214},"An afternoon drive to the Purple-crowned Plovercrest lek was filled with many great sightings. The Bare-throated Bellbird bonking away was certainly a fantastic observation, and the Hooded Berryeaters were vocal but a little more demure about showing themselves this day. As soon as we were out of the car Rapha heard the Serra do Mar Tyrant-Manakin, but that would have to wait, as Betinho was chasing down the calling Plovercrest, so named for the single spike feather jutting off the top of its head like a Northern Lapwing crest from Eurasia. After we got scope views of the stunning little hummingbird, we were free to chase the Tyrant-Manakin, which was more of a challenge. Eventually we all saw the olive-green endemic. Finally, after a few days in Intervales the weather was warming and the birds were singing. Rapha’s bionic ear was superb at picking out the faintest chips or squeaks and luring in said bird moments later. Pygmy-Tyrants, Tyrannulets, Tody-Flycatchers, and Elaenias were all discovered in this manner.",[59215],{"type":63,"attrs":59216},{"color":21},{"text":2912,"type":52,"marks":59218},[59219],{"type":63,"attrs":59220},{"color":32765},{"type":54,"attrs":59222,"content":59223},{"textAlign":2895},[59224,59229],{"text":59225,"type":52,"marks":59226},"The entrance road provided a great afternoon of birding. Orange-breasted Thornbirds came out to the edge of the cattails allowing glimpses while the Blackish Rail called in the background. Gray-throated Warbling Finch and Orange-headed Tanagers were seen at another stop, the only time we encountered these open country birds. The White-eared Puffbirds were a little shy and moved off the road at our approach, but we had good scope views. We also had our single sighting Araucaria Tit-Spinetail in a little grove of the unique Araucaria trees. As the evening progressed, we made our way back to the spot. Along the dirt road was a special place to try to see the Long-trained Nightjar. As we were waiting for it to get dark enough to rouse the nightjar, Gerson and Betinho conjured up a Pavonine Cuckoo that we saw with the aid of the scope and a flashlight. Soon it was dark enough to hear nightbirds. Several Common Potoos screeched in the distance; Short-tailed Nighthawks gave their short, whistled call; and a female Long-trained Nightjar made a couple of brief flyovers. We gave up on the male and headed back to the restaurant for dinner but not before a Rusty-barred Owl couple made an appearance. The following night, the male Long-trained made several flyovers but never sat long enough for perched views. It’s worth mentioning that all our meals were enjoyed at the tiny restaurant just outside of the park. The feeders entertained us each day after breakfast and lunch, and at times we had to pry ourselves away from the action to chase birds of the forest. Ruby-crowned, Olive-green, Chestnut-backed, Burnished-buff, Golden-chevroned, and Green-headed are just some of the colorfully named tanagers we enjoyed there. Our final morning in Intervales was rainy, but we managed a great sighting of Rufous-capped Motmot and Atlantic Black-throated Trogon before the long drive to Ubatuba.",[59227],{"type":63,"attrs":59228},{"color":21},{"text":2912,"type":52,"marks":59230},[59231],{"type":63,"attrs":59232},{"color":32765},{"type":54,"attrs":59234,"content":59235},{"textAlign":2895},[59236,59241],{"text":59237,"type":52,"marks":59238},"Our primary sites out of Ubatuba were Fazenda Angelim and Condominio Verde in the wet lowland forests surrounding Ubatuba. Both sites were rather slow during our visits, but we added many widespread lowland species that were new for us. For many of us the highlights were Folha Seca and Ninho Cabacica feeding stations. While Folha Seca buzzed with ten species of hummers, Ninho was full of hummers and tanagers and seedeaters. Frilled and Festive coquettes were a couple of the more stunning, if tiny hummingbirds. The lineup of 100 Double-collared Seedeaters was a sight to behold at Ninho, along with the Violaceous and Chestnut-bellied euphonias. After an excellent lunch we continued our birding down the road. Rapha produced a Buff-throated Purpletuft moments after we exited the car to everyone’s delight, and the bird even came down for a closer look—a rarity for this tiny endemic canopy inhabitant.",[59239],{"type":63,"attrs":59240},{"color":21},{"text":2912,"type":52,"marks":59242},[59243],{"type":63,"attrs":59244},{"color":32765},{"type":54,"attrs":59246,"content":59247},{"textAlign":2895},[59248,59253],{"text":59249,"type":52,"marks":59250},"Our evening arrival to Paraty allowed for a few minutes of birding down by the mangrove-filled waterfront of this charming colonial town. We found Bicolored Conebill and heard the Gray-cowled Wood-Rail easily in the failing light. Outside of Paraty we birded along the roadside and found our hoped-for Black-hooded Antwren along with several new birds. We had our best looks at the open country Toco Toucan and our only looks—after hearing them for days—at the Lemon-chested Greenlet. Dark-billed Cuckoo, Chestnut-backed Antshrike, and Rufous-tailed Jacamar put in appearances, too. A King Vulture was a majestic sight as it spread its wings and preened as we walked past.",[59251],{"type":63,"attrs":59252},{"color":21},{"text":2912,"type":52,"marks":59254},[59255],{"type":63,"attrs":59256},{"color":32765},{"type":54,"attrs":59258,"content":59259},{"textAlign":2895},[59260,59265],{"text":59261,"type":52,"marks":59262},"Our five nights at Ype Hotel, right in Itatiaia National Park, would be very productive. We eventually made two trips up to Agulhas Negras Road for the high elevation species after our first trip was too wet and cold to produce all the birds we wanted to see. The return trip, despite threatening thunder, was much better for birds and weather up at 8,000 feet. Starting birding was easy; at about 5:10 am the Great Kiskadees and White-eyed Parakeets made so much racket that one was forced to get up to discover what else was around—the answer: quite a bit! The hummingbird feeders were alive with Brazilian Rubys, Black Jacobins, Violet-capped Woodnymphs, and striking White-throated Hummingbirds. Strolling around the grounds were dozens of Dusky-legged Guans raiding the fruit trees of any fruit that was close to being ripe. Maroon-bellied Parakeets joined the raucous White-eyeds in making the early morning chorus, such that it was. Swallow and Magpie tanagers moved throughout the gardens along with the tiny Cobalt-rumped Parrotlets while the Blue-winged Macaw, the largest southeast Brazil parrot, squawked overhead.",[59263],{"type":63,"attrs":59264},{"color":21},{"text":2912,"type":52,"marks":59266},[59267],{"type":63,"attrs":59268},{"color":32765},{"type":54,"attrs":59270,"content":59271},{"textAlign":2895},[59272],{"text":59273,"type":52,"marks":59274},"One evening we ventured out from Hotel Ype at Itatiaia National Park. The sky was threatening as it got dark enough for our target. Then, as the lightning bugs started flying, so did real fireworks. Winds swirled and lightning was arcing through the sky. I thought we might need to delay this outing, but we were there and the rain was holding off. A few hoots we hoped would summon the Tawny-browed Owl from the forest with massive trees surrounding us—another Atlantic forest endemic we wanted to lay eyes on. After several minutes of silence save distant rumbling of the sky, we waited. So, Rapha tried a few calls of a small owl, and within seconds a huge form appeared on a branch nearly overhead. It was the beautiful and huge Tawny-browed Owl.",[59275],{"type":63,"attrs":59276},{"color":21},{"type":54,"attrs":59278,"content":59279},{"textAlign":2895},[59280,59285],{"text":59281,"type":52,"marks":59282},"The frigid and wet day up on Agulhas Negras allowed us to find the endemic toad easily; the thimble-sized gray toad has a riot of color on its belly, a fiery red and black pattern. Due to the rain they were easy to come by. What wasn’t easy to come by were the target birds in the rain, fog, and wind. While we enjoyed some great birds lower down like the exceptional Black-and-gold Cotinga, Black-capped Piprites, Serra do Mar Bristle-Tyrant, and Rufous-tailed Antbird, we would have to return. Fortunately, as we descended we left the rain behind, and we returned to the roadside marsh where we had relished our sighting of the Curl-crested Jays earlier in the day. Yellow-rumped Marshbirds, Narrow-billed Woodcreeper, Grassland Sparrow, and an exceptional trio of Streamer-tailed Tyrants all entertained us as the cloudy gray sky turned to night. Before it was dark our target flew overhead; the Giant Snipe was here and was displaying. We heard it several times and saw it in the spotlight a few times as it flew over the marsh displaying.",[59283],{"type":63,"attrs":59284},{"color":21},{"text":2912,"type":52,"marks":59286},[59287],{"type":63,"attrs":59288},{"color":32765},{"type":54,"attrs":59290,"content":59291},{"textAlign":2895},[59292],{"text":59293,"type":52,"marks":59294},"Our second day in the higher elevations found us targeting Rufous-backed Antvireo, which we encountered at our first stop when one popped up right in front of us, giving exceptional views. Another target was the endemic Green-crowned Plovercrest; we got a female, but that doesn’t quite cut it when you’re talking gorgeous endemic hummingbirds. We searched on and enjoyed Rufous-tailed Antbirds and Diademed Tanagers again. Near a beautiful tree fern a male Plovercrest perched right in front of us, but just for a split second before his rival chased him off and they both disappeared, never to be seen by us again. Relishing the delightful weather we drove higher and higher, eventually returning to the picnic site where we had a frigid picnic a couple of days earlier. Partly cloudy skies and mild temps made for a more enjoyable picnic this day. After lunch, a cooperative pair of Great Pampa-Finches sat up for scope views. We also had a very cooperative pair of Rufous-capped Antshrikes appear for us after struggling in the chill a few days earlier. Another bird that we got much better views of during Agulhas Negras 2.0 was the handsome Bay-chested Warbling Finch. The views in the highlands were spectacular this day, with blue sky and clouds overhead and clouds playing in the mountains around us and valleys below. With a long drive ahead of us, we had to pull ourselves away without a satisfying view of the male Plovercrest. As we walked back to the van, a small dark weasel meandered across the road a couple of times. This beautiful animal was a Grison, a rarely seen prize! Well, Rapha was determined to fix the missing plovercrest. Hanging his head out the window as we drove down, he heard one!  We got out, and to our amazement the bird returned to roadside flowers a couple of times giving us great looks at a stunning male. Carol’s Birthday bird!

Down the road the overlook entertained us one afternoon when a quick stop turned into an hourlong buffet of wonderful sightings. Yellow-eared Woodpecker was the rarest sighting, but the tanagers added lots of color. Swallow Tanagers at arm's length, and Gilt-edged, Burnished-buff, and Golden-chevroned tanagers filled our eyes with joy!

Our group was beginning to assemble, and birds were beginning to move. A Lesser Nighthawk sailed over the tower, our first bird of the tour! Neotropical migrants were already filtering through the tree tops—a Blackburnian Warbler appeared first and was quickly followed by a Bay-breasted Warbler and then a Red-eyed Vireo. Brown-capped Tyrannulets were singing, and with some coaxing, one almost landed on the tower railing. By following its croaking calls, a distant Keel-billed Toucan was spotted on a bare tree. The variety of song in the canopy grew rapidly as the light improved—a Green Shrike-Vireo began to sing, Yellow-throated Toucans yelped in the distance, and a persistent Bright-rumped Attila ushered in the new day. A pair of Mealy Parrots was spotted flying by one side of the deck, and then at almost the same time, a troop of adorable Geoffroy’s Tamarins appeared just below eye level on the other side. The tamarins came in quite close, waiting for their morning banana feeding. A group of Scaled Pigeons rocketed past and were quickly followed by a small cluster of Brown-hooded Parrots. I had completely lost track of my coffee long ago, so I poured a new cup. At that moment, a Black-breasted Puffbird arrived and posed well just below eye level. Moments later, a handsome Squirrel Cuckoo appeared in a nearby bare tree. Just then, Alex spotted a Semiplumbeous Hawk perched up in the valley below us. The Bright-rumped Attila continued to sing quite close, but it seemed to be hiding. Where was it? More important, where was my coffee? Each time a new bird was spotted, the coffee was sat down somewhere. Spiraling around the observation deck, chasing after new sightings, meant losing track of each cup quickly. Half-full cups were scattered about the tables on the deck in haphazard manner. Lesser Greenlet, Golden-hooded Tanager, Scarlet Tanager, Crimson-crested Woodpecker—new birds kept appearing at a regular pace. A Mantled Howler Monkey with its tiny new baby settled in the treetops at eye level allowing wonderful studies, and a seemingly out-of-place Magnificent Frigatebird sailed over the jungle. Finally, someone from the kitchen appeared at the top of the stairs and announced breakfast was ready.

We remained on the observation deck for about another hour or so, tallying several new birds, including a great variety of raptors—a Snail Kite (rare from the tower), a dark morph Hook-billed Kite, a distant Black Hawk-Eagle, a pair of Great Black Hawks, a light morph Short-tailed Hawk, two Crane Hawks, and several small kettles of Broad-winged Hawks.",[70338],{"type":63,"attrs":70339},{"color":21},{"text":2912,"type":52,"marks":70341},[70342],{"type":63,"attrs":70343},{"color":65},{"type":54,"attrs":70345,"content":70346},{"textAlign":2895},[70347,70352],{"text":70348,"type":52,"marks":70349},"By 9:40 or so, we opted to walk down Semaphore Hill along the tower entry road. First though, we paused at the hummingbird feeders at the bottom of the tower. Six species of hummingbirds were swarming about the feeders, including Blue-chested, stunning Violet-bellied, Snowy-bellied (with their white pantaloons), White-necked Jacobin, White-vented Plumeleteer, and a couple of Long-billed Hermits. Being mid-morning, things had quieted down quite a bit as we strolled downhill, but we quickly found an unusually cooperative White-breasted Wood-Wren and a female Black-crowned Antshrike. The remainder of our walk yielded such goodies as a pair of Broad-billed Motmots, Gartered Trogon, Cinnamon Woodpecker, Yellow-throated Toucan, and Green Shrike-Vireo among others. ",[70350],{"type":63,"attrs":70351},{"color":21},{"text":2912,"type":52,"marks":70353},[70354],{"type":63,"attrs":70355},{"color":65},{"type":54,"attrs":70357,"content":70358},{"textAlign":2895},[70359,70364],{"text":70360,"type":52,"marks":70361},"Lunch and a mid-afternoon break ensued.

Blue-gray and Palm tanagers came in almost immediately and were quickly followed by a long list of birds representing pretty much every color of the kaleidoscope. Gray-headed Chachalaca, Whooping Motmot, Rufous Motmot, Red-crowned Woodpecker, Clay-colored Thrush, Red-legged and Green honeycreepers, Plain-colored Tanager, and incomparable Crimson-backed Tanagers all appeared, and no more than twenty feet away!

Incredibly, on our way out, a Great Tinamou was just sitting in the middle of the road sun-bathing. Tinamous are often heard but seldom seen, so this was a prized and unexpected sighting. Alex knew of a spot where Great Potoo sometimes roosts along the highway on our way back.

A small group of Black-and-yellow Tanagers and a Scale-crested Pygmy-Tyrant were found in the parking area. A short hike up the trail itself yielded an absolutely stunning Rufous-winged Tanager (generally rare), in addition to Spotted Woodcreeper, White-ruffed Manakin, Golden-hooded Tanager, Slate-colored Grosbeak, and White-vented Euphonia.

We crept into the forest single file and were able to get both scopes on this wonderful bird. We watched it sing for almost ten minutes, as its body expanded and contracted like bellows.

Heading back to the tower for lunch, we noticed a sizable kettle of migrating raptors over Panama City. Then we saw more flowing into that kettle. We were trapped in traffic, and it seemed there was no way to stop. The more we looked, the more raptors we saw. Finally, I said, “we have to get out and see this.” A quick u-turn took us into a mall parking lot, where everyone jumped out and stared up at the sky in amazement. The number of birds was staggering, filling every corner of the sky. Although it was very difficult to estimate accurately, I thought we were watching a quarter million birds pass over us. The majority were Swainson’s Hawks, but there were large numbers of Turkey Vultures and smaller numbers of Broad-winged Hawks as well. It was an incredibly moving experience, with multiple people telling me afterwards that it brought them to tears.

For this purpose, we headed for the Cassowary Coast, a one-hour drive south of Cairns.

morning of our third day began with a drive to Yaviza, followed by a thirty-minute boat ride up the Rio Chucunaque and another short drive into the village of Pirre #2. Finally, a short three-quarter mile hike over a flat but somewhat muddy trail through the forest brought us to the site. Just ahead of us, a giant cuipo tree towered overhead and over the rest of the forest. We were so close now. Our pulses raced as we approached the tree. From a small cleared area in the jungle, we looked out and upward at a crotch on the left side of this impressive tree. There, atop a massive bundle of sticks, sat the object of our quest, the undisputed avian king of the jungle—a truly magnificent adult Harpy Eagle in full view. It was a moment that simply took our breath away and caused audible gasping. The view was unobstructed as the female perched up on the side of the huge nest. She called intermittently, hoping for the male to bring her some food. No other sound could be heard. Our eyes remained glued to the tree. We could not look away. It was simply magical. We were able to soak in the experience of seeing the most iconic bird of the Neotropics for nearly sixty minutes.

Not far outside of Panama City, we tallied Savanna Hawk, Gray-lined Hawk, White-tailed Kite, Southern Lapwing, and Saffron Finch in brief roadside stops. Migrant raptors were soon much in evidence with large kettles of Broad-winged Hawks (an estimated 25,000 for the day!) and Turkey Vultures funneling eastward, interspersed with small numbers of Mississippi Kites and Swainson’s Hawks. Our first real stop was at Lago Bayano less than two hours from Panama City. A very cooperative female Barred Antshrike was quickly followed by a pair of scolding Isthmian Wrens. A male Ruddy-breasted Seedeater was spotted, a Zone-tailed Hawk sailed overhead, and a Bat Falcon posed atop the bridge. Where to look first? Venturing across the bridge, we tallied Whooping Motmot, Buff-breasted Wren, Limpkin, Cocoi Heron, and Streaked Saltator among others. A couple more stops along the highway produced a wonderful Pearl Kite, Slaty-tailed and Black-tailed trogons, a pair of White-necked Puffbirds, a Striped Cuckoo, Laughing Falcon, and some very close Mantled Howler Monkeys.

Feeders at the restaurant were not as busy as normal but did yield a couple of striking Snowy-bellied Hummingbirds, as well as Orange-chinned Parakeet, Common Tody-Flycatcher, and Red-legged Honeycreeper in the nearby trees. By 4 PM, we had made it to the Canopy Camp. As we stepped up onto the deck overlooking the Camp grounds, we were immediately greeted by a flurry of activity at the hummingbird feeders. Birds were swarming about at a dizzying pace. In short order, we tallied eight species of hummingbirds, including the likes of White-necked Jacobin, Black-throated Mango, Long-billed Starthroat, Pale-bellied Hermit, Sapphire-throated Hummingbird, and the incomparable Violet-bellied Hummingbird.",[72871],{"type":63,"attrs":72872},{"color":21},{"text":2912,"type":52,"marks":72874},[72875],{"type":63,"attrs":72876},{"color":65},{"type":54,"attrs":72878,"content":72879},{"textAlign":2895},[72880,72885],{"text":72881,"type":52,"marks":72882},"A couple of Chestnut-headed Oropendolas arrived at the bananas and were soon chased out by adorable Geoffroy’s Tamarins.

A dapper Cinnamon Woodpecker allowed epic views and was followed by a White-tailed Trogon. Both Golden-collared and Golden-headed manakins were spied in some fruiting bushes just off the deck.

In that hour, we had wonderful looks at four species of trogons—Slaty-tailed, Black-tailed, White-tailed, and Gartered, all without leaving the outdoor deck. A noisy band of Greater Anis appeared in the garden. Whooping Motmots allowed crippling studies. A lone Crested Oropendola chased away some Chestnut-headed Oropendolas and was then chased by a troop of White-throated Capuchins looking for trouble. A female Blue Cotinga lit in the top of a tree, a pair of Purple-throated Fruitcrows gave a brief appearance, a Keel-billed Toucan popped in to sample the bananas, and macaw-like screeches revealed a couple of Red-throated Caracaras on the periphery of the Camp.

Additionally, we added a spectacular pair of Spot-breasted Woodpeckers, Amazon Kingfisher, Lesser Kiskadee, Fork-tailed Flycatcher, Pied Water-Tyrant, and a family group of Bicolored Wrens (quite rare in Panama).

Our primary target, however, was the highly-sought Dusky-backed Jacamar—a species restricted to a small portion of Panama and Colombia. We landed at a banana plantation where Eliecer has seen the species before. Almost immediately, we were distracted by scope views of a Blue Ground Dove, more Spectacled Parrotlets, a male Bare-crowned Antbird, and a pair of Yellow-tailed Orioles. After a short walk further into the forest, we found a pair of jacamars sitting out in the open in a cecropia.

In the morning hours, we had great scope views of both Slaty-tailed Trogon and Collared Trogon, each beautiful in its own way. A Northern Plain-Xenops was seen scooching down a little vine, as they do, and a total of seven species of tanagers were seen! Point-blank views of Tawny-crested and Silver-throated tanagers stole the show. No fewer than five Blackburnian Warblers flitted in the canopy overhead, while both a Golden-winged and Canada Warbler skulked below. Cara Iguana was full of highlights too, as we took the light walk downhill among the corridor of green. An elusive Rosy Thrush-Tanager’s song was heard, and the bird was briefly seen by some. A Panama Flycatcher sang out in the open, and a beautiful Lineated Woodpecker was seen through the scope as our first day concluded.

As we left town, we enjoyed a nice comparison view of Gray-breasted Martins and Blue-and-white Swallows roosting together. Our day in the cloud forest was magical. From the start, we enjoyed views of amazing birds like two different Northern Emerald-Toucanets, a chatty flock of Common Chlorospingus, a delightfully tiny Scale-crested Pygmy-Tyrant, and many more. As we made our way to our lunch stop, two stunning White Hawks soared over our heads. It was a magical moment to gaze upward and enjoy their beauty. Two Mountain Elaenias were seen just before the picnic, a species often found a bit west of the tour and a lifer for all (except Tino)! Golden-hooded Tanagers welcomed us to the picnic area. A walk through the Biodiversity Trail afterward was captivating. It was a treat to walk through this old-growth stand of cloud forest . . . deep breaths and solitude among ancient trees. The tranquility of the river and massive trees was fantastic. We enjoyed birds like Dull-mantled Antbird and Spotted Barbtail among the beautiful curtains of green. When we got back to the lodge that evening, a beautiful Rufous Motmot was enjoying the feast of fresh fruit served for the birds.

On our first stop of the morning, with patience and careful focus, we set our sights on a Wedge-tailed Grass-Finch, a specialist of the grassy hills. As the morning continued, we saw a male Lance-tailed Manakin, Gray-headed Kite, Olive-sided Flycatcher, and even a Ferruginous Pygmy-Owl! We scored some House Sparrows that live around the gas station we visit for a bathroom break (it’s the main chance to see them throughout the travels on our tour and a fun game to look for them). Elusive Crested Bobwhites were seen well as the morning progressed. Nice comparisons of Crested and Yellow-headed caracaras ensued in the lowlands. At one point, several Lesser Yellow-headed Vultures were soaring nearby, including one right over our heads! It was a thrilling morning. We spent some time enjoying the beach scene and did some local birding before a fresh-made lunch, with some of the birds observed including up-close Magnificent Frigatebirds, two distant Cocos Boobies through the scope, and Willet and Sanderlings on the beach, to name a few. Away from the beach, we had Barred Antshrike and Rufous-browed Peppershrike.

Later in the day, we enjoyed both Tawny-capped and White-vented euphonias, as well as several more Collared Trogons! Before lunch, we enjoyed a tiny Spotted Barbtail and the rare and large Brown-billed Scythebill! In the afternoon, we saw six species of beautiful hummingbirds at our friend Kathy’s yard, where she attracted them with fresh hummingbird food. The up-close views were incredible—we could see the pink feet of the Bronze-tailed Plumeleteers! The massive Green-crowned Brilliants stole the show at times, and the flashy Green Hermit was speedy as ever.

It was fun to study the Red-legged Honeycreepers, and by the end of the morning, we had seen the three possible species of saltator from this one area (Buff-throated, Black-headed, and Streaked).

participants continued on from our Grand Australia Part I adventure and were joined by three more keen travelers in Brisbane, where Part II begins. Our first stop on our way out of Brisbane was the grounds of an unassuming tertiary college. This area of Brisbane is known for its high density of furry, leaf-eating bears, and it didn't take long for Ed to spot our first Koala up in a large gum tree. After a couple of other productive stops, we made it to the famous O'Reilly's Lodge nestled up in the ranges of Lamington National Park, looking over an ancient caldera known as the Scenic Rim. ",[75815],{"type":63,"attrs":75816},{"color":32765},{"type":54,"attrs":75818,"content":75819},{"textAlign":48},[75820],{"text":75821,"type":52,"marks":75822},"We enjoyed two days of excellent birding around the lodge and adjacent national park. The highlight of our first day was a quick spotlight session before dinner, when we had a wonderful sighting of the localized southern subspecies of Marbled Frogmouth. Albert's Lyrebird proved to be shy this year, but eventually we all locked eyes on these huge songbirds scratching away in the rainforest understory. Noisy Pitta, Bassian Thrush, and Australian Logrunner were comparatively confiding this year, with great views of multiple individuals. We also enjoyed a trifecta of monarchs—Black-faced, Australian Spectacled, and the scarce White-eared. The latter was seen while we were enjoying a wonderful afternoon session at a small pond where numerous forest species were coming in to drink in the dry conditions. Other memorable sightings included the spectacular and obnoxious parrots and bowerbirds, as well as Paradise Riflebird, Rose Robin, confiding Eastern Shrike-tit, several impressive Carpet Pythons, and close looks at a Rainforest Dragon. ",[75823],{"type":63,"attrs":75824},{"color":32765},{"type":54,"attrs":75826,"content":75827},{"textAlign":2895},[75828],{"text":75829,"type":52,"marks":75830},"From O’Reilly's we wound our way back into Brisbane for our flight to Cairns in the endemic-rich, far north region of Queensland, arriving at the lovely Kingfisher Park lodge that same evening. Based at the lodge (run by the wonderful Carol and Andrew) for three nights, we made excursions out to the drier western parts of the northern Atherton Tablelands, local patches of mountain rainforest, and along the tropical lowland waterways of the Daintree. Our boat trip on the Daintree River (with the capable Murray Hunt at the wheel) was full of highlights this year—with the tiny Little Kingfisher contrasting spectacularly with the hulking Great-billed Heron. Around Julatten and the lodge itself, we racked up an impressive list of species, with one afternoon session alone yielding close looks at Yellow-breasted Boatbill, Pied Monarch, Lovely Fairywren, and Barred Cuckooshrike. A visit to the drier woodlands around Mt. Carbine and Maryfarms was enjoyable, with Pale-headed Rosella, Blue-winged Kookaburra, Great Bowerbird, Squatter Pigeon, and displaying Australian Bustard making for another memorable outing. ",[75831],{"type":63,"attrs":75832},{"color":32765},{"type":54,"attrs":75834,"content":75835},{"textAlign":2895},[75836],{"text":75837,"type":52,"marks":75838},"Our time in Julatten had come to an end, but before heading to Cairns, we spent an action-packed day exploring the southern parts of the Atherton Tablelands. We began in the cloud forests of Mt. Hypipamee NP, where a cosmic male Golden Bowerbird was waiting for us at his bower! If that weren't enough, we located a male Victoria's Riflebird displaying from his perch over the bathrooms. The hits kept coming, and we added Tooth-billed Bowerbird, Gray-headed Robin, and Atherton Scrubwren (three classic endemics of the wet tropics) to our growing list. After a great start, we lunched at the excellent Tarzali Lakes, where several Platypus obliged. The rest of the day continued in a similar fashion, with better looks at Tooth-billed Bowerbird calling above his display perch, Sarus Cranes in the fields near Yungaburra, and a pair of charismatic Chowchillas foraging along a rainforest creek. ",[75839],{"type":63,"attrs":75840},{"color":32765},{"type":54,"attrs":75842,"content":75843},{"textAlign":2895},[75844],{"text":75845,"type":52,"marks":75846},"The following day we traded the highlands for the lowlands around Cairns and Innisfail. A pre-breakfast outing to the Cairns Esplanade (across the road from our hotel) helped kick off our list of shorebirds, and then later, just south of Cairns, we successfully twitched a pair of Little Curlews; for our efforts we were additionally rewarded with a bonus pair of Eastern Yellow Wagtails (rare migrants) and a flock of Crimson Finches. The patches of lowland coastal rainforest around Innisfail are known haunts for cassowaries, but this year we visited a different site instead of our usual location (where the birds have become unnervingly habituated) and immediately struck gold when a pair of adult Southern Cassowaries were spotted standing in the shade beside the road! The afternoon involved a relaxed visit to the parklands of Centenary Lakes in Cairns, where a roosting Rufous Owl was a great find. A quick check at the north end of the esplanade also yielded Torresian Kingfisher and a gorgeous Rose-crowned Fruit-Dove. ",[75847],{"type":63,"attrs":75848},{"color":32765},{"type":54,"attrs":75850,"content":75851},{"textAlign":48},[75852],{"text":75853,"type":52,"marks":75854},"We timed our day out on the Great Barrier Reef perfectly this year, as we enjoyed perfect conditions on the water, whereas heavy rain persisted for most of the day onshore. Michaelmas Cay was marvelous, with birds everywhere we looked and stunning blue seas lapping at the white sand. We spent almost an hour on the cay studying a variety of terns, three species of boobies, and thousands of Brown Noddies, all while Greater Frigatebirds wheeled over. After lunch onboard, we motored over to Hastings Reef and enjoyed a bout of snorkeling over a relatively healthy section of reef with a particularly impressive variety of large fish. ",[75855],{"type":63,"attrs":75856},{"color":32765},{"type":54,"attrs":75858,"content":75859},{"textAlign":2895},[75860],{"text":75861,"type":52,"marks":75862},"The next morning we had a relaxed transfer to the airport and flight to Melbourne in the southern state of Victoria. We were soon on the road in our brand-new bus and headed north towards the goldfields city of Bendigo. Before arriving at our hotel for the night, we spent a short afternoon session birding around Crusoe Reservoir, getting nice looks at a variety of totally new species more typical of the drier grassy box-woodlands found in southeastern Australia. ",[75863],{"type":63,"attrs":75864},{"color":32765},{"type":54,"attrs":75866,"content":75867},{"textAlign":2895},[75868],{"text":75869,"type":52,"marks":75870},"Pleasant conditions and our first bakery breakfast of the trip made for a cheery start the next day. Not long after, we were birding the whipstick mallee and box woodlands of the Greater Bendigo NP. Purple-crowned and Musk lorikeets were located in a small grove of flowering eucalypts, while further into the mallee began an onslaught of new honeyeater species: Yellow-plumed, Purple-gaped, Brown-headed, Yellow-tufted, White-fronted, and Tawny-crowned, just to name a few! Excellent views of the scarce Black-eared Cuckoo and Shy Heathwren added to an already fantastic morning. From Bendigo we traveled northwest, making several more stops before arriving in the small town of Ouyen for two nights. ",[75871],{"type":63,"attrs":75872},{"color":32765},{"type":54,"attrs":75874,"content":75875},{"textAlign":2895},[75876],{"text":75877,"type":52,"marks":75878},"We spent a full day around Ouyen and the nearby Hattah-Kulkyne NP, with local Ricky Marks keeping us company for the morning. Ricky took us to a local patch of private mallee and revegetation owned by his family, where a Southern Scrub-Robin welcomed us. A short walk later led us to the mound of the mysterious Malleefowl, where a well-trained pair were already in attendance. We often have great views of Malleefowl at this location; however, this year we witnessed a truly remarkable session as the pair progressed from casual scratching to full-blown excavation and eventual egg-laying—all while we stood less than 10 feet away! It was a seriously special encounter and one all of us will certainly remember. Our afternoon outing was another great success—kicking off with wonderful views of stunning Regent Parrots in giant river red gums beside Lake Hattah, before happening across a remarkably confiding family of the usually-devilish Striated Grasswren. ",[75879],{"type":63,"attrs":75880},{"color":32765},{"type":54,"attrs":75882,"content":75883},{"textAlign":2895},[75884],{"text":75885,"type":52,"marks":75886},"A pair of glamorous Pink Cockatoos on the wires provided a fitting farewell as we departed Ouyen the next morning for the riverina town of Deniliquin (or “Deni”). Along the way we stopped in at several wetland sites adjacent to the Murray River. Near Swan Hill, thousands of ducks of several varieties were observed, plus Australian and Baillon's crakes, Red-necked Avocet, Black-tailed Nativehen, and a Black Falcon that circled over our heads.

We started close to the center of town in the river red gum forests, where a great array of small passerines were dutifully located, but the great highlight was undoubtedly the breathtaking views we had of a trio of Superb Parrots. Phil had all the birds on a string, and we enjoyed uninterrupted views of nesting Tawny Frogmouth and the scarce Square-tailed Kite amongst others. In the afternoon, we ventured north out of town towards the vast, treeless Hay plain. On the way, we stopped at several sites where Phil has personally revegetated areas of cleared public land into wonderfully diverse oases. Striped, Black, and Painted honeyeaters were all great additions here. Out on the plains, even further north, mobs of Red and Western Gray kangaroos mingled with Emus as the sun set over this remarkable area of native grassland carefully managed by local sheep farmers. The quality of the habitat is reason why the enigmatic Plains-wanderer can be found here, and once the darkness had settled in, we did just that—encountering at least four separate males in this unique grassland (with the assistance of thermal monoculars). ",[75895],{"type":63,"attrs":75896},{"color":32765},{"type":1363},{"text":75899,"type":52,"marks":75900},"The following morning we bade Deni farewell and made for Melbourne. Of course, we stopped along the way for some final birding and were rewarded with nice looks at several new species around Heathcote—Black-chinned and Fuscous honeyeaters and the songful Speckled Warbler. We made it to Melbourne in the early afternoon and savored one more excellent meal together as a group, reminiscing on a fantastic trip full of many memorable moments! ",[75901],{"type":63,"attrs":75902},{"color":32765},{"type":54,"attrs":75904,"content":75905},{"textAlign":2895},[75906],{"text":75907,"type":52,"marks":75908},"Top

drive down to Wakkerstroom passed through a mosaic of open natural grasslands and croplands, many being prepared for spring plantings. Conditions were windy, and birding was generally slow, but around halfway, I picked up the distinctive shapes of two Secretarybirds striding through the grassland next to the road. I pulled off onto the verge, and we watched as these iconic birds methodically searched through the veld. Some of the participants exited the minibus to take photographs, and the birds took off—giving excellent flight views. Back on the road, and closer to Wakkerstroom, there was another pair of these stately “terrestrial eagles” next to the road. We watched as one of the birds suddenly dashed after something it had startled.

Closer to Dirkiesdorp, we came across a male Denham’s Bustard strutting along a rise, his incredible gleaming white neck feathers fully puffed out and creating a signal visible for miles across the rolling hills. With a couple of “knock me down” calls, Norman located a pair of White-bellied Bustards moving slowly down the valley below us—our third bustard species for the day!",{"type":54,"attrs":77758,"content":77759},{"textAlign":48},[77760],{"text":77761,"type":52},"Next, we came across a group of four of these beautiful small bustards feeding next to the road, and then another pair—even closer this time, and in more open habitat.

A stop in mixed bush and grassland gave us our first Drakensberg Prinias, while our next stop, in a patch of scrubby forest, produced a stunning male Greater Double-collared Sunbird!

We had the rail responding but failed to catch even a glimpse of this skulker, and there were no sounds from the flufftail—a species we’ve seen well on some previous tours. We did, however, have an amazingly cooperative Red-throated Wryneck on the bridge, calling from only yards away for several minutes. We then headed back for breakfast.",{"type":54,"attrs":77773,"content":77774},{"textAlign":48},[77775],{"text":77776,"type":52},"We had missed Ground Woodpecker on the Cape leg of the main tour and, after breakfast and packing, we headed for Zaaihoek Dam in hopes of finally catching up with this unusual endemic. We stopped on the bridge over the outflow from the dam and carefully scanned the rock outcrops along the river. A splash of orange, black, and white on the rocks near the traditional woodpecker perch drew our attention to a pair of Mocking Cliff-Chats—a new species for the combined tour. Then a distant series of “chack… chack” calls focused our search on a particular section of rocky cliff, and there they were—two birds perched on the rocks looking down at us. I set the scope on them, and the group enjoyed long, repeated views of these great birds, at times with a male Cape Rock-Thrush in the same view.",{"type":54,"attrs":77778,"content":77779},{"textAlign":48},[77780],{"text":77781,"type":52},"Heading back to Wakkerstroom and onward toward Johannesburg, we flushed a Mountain Wheatear from the side of the road—another new bird for the combined tours.",{"type":54,"attrs":77783,"content":77784},{"textAlign":48},[77785],{"text":77786,"type":52},"After our great drive down two days earlier, we were hoping for more Secretarybirds, but a strong wind was blowing and birds were scarce. The weather was changing, and by the time we reached Suikerbosrand Nature Reserve, it was starting to rain. This was the last stop of the tour, and we were hoping for a number of new species, so we took advantage of a gap in the showers to search the picnic area. First up were a party of White-browed Sparrow-Weavers, followed by some Grosbeak Weavers and several Black-fronted Bulbuls, their striking red eyes and eye-rings setting them apart from the Cape and Common bulbuls we had seen earlier on the main tour. We also had some great close views of a pair of Mocking Cliff-Chats.

Manu Road is one of the most extraordinary birding destinations on the planet. During our journey, we explored a remarkable variety of habitats and, as expected, the diversity and abundance of birds were simply breathtaking. Our adventure began in Cusco, where our group of five fearless travelers arrived eager to explore. From the Inca capital, we drove through the scenic southern valley, making our first stop at the town of Oropesa, where we picked up some delicious chuta bread, a local sweet specialty. Continuing to the Ramsar site of Huacarpay, we observed our first Andean species, such as Puna Teal, Puna Ibis, White-tufted Grebe, and Andean Gull, and had great views of Plumbeous Rail. After a well-deserved break with coca tea and snacks, we explored a nearby pre-Inca archaeological site, a fascinating glimpse into how ancient Peruvians cultivated and adapted to their mountain environment.",{"type":54,"attrs":78139,"content":78140},{"textAlign":48},[78141],{"text":78142,"type":52},"Our next destination was the charming colonial town of Paucartambo, where we enjoyed lunch at a local restaurant surrounded by a hummingbird garden. Here, we were greeted by the majestic Giant Hummingbird, the endemic Green-and-white Hummingbird, and the dainty White-bellied Woodstar. From there, we ascended to Acjanacu Pass (12,000 ft.), the official entrance to Manu National Park. As we began our descent into the cloud forest, an unexpected storm limited our birding stops, but by late afternoon we had arrived safely at our comfortable lodge in San Pedro (5,000 ft.), our base for three nights.

The lush cloud forest remains one of my favorite habitats, alive with mosses, orchids, ferns, and countless creatures adapted to its misty layers.

This “mega” rarity is often documented as close as the Dakotas but isn’t on the radar for Minnesota, let alone for the timing of our tour. This female-plumaged bird was so beautiful, showing off her cool brown tones, streaked flanks, and bold gray beak of heavy proportions. Around her fed several White-crowned Sparrows and White-throated Sparrows, as did some Swainson’s Thrushes that perched in the branches, feeding on occasional berries to fuel their migration. All within the one parking lot, we enjoyed spruce-top-foraging Cape May Warblers that fed against the sky as Northern Flickers migrated by. Nearby we saw Magnolia Warblers, American Redstarts, Black-and-white Warblers, a Blackpoll Warbler, and more (eight species of warblers on our first evening out). Dark-eyed Juncos provided the ground-feeding ambience.

Within moments of arriving in the vast realm of Sax-Zim Bog, we found ourselves looking at Northern Harriers and American Pipits. Once in the deep-woods habitat, both kinglet species (Golden-crowned and Ruby-crowned) came into view, each tiny and delightfully dapper in their own way. Before lunch we enjoyed views of a pair of Trumpeter Swans, likely the ones that nest right there in the bog throughout the summer. Among the fields we also saw an American Kestrel, Eastern Bluebirds, and more. We found free-roaming Wild Turkeys feeding along field edges. A flock of introduced Helmeted Guineafowl brought some silly smiles to our faces (they weren’t on the radar for any of us) as they shuffled around their owner’s yard. In the afternoon we explored some new areas we had not checked earlier and made an obligatory visit to the Friends of Sax-Zim Bog Welcome Center. While birding the parking lot of the Welcome Center, we enjoyed views of Broad-winged Hawks, Sharp-shinned Hawks, and a Turkey Vulture migrating overhead. The Sax-Zim Bog staff and good energy were as welcoming as always. Heading down into the fields, we enjoyed amazing views of Lapland Longspurs perching alongside the road (one was in a bush at eye level, seen well from the van). On our way out we visited one of the boardwalks that meanders through old-growth bog habitat. The ambience was magical as we walked among ancient towering spruces and tamaracks. High-energy, adorable Red Squirrels fed on their favorite logs nearby as we left the boardwalk. Several of us opted for the legendary wild rice and walleye at the restaurant of choice that evening. Yum!",{"type":54,"attrs":84468,"content":84469},{"textAlign":48},[84470],{"text":84471,"type":52},"The next day we enjoyed another tasty breakfast in the field, as we had the day before, and made our way along Park Point. A chatty Merlin flew over us at the first spot before we locked our sights on a gorgeous Chestnut-sided Warbler and several Yellow-rumped Warblers. The sun was at our backs, and the foliage tips glowed with vibrant fall colors. Northern Flickers were seen moving through, and we had a glimpse of a Hermit Thrush. Over the course of a casual half-mile walk, primarily from two trees dubbed the “magical trees,” we saw no fewer than THIRTY-FOUR Brown Creepers flying past. It was unreal. These southbound birds would occasionally perch in the canopy of the trees as they flew over the sand dunes and dune grass. There were a few moments when we saw five Brown Creepers in the trees at one time (like 4–5 in one binocular view). Personally, I have never seen so many Brown Creepers in my life, even having worked at various bird-counting locations over the years, and the Brown Creeper spectacle alone was a thrill. Nearby juniper trees were full of Golden-crowned Kinglets (we counted 28 of them, with one Ruby-crowned Kinglet mixed in). Lapland Longspurs and a few sky-high Bobolinks flew past us, as did four species of warblers on our walk. Seeing open-winged Northern Flickers flying past, with their radiant yellow wings, was downright magical. What an exciting morning we had.",{"type":54,"attrs":84473,"content":84474},{"textAlign":48},[84475],{"text":84476,"type":52},"After a fun picnic lunch, we had a wonderful experience up at Hawk Ridge, a prominent part of this tour that we revisited several times. Just as we were pulling up to Hawk Ridge for our first visit, we saw that one of the friendly naturalists was showing and educating about an in-hand, recently banded Sharp-shinned Hawk. I quickly dropped everyone off there instead of heading to the formal parking area down the road, as this was a big treat to see a bird up close, and the clock was ticking before the bird would be released. We got our lawn chairs lined up for hawkwatching and enjoyed the views to come on this picture-perfect day to be outside. While at Hawk Ridge that afternoon, we enjoyed no fewer than seventy Sharp-shinned Hawks, twenty Bald Eagles, seventeen Broad-winged Hawks, a Red-tailed Hawk, and several Merlins and American Kestrels, too. An Osprey was seen passing by on the lakeside, and it was fun to study and compare IDs among the eagles we had seen earlier. It was exciting to see a squadron of American White Pelicans come flying overhead. Later that evening, after an early-planned dinner, we made our way back to Hawk Ridge for an owl banding workshop, a special part of this tour. Calm conditions are what is hoped for with owl banding, and that evening there was barely a noticeable draft at most (favorable), with cooler temperatures setting in, all great for detecting owls. We met up with my friend Margie Menzies from Hawk Ridge, who hosted the owl program that night. Throughout just over two hours we enjoyed four different Northern Saw-whet Owls in the hand. It was exciting to see how they were banded, with the banders taking great care in handling them. With our group size of four birders this year, everyone got to hold a Northern Saw-whet Owl! These adorably fierce and incredible owls are amazing to see up close—and to hold, too. Some people count sheep when they fall asleep. I think we went to bed counting hawks and owls that night. What a fun day it was!",{"type":54,"attrs":84478,"content":84479},{"textAlign":48},[84480],{"text":84481,"type":52},"On our next morning, we made our way to Wisconsin Point to mix up the scenery and provide a different angle of what makes the sense of place around the area so special. Along the beach we saw over 1,600 gulls collectively, with most of them being Ring-billed Gulls of various ages. American Herring Gulls were seen and studied, and with some careful scanning we locked our sights on both a young Lesser Black-backed Gull and, complementing the western winds from earlier days, a Franklin’s Gull. The Franklin’s Gull was a lifer for many on the trip, which was fun! I am a believer that, as complex and challenging as gulls are, learning about them and teaching about them can be fun if done in the right manner. We discussed pointers of what to look for, little by little, as the identification pieces came together. We took time to appreciate the small details of the gulls and had a great time. At the first Wisconsin Point birding area we found five species of ducks (Blue-winged Teal, American Wigeon, Northern Pintail, Redhead, and Ring-necked Duck). Good comparisons of American Crow and Common Raven ensued. Later on we saw two Peregrine Falcons (one soaring and one perched) and some migrating Sandhill Cranes, with opportunities to study their distinct wingbeats and profiles in flight. An afternoon at Hawk Ridge was another joy with the great weather we had. During our few hours at the overlook, we witnessed ten species of raptors plus Turkey Vultures. It was neat to see Peregrine Falcon, Merlin, and American Kestrel during our visit that afternoon, achieving the falcon sweep for the day.",{"type":54,"attrs":84483,"content":84484},{"textAlign":48},[84485],{"text":84486,"type":52},"The last day of our tour always comes too soon. We were fortunate to have favorable weather conditions for yet another day. On this day we made our way up the shore to a few scenic places to enjoy morning flight. We visited select areas for savoring this spectacle. We started birding right along Lake Superior as the sun came up, and it was such a beautiful morning. An early morning Northern Harrier and Bald Eagle were seen migrating by as the sun rose. Waves of Blue Jays and a trickle of Northern Flickers fluttered through the air, as did Cedar Waxwings and flocks of Pine Siskins. At one of our earlier spots, we got to see a beautiful Lincoln’s Sparrow out in the early morning light, as well as several Red-breasted Nuthatches both flying by and feeding in the trees. A Horned Grebe was seen resting out in the open water. One of the birds possible at the timing of this tour (annual for the area but uncommon) is Harris’s Sparrow. Throughout the trip, we had checked a few places earlier and hadn’t seen one… yet. While birding the town of Two Harbors, we explored a lengthy stretch of scrubby grasses. With patience and appreciation, we found a Harris’s Sparrow, and we all got both binocular and scope views. A lifer for many. There was much to celebrate that morning, with birds of air, water, forest, and field. We made a brief visit to my apartment for a restroom break and some yard birding. It was fun to see chickadees feeding up close at the window feeder.",{"type":54,"attrs":84488,"content":84489},{"textAlign":48},[84490],{"text":84491,"type":52},"Our last visit at Hawk Ridge was another wonderful experience, as we enjoyed an exciting movement of raptors.

Along Lady Carrington Drive (an old convict road that follows the edge of the Hacking River) the birds came thick and fast, as is often the case on our first day in proper forest. Green Catbird showed up; Variegated Fairywrens elicited gasps; Australian Rufous Fantail and Black-faced Monarch were recently returned; three species of scrubwrend were compared; a surprise Rockwarbler was a great find; and the much-desired Superb Lyrebird scratched around atop a sandstone boulder right beside the trail. After a great lunch at Audley (complete with Sulphur-crested Cockatoos at our table), we headed to the coastal heaths and dramatic cliff-faces at Wattamolla.

Howard Springs was next, and Rainbow Pitta eventually behaved for us with great views of one hopping along the track in front of us.

We quickly tracked it down and enjoyed great looks at this very scarce and poorly known inhabitant of good quality savanna woodlands. It turned out to be a very birdy locale, with highlights being the golden-backed form of Black-chinned Honeyeater, black-capped Varied Sittellas, more Hooded Parrots, Cockatiel, White-winged Triller, and several Antilopine Kangaroos.

Our stroll gave us a wonderful introduction to the incredible diversity of the fynbos, the most diverse floral kingdom on the planet. The proteas, restios, and ericas (or heaths) in the different beds provided a colorful background for a succession of endemic birds—all new for the group. Cape Bulbuls, Southern Boubous, Southern Double-collared Sunbirds, Cape Sugarbirds, Karoo Prinias, and Forest Canaries were quickly added, along with Amethyst and Malachite Sunbirds and a number of other more widespread species—all in the most spectacular setting imaginable!

The skies were overcast, a strong northerly wind was blowing, and most wildlife was sheltering out of sight. We did, however, find a solitary Bontebok—a strikingly pied antelope endemic to the Cape—plus a family of Common Ostriches at Olifantsbos. There was also the customary group of Cape Fur Seals on the rocks at the Cape of Good Hope, along with rows of Cape Cormorants and the occasional Cape Gannet whipping past offshore. There were also several more ostriches—incongruously set against the angry seas—feeding next to the road. For many, the day’s birding highlight came at our next stop, Boulders Beach, Simon’s Town, on our way back to the hotel. We were on the footpath above the rocks, enjoying great close views of African Penguins and Cape Rock Hyrax, when a couple of penguins came waddling down the path towards us. They stopped only feet away, seemingly glaring at the different sets of shoes in their way.

The number of birds was overwhelming, and picking out the odd Wilson’s Storm Petrel or Sabine’s Gull in the chaos proved challenging, but we all had great views of White-capped, Black-browed, and Indian Yellow-nosed Albatrosses, as well as Cape (or Pintado), Soft-plumaged, and Northern Giant Petrels, and Sooty Shearwaters.",{"type":54,"attrs":87271,"content":87272},{"textAlign":48},[87273],{"text":87274,"type":52},"The spiny renosterveld (rhino bush) of the West Coast National Park was buzzing during our visit, with Bokmakierie, White-throated and Yellow Canaries, Karoo Scrub-Robins, White-backed Mousebirds, and Chestnut-vented Warblers among the new birds recorded during our stay. Highlights included several great views of the spectacular endemic Black Harriers hunting over the scrub, and an ultra-close view of a female Black Bustard walking through the flowers with a young chick—a first on these tours.

Our luck continued on our drives around Inverdoorn, with a steady stream of Karoo “specials” appearing in the low scrub along our route. Rufous-eared Warbler, Fairy Flycatcher, Namaqua Warbler, Karoo Chat, Karoo Lark, Grey Tit, Booted Eagle, and, often the trickiest, a single Karoo Eremomela were all tracked down.

We had an excellent time and great success on the birding front, all despite the last bit of wintry weather raking the south coast with showers and cold winds. This tour focuses primarily on seeking out the Western Australian endemics and near-endemics. We saw all but one of our targets (the Western Fieldwren was heard only), including views of the “three skulkers,” which is quite exceptional.

Splashes of color were everywhere, with birds and wildflowers putting on a great display—male Splendid Fairywrens and Red-capped Robins certainly drew gasps. On the road to Narrogin, we struck gold not far west of the Perth outskirts when we stopped for a roadside party of black cockatoos. Much to my surprise, they turned out to be the scarce and endangered Baudin’s (Long-billed) Black-Cockatoos!

From there, we made a number of excursions to the east, with Cheynes Beach being our primary focus for the first two mornings. Here, among the stunning coastal heathland, resides a selection of fantastic birds, including what are often referred to as “the three skulkers”—Western Bristlebird, Western Whipbird, and Noisy Scrub-bird. They are the bane of many good tour leaders, as they are frequently heard but seldom seen—particularly the Scrub-bird. Nevertheless, we persevered successfully and came away with better-than-average views of the scrub-bird and its ear-splitting song. The Western Bristlebird performed much more obligingly, and the Western Whipbird was eventually tracked down near Corackerup Nature Reserve. Skulkers aside, we added a host of other specialties to our growing list while exploring the heathland. Brush Bronzewing, White-breasted Robin, Brown Quail, and the stunning Western Spinebill were around the caravan park itself, as were several vociferous Fan-tailed Cuckoos and Shining Bronze-Cuckoos. Western Wattlebirds and White-cheeked Honeyeaters dominated the patches of flowering banksia, and after several careful checks, we eventually located the infamous Honey Possum, which fed obligingly almost at our feet. In the bay, a Southern Right Whale was observed, as were several striking Pacific Gulls and some Sooty Oystercatchers. We swapped Blue-breasted for Red-winged Fairywrens in the heathland and also encountered a pair of tiny Southern Emuwrens at close range. North of Cheynes Beach, we visited the distinctive stunted mallee habitat around Corackerup Nature Reserve and Stirling Range National Park. Memorable encounters included a confiding Southern Scrub-Robin, smart-looking Purple-gaped Honeyeaters, a darling Scarlet Robin, the scarce Square-tailed Kite, and a pair of Hooded Plovers along the edge of a saline lake.",{"type":54,"attrs":88829,"content":88830},{"textAlign":48},[88831],{"text":88832,"type":52},"Before leaving Albany, we checked out a nearby wader roost and had good looks at Great Knot and several Fairy Terns.

visit to the Pacific Northwest in September can only be described as delightful. The rainy season has not yet started, so the days are pleasant and dry. Birds are streaming down from places north, stopping off to feed before heading south. The spectacle of migration is on full display. We toured a lot of the area in Washington west of the Cascade Mountains. Our time was spent mostly on the coastal waters of the Pacific Ocean and Puget Sound. We ascended to Hurricane Ridge in Olympic National Park, where sweeping views of the park's interior take your breath away. Two boat trips were also a big part of our tour, one out in the Pacific Ocean to look for pelagic bird species, and the other in the inland waters to search for marine mammals and birds. We saw a lot during our time in Washington. The sights, the food, and the company were all wonderful. ",[90469],{"type":63,"attrs":90470},{"color":32765},{"type":54,"attrs":90472,"content":90473},{"textAlign":48},[90474],{"text":90475,"type":52,"marks":90476},"We hit the ground running on our first full day. Our first stop was a good one. The mouth of the Cedar River where it meets Lake Washington is typically good for shorebirds. We were greeted there by a mob of birders looking over the mud flats. A Ruff had appeared overnight, and we got to enjoy it as one of the first birds of the trip. The Ruff was one of ten shorebird species there in the morning. A Red Knot and Stilt Sandpiper were also present and fairly uncommon for the area. Next, we headed to Kent, Washington on the banks of the Green River, where California Scrub-Jays, Willow Flycatcher, and Western Warbling Vireo were seen. After a nice lunch in West Seattle, we birded around Alki Beach and got our first looks at Pelagic Cormorant; we also had a nice encounter with a large flock of Bushtits. We finished off the day at Lincoln Park, where we encountered Chestnut-backed Chickadees, the very dark Northwestern Song Sparrows, and Steller's Jays. It was a full day that set the bar high for the rest of the trip. ",[90477],{"type":63,"attrs":90478},{"color":32765},{"type":54,"attrs":90480,"content":90481},{"textAlign":48},[90482],{"text":90483,"type":52,"marks":90484},"The next morning we said goodbye to the Seattle area and headed to the outer coast. We spent most of the morning at the Billy Frank Jr. Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge. This is one of my favorite places to go birding. Fields, woods, marshes, and a tidal river make the bird life here very diverse. A Merlin and Kestrel bothered each other over the open fields and made for a great show. Nine Bald Eagles were counted perching on snags and hunting over the river. We encountered two Soras in the marsh near the dyke trail. As we were enjoying them, an American Bittern flew in over our shoulders and landed in the open giving extended views. This was a big target for the trip for a few people, so to see it so well was extra special. After lunch in the Olympia area, we traveled west to the coast. A stop at Bottle Beach yielded the biggest surprise of the trip, a Chestnut-sided Warbler well out of range. Part of the reason why birding is so exciting is that you never know what you are going to find. A quick final stop at the Westport Marina gave us our first glimpse of the Pacific Ocean. ",[90485],{"type":63,"attrs":90486},{"color":32765},{"type":54,"attrs":90488,"content":90489},{"textAlign":48},[90490,90495,90501],{"text":90491,"type":52,"marks":90492},"A full day of coastal birding was in store today. Westhaven State Park is right in Westport and always worth checking. We had Red-necked Grebe and Red-throated Loon fairly close to shore. The striking Heermann's Gulls were ever-present. Next, we strolled through the marina in Westport. There is a long boardwalk that extends on the outer wall of the marina. California Sea Lions played in the water. A large group of around two hundred Marbled Godwits foraged at the water's edge. We also saw the boat that we would go on the next day for our pelagic trip, the ",[90493],{"type":63,"attrs":90494},{"color":32765},{"text":90496,"type":52,"marks":90497},"Monte Carlo",[90498,90500],{"type":63,"attrs":90499},{"color":32765},{"type":3231},{"text":90502,"type":52,"marks":90503},". The small community of Tokeland was our next destination. Tokeland is typically home to a large number of Marbled Godwits and sometimes a Bar-tailed Godwit. We lucked out in seeing both! We estimated the Marbled Godwit flock at fifteen hundred birds, and there were three Bar-tailed Godwits mixed in. A dark Peale's Peregrine Falcon buzzed the flock, and they all got up together. It was amazing to see all those birds fly together. Lunch at the Wandering Goose was a nice surprise—an eclectic hotel with a great restaurant and wild decor. Westport Jetty rounded out our day with good looks at Rhinoceros Auklet. ",[90504],{"type":63,"attrs":90505},{"color":32765},{"type":54,"attrs":90507,"content":90508},{"textAlign":48},[90509],{"text":90510,"type":52,"marks":90511},"Pelagic day was here! We headed out on the Monte Carlo today with Captain Phil and first mate Kris. We left the marina in the dark and motored out to the open ocean. I love days like this—so much anticipation. Steller's Sea Lions were lazing on the buoys as we headed out. The first pelagic birds we saw were Sooty Shearwaters. First one, then another, and by the end of the day we had seen several hundred. The next tubenoses were the Pink-footed Shearwaters. Red and Red-necked phalaropes dodged the boat as we motored on. Soon we started to get into some Sabine's Gulls on the water and flying around. Several were being harassed by a Long-tailed Jaeger. A fairly large gathering of Black-footed Albatross was a highlight. They were sitting on the water, resting. Short-tailed Shearwater, Fork-tailed Storm-Petrel, and South Polar Skua all gave good looks. The highlights kept coming with the beautiful Buller's Shearwater and dark morph Northern Fulmars coming close to the boat. There were just too many highlights today. This pelagic trip is a big reason why people sign up for this tour, and it didn't disappoint. We had a wonderful fun-filled dinner back at the Wandering Goose to recap the day. ",[90512],{"type":63,"attrs":90513},{"color":32765},{"type":54,"attrs":90515,"content":90516},{"textAlign":48},[90517],{"text":90518,"type":52,"marks":90519},"There was more to see! Today was a travel day from Westport to Port Angeles. A quick stop at the Hoquiam Sewage Treatment Ponds was fruitful. We had a good study of a single Red-necked Phalarope that was floating close by. Several duck species were present, including Hooded Merganser and Northern Pintail. A small flock of American Pipits were foraging on the dirt nearby. From here we headed north to the Olympic National Park beaches. Ruby Beach is one of my personal favorite places on the planet. The sea stacks and driftwood are really special. We picked out some Surfbirds on one of the rocks and Surf Scoters in the surf. We stopped at Cascade Lake in the afternoon for the beautiful view and wonderful looks at Pacific Wren. It was a day full of driving and beautiful scenery. We checked into the Olympic Lodge in Port Angeles, where we would be for the next two nights. ",[90520],{"type":63,"attrs":90521},{"color":32765},{"type":54,"attrs":90523,"content":90524},{"textAlign":2895},[90525],{"text":90526,"type":52,"marks":90527},"The next morning was another big day of the trip. We headed out early to go to Hurricane Ridge in Olympic National Park. The seventeen-mile road up has plenty of pull-offs for great views, but the fog had other ideas. We did get great views of Red Crossbills feeding at eye level at one of the stops. The fog lifted at the top, so we had sweeping views of the Olympic Mountain Range. A huge flock of Band-tailed Pigeons flew overhead. A few Golden-crowned Sparrows gave good looks, and there were several charismatic Red-breasted Nuthatches feeding on cones. We had been up on Hurricane Ridge for a while and hadn't found the biggest target yet, so we decided to take a drive to another trailhead. It turned out that everyone else had that idea, too. The parking lot was full, so we retreated, and just before we got back to the main parking lot, there it was: a Sooty Grouse sitting on a snag. It stayed long enough for us to walk back down and get some photos. We spent the afternoon in the Sequim area in sight of Dungeness Spit—the world's longest natural spit, an impressive five miles long. We walked out to the base and birded along the way. Our last stop was at a large man-made spit in Port Angeles called Ediz Hook. On the log booms here we picked out Harlequin Ducks, American Herring Gulls, and Surf Scoters. A good way to end the day. ",[90528],{"type":63,"attrs":90529},{"color":32765},{"type":54,"attrs":90531,"content":90532},{"textAlign":2895},[90533],{"text":90534,"type":52,"marks":90535},"We headed to Anacortes and our last stop on the tour. Port Angeles treated us well. We made a last stop in the area at the Railroad Bridge Park and Audubon Center. This is a great place to find birds along the trail edges. We had to wait out a little rain, but once it subsided the birds came out. The feeders were full at the center. Chestnut-backed Chickadees, Red-breasted Nuthatches, and the coastal race of Downy Woodpecker all came in to feed. We found the Sooty Fox Sparrow, Purple Finch, and Bushtits along the trail. Black-throated Gray and Townsend's warblers were both seen near the feeders as well. We had lunch on the water in Port Townsend and enjoyed looks at Pigeon Guillemot and Purple Martins. A ferry was required to get us to Whidbey Island. While birding from the ferry, the captain pointed out some distant Orca Whales.  We finished the day near Anacortes at Channel Drive, a famous shorebird spot. We enjoyed looks at both Yellowlegs, Pectoral Sandpiper, and Least Sandpipers. The Northern Harriers put on quite a show, too.  ",[90536],{"type":63,"attrs":90537},{"color":32765},{"type":54,"attrs":90539,"content":90540},{"textAlign":2895},[90541],{"text":90542,"type":52,"marks":90543},"The last full day of our trip was a good one! We started off at Wiley Slough, a tidal marsh along the Skagit River that has traditionally been excellent for birding. We enjoyed great views of Merlin, Western Tanager, Lincoln's Sparrow, and Short-billed Dowitcher to name a few. Then we stopped at Fir Island a couple of miles away and saw thousands of shorebirds feeding on an open mud flat. We spent the rest of the day on a whale-watching boat touring throughout the San Juan Island chain. We were treated to a nice boat ride with views of Fin Whale, Orca Whale, and Humpback Whales. A good number of Marbled Murrelets were in the inland waters. Once we got out to the southwest side of San Juan Island the sheer amount of gulls and alcids was astounding. Thousands of Common Murres and gulls were feeding on bait fish, with Rhinoceros Auklets and Pigeon Guillemots sprinkled in. It was truly an amazing sight. The final two birds of our trip were Black Turnstone and Short-billed Gulls while motoring back. It was a great way to round out our trip. ",[90544],{"type":63,"attrs":90545},{"color":32765},{"type":54,"attrs":90547,"content":90548},{"textAlign":2895},[90549],{"text":90550,"type":52,"marks":90551},"This trip was full of great birds, great scenery, great people, and great food.

September marked the beginning of one of the most rewarding journeys I have guided in recent years: our fairly new Feathers & Traditions Tour. This was its second departure. The name says it all: this itinerary blends the natural richness of the Andes and cloud forests with the cultural traditions, history, and daily life of Peru. It is more than a birding trip; it is a way to see the country through multiple lenses—through feathers, traditions, landscapes, and, certainly, people.",{"type":54,"attrs":90891,"content":90892},{"textAlign":48},[90893],{"text":90894,"type":52},"Some travelers arrived in Lima a day or two early to do additional sightseeing on their own, and, as always, we were happy to assist with any arrangements. But the real adventure began when our group of ten fearless travelers officially came together and flew into Cusco on September 2. For me, it is hard to describe the pleasure and delight of showing people around my home region—not just the birds, but also my culture, my people, and my stories.",{"type":54,"attrs":90896,"content":90897},{"textAlign":48},[90898],{"text":90899,"type":52},"One of the small but important elements of this trip was the pace. Unlike many birding tours, where mornings start painfully early, we did not rise at an unreasonable hour. Instead, we enjoyed hearty hot breakfasts every day, with local breads, fresh fruit, eggs, coffee, and juice. We never went hungry in the field either; snacks were always on hand. That rhythm—early enough to seize the best hours of bird activity but never rushed—kept the group happy and energized. The weather was also on our side. The Andes can be unpredictable, but this week the skies seemed to smile on us. With only minor adjustments needed, we were able to follow the itinerary as planned.",{"type":54,"attrs":90901,"content":90902},{"textAlign":48},[90903],{"text":90904,"type":52},"Our first field explorations took us to high-elevation lagoons with reed beds at the Ramsar site of Huacarpay. Here we admired teals, ducks, ibises, gulls, and a variety of passerines. The thin air at altitude slowed our pace, but the birds rewarded every step. In the background, dramatic mountains framed the scene, their peaks alternating between sharp shadows and brilliant light as clouds passed.",{"type":54,"attrs":90906,"content":90907},{"textAlign":48},[90908],{"text":90909,"type":52},"A highlight soon followed in the Urubamba Valley, where we visited a couple of hummingbird gardens. Few birds delight a group as much as hummingbirds—their colors, their speed, and their almost mythical energy. Here we had fabulous views of several specialties, but the star was, without doubt, the Bearded Mountaineer. Endemic and highly localized, it is one of those species that draws a smile from everyone. The more widespread hummingbirds were equally enchanting.",{"type":54,"attrs":90911,"content":90912},{"textAlign":48},[90913],{"text":90914,"type":52},"While we were enjoying the dazzling display of hummingbirds in one of the gardens, we were suddenly rewarded with an unexpected visitor: the elusive Undulated Antpitta. This shy Andean bird is notoriously difficult to see, yet it gave us wonderful views and even enough time for photos. For a brief moment, it hopped around on the ground, feeding calmly before vanishing back into the undergrowth. We all felt incredibly fortunate to be in the right place at the right time.",{"type":54,"attrs":90916,"content":90917},{"textAlign":48},[90918],{"text":90919,"type":52},"A truly magical morning came when we visited the mysterious site of Moray. Despite all the reading I have done, Moray remains an enigma. Its concentric circular terraces may have served as an agricultural laboratory or perhaps as ceremonial spaces; scholars still debate their purpose. Standing there, the imagination runs wild. We arrived early enough that the site was practically empty, a rare privilege at such a popular destination. To walk quietly along the terraces, without crowds, felt like traveling back in time. The travelers sensed it too; I truly believe everyone enjoyed the silence and the crisp morning air.",{"type":54,"attrs":90921,"content":90922},{"textAlign":48},[90923],{"text":90924,"type":52},"Adding to the moment, the birding was awesome.

If Moray connected us with the mysteries of the past, this encounter connected us with living tradition. We were welcomed like family, introduced to several of Flora’s close relatives, and invited to sit with them as they shared the art of Andean weaving.",{"type":54,"attrs":90931,"content":90932},{"textAlign":48},[90933],{"text":90934,"type":52},"The women patiently explained each step of the process. First came the gathering of fibers from llamas, alpacas, and sheep. Then came the cleaning and spinning, often done by hand with simple tools. Natural dyes came from plants, minerals, and even insects, producing a rich palette of colors. Finally, the fibers were set onto backstrap looms, where skill and patience created textiles with intricate patterns and designs.",{"type":54,"attrs":90936,"content":90937},{"textAlign":48},[90938],{"text":90939,"type":52},"This was not just a demonstration; it was a story of resilience. As Flora explained, many young people no longer wish to learn these skills. Modern clothing and synthetic fabrics are easier, cheaper, and more fashionable. To keep the tradition alive, the community organizes weekend workshops for children, hoping to spark pride and continuity.",{"type":54,"attrs":90941,"content":90942},{"textAlign":48},[90943],{"text":90944,"type":52},"Watching the women weave, the travelers were deeply moved. It was clear that these designs were not only beautiful but also carriers of memory and identity. This experience embodied the essence of our tour.

Near Bethel, we encountered our first mixed-species flock behind Ossie’s Restaurant.

We had a Razorbill, briefly, right in the harbor, which seemed like a good sign. Early on, we saw several Black Guillemots, a close flock of Red-necked Phalaropes (we had over 500 for the day), a few Great Shearwaters, and a quick sighting of White-winged Scoters, but the fog made seeing much of anything difficult. A couple of hours in, we found a break in the fog and quickly tallied several close Atlantic Puffins and a few more Great Shearwaters, as well as superb views of both Wilson’s and Leach’s (uncommon and easily missed) storm-petrels. We topped off our boat trip with superb views of Great Cormorants on the rocks near Wood Island, a pair of Sooty Shearwaters right next to the boat, and unsurpassed looks at a few more Razorbills (we saw seven for the day).

Other notable passerine finds included Least Flycatcher, Eastern Kingbird, Blue-headed, Philadelphia (uncommon; three total) and Red-eyed (an astounding 84 individuals) vireos, a pair of Boreal Chickadees on the Dark Harbour Road (first for the trip in four or more years), numerous Gray Catbirds, Baltimore Oriole, Red Crossbills (very sporadic and rather rare on this route), and Purple Finch.

We ventured out the Dark Harbour Road with very low expectations but with crossed fingers. Astonishingly, in less than five minutes, we heard a Northern Saw-whet Owl calling, and, in relatively short order, spotted it right over our heads.

A boat ride across the Somosomo Strait, and a jeep ride, got us to the tiny village of Karoko. Here the village chief graciously allowed us access to his forests and even led us to where the silktail had been previously seen. It felt like quite an adventure, but the going was quite pleasant, with a wide and relatively level track before us. Upon entering the forest we tried several spots to no avail. Just as we were preparing to admit defeat, a call was heard, and then, shortly after, a pair of Natewa Silktails shot in and perched up beautifully! This is a bird that fewer than a hundred birders have likely ever seen and which very little is known about—a truly exhilarating experience!",[94159],{"type":63,"attrs":94160},{"color":21},{"text":2912,"type":52,"marks":94162},[94163],{"type":63,"attrs":94164},{"color":32765},{"type":54,"attrs":94166,"content":94167},{"textAlign":2895},[94168,94173],{"text":94169,"type":52,"marks":94170},"After a late arrival into Suva the previous day, we enjoyed breakfast at the wonderful Grand Pacific Hotel before heading into the foothills above the city. Birding in the vicinity of the FEA Tower Rd, we had our first looks at a number of new species. Much to my surprise, our first sighting turned out to be a magical male Golden Dove! While enjoying this fantastic pigeon perched up, several Duetting Chattering-honeyeaters tried to distract us with their loud calls. Further along the road, we enjoyed better views of Barking Imperial-Pigeons, multiple Masked Shining-Parrots screeching overhead, Vanikoro Flycatcher, a pair of cute Slaty Monarchs, numerous Western Wattled-Honeyeaters, and the local subspecies of Fan-tailed Cuckoo. Back down in Suva, we padded out our list a little by visiting the mudflats along Suva Point—white morph Pacific Reef-Heron being the highlight. In the afternoon, we made a targeted strike for an elusive endemic—Black-throated Shrikebill. We enjoyed birding among some wonderful scenery near the village of Navurevure, where Fiji Parrotfinch perched up nicely (and an immature bird almost had us thinking we were onto the poorly-known Pink-billed Parrotfinch). Several flowering coral trees were full of honeyeaters, myzomelas, and Collared Lories. Eventually we reached a nondescript section of road where it didn't take long to lock onto a singing Black-throated Shrikebill!",[94171],{"type":63,"attrs":94172},{"color":21},{"text":2912,"type":52,"marks":94174},[94175],{"type":63,"attrs":94176},{"color":32765},{"type":54,"attrs":94178,"content":94179},{"textAlign":2895},[94180,94185],{"text":94181,"type":52,"marks":94182},"The next morning out on the Namosi Road started a little damp, which kept the birds quiet, but eventually things dried out and we had some great birding. Highlights included a beautiful male Yellow-throated Fiji Whistler, a Fiji Bush Warbler that popped out of the bushes for us, cute Pacific Robin, several showy Fiji Streaked Fantails, and the prized endemic Chestnut-throated Flycatcher, which made us work for a few quick views.

Just within the nearby forest, Kadavu Fantail, Slaty Monarch, Fiji Shrikebill, and the gorgeous White-throated Fiji Whistler all showed nicely. Around the grounds of the resort we enjoyed great looks at several stunning Crimson Shining-Parrots (some raiding the papaya orchard) and the curious Kadavu Honeyeater.

We enjoyed wonderful views of a pair of Blue-and-yellow Macaws allopreening each other. A little farther down the road, we locked our sights on Red-legged Seriema, Greater Rhea, and Toco Toucans. A stop at some nearby wetlands brought views of two gorgeous ibis species—Bare-faced and Buff-necked. Flashy Nacunda Nighthawks were seen flying along the edge of the pond.

An afternoon boat ride introduced us to the experience of birding by boat (one of a handful of boat rides we take on this tour). Fantastic views of Bare-faced Curassow and Ringed Kingfisher, along with hearing Little Woodpecker, ensued from the boats.

Rufous Cacholotes called as a Chotoy Spinetail kept watch, each dapper in its own way. Vibrant Orange-backed Troupials fed among the hot-pink ipê blossoms, beauty beyond description. There was much to enjoy on our first morning of birding the property! After a midday siesta, we birded by safari vehicle and enjoyed great views of birds like the tiny White-wedged Piculet, the regal Capped Heron, and Greater Thornbird, to name a few.

Yacaré Caimans lounged and gathered around the waterlogged areas as the dry season commenced. We found a beautiful False Water Cobra while birding and got to study our first (of many) Black-capped Donacobius and majestic Hyacinth Macaws. After an arrival lunch and a little siesta at the Jaguar Suites, we made our way out to bird by boat along the nearby waters. It was very special to know that our “home” for this part of the tour was surrounded by so much potential wildlife diversity, which included seeing a JAGUAR on our first evening out!

On our last morning excursion among the boating outings, we witnessed a Jaguar swimming and eventually pouncing on a Yacaré Caiman in the water. This was followed by moments of thrashing and splashing around, and then we watched the Jaguar drag its fresh catch up onto the shore and deep into the vegetation. It felt surreal, like a dreamy moment straight from a nature documentary . . . but right in front of us.

During this tour we saw not one, not two, but five American Pygmy Kingfishers during our time on the water. Crisp, up-close views of a Snail Kite were incredible, along with numerous Roadside Hawks daily. Great study and comparison opportunities involving Great Kiskadee, Lesser Kiskadee, Boat-billed Flycatcher, and Rusty-margined Flycatcher followed. A White-naped Xenopsaris was a special treat, being a species uncommon for the tour. We delved into the world of antbirds with a Band-tailed Antbird at one point. Adult and juvenile Rufescent Tiger-Herons were seen remarkably well, as were Green Ibis and Capped Heron. Among the many up-close views of previously mentioned birds were several hawk-watching moments when we learned how to identify White-tailed Hawk and Plumbeous Kite at a distance from the boat—which is quite possible to do! Closer still was a Crane Hawk that we watched walk along a branch and plunge its long legs deep within a hollow tree cavity, shortly afterward pulling out a frog that it began to eat on a branch. Two different Long-winged Harriers were seen patrolling low through the air. Along the peaceful meandering stretches of river, we enjoyed the sight of adorable Proboscis Bats resting together on the underside of a tree, each camouflaged in its own way against the trunk. Amid this whirlwind of life, we saw numerous Capybaras every day while exploring the waterways from the Jaguar Suites. They are such neat animals, being the world’s largest rodents! Seeing a very rare Maned Wolf one evening was truly incredible, and on the boat ride home from the wolf sighting, we saw baby Large-billed Terns and not one but two Brazilian Tapirs!",{"type":54,"attrs":94818,"content":94819},{"textAlign":48},[94820],{"text":94821,"type":52},"On our last morning while still birding by boat out of the Jaguar Suites, we enjoyed views of a sneaky Striped Cuckoo and a Rufescent Tiger-Heron that contemplated for many minutes what to do with the too-large fish it had caught. It was tough to leave such a beautiful location, and we said goodbye to the wonderful staff at the Jaguar Suites. Upon arriving back on land, we made our way back to SouthWild Pantanal for another visit, including a casual stroll around the property.

Yellow-collared Macaws flew over us, and we saw a beautiful female Black-tailed Tityra and a Great Antshrike, all among an exciting plethora of wading birds. Canopy-dwelling White-throated Piping-Guans didn’t disappoint either. There was much to cherish during our last boat ride of the trip, with numerous adventures still awaiting us on land. An afternoon trek around the property offered views of Blue-tufted Starthroat and Gilded Hummingbird, in addition to up-close Green-barred Woodpeckers and a Rusty-backed Antwren.",{"type":54,"attrs":94828,"content":94829},{"textAlign":48},[94830],{"text":94831,"type":52},"The next morning we enjoyed a delicious early breakfast, followed by one last stroll around the SouthWild Pantanal property. It was exciting to see Brown-chested Martins and one of the sought-after birds of the morning, TWO Red-crested Finches! It felt like time stood still while we watched this beautiful species, initially in poor light but eventually out in the open with the sun at our backs. Pousada Piuval, our last home-sweet-home of the tour, was on the agenda for the evening, but not before some birding and lunch en route. During lunch we savored views of Nanday Parakeets just feet from us, while Buff-necked Ibises and Hyacinth Macaws enjoyed the surroundings. A White-rumped Monjita was seen just before we “hit the road.” Once at Pousada Piuval, a late-day truck ride had us looking at Burrowing Owls, punk-rock-crested Guira Cuckoos, Nacunda Nighthawks, and several Grassland Sparrows, which were new for our trip!",{"type":54,"attrs":94833,"content":94834},{"textAlign":48},[94835],{"text":94836,"type":52},"Our final series of birding excursions took place around the grounds of Pousada Piuval. While birding by open-bed truck, we found ourselves among Red-legged Seriemas and Campo Flickers. One of the biggest highlights was seeing two Giant Anteaters and also a Brazilian Tapir in the early morning hours. It all felt like a dream. Thrush-like Wrens were seen, as were Bare-faced Curassows and even a Sunbittern. At one point, we watched a juvenile Crested Caracara being allopreened by a Black Vulture. This remarkable behavior continued for several minutes and was quite fascinating to observe, as interspecies allopreening is extremely rare anywhere in the world. One night we set our sights on a Black-banded Owl, a joyous moment that rewarded our patience. Hearing a nighttime Short-tailed Nighthawk was also very special, as this locally uncommon bird is often not on our birding radar.",{"type":54,"attrs":94838,"content":94839},{"textAlign":48},[94840],{"text":94841,"type":52},"On our last morning before heading back to Cuiabá, we did some local birding and spotted a White-fronted Woodpecker, an uncommon habitat-specialized bird of the area. (We look for them on every visit to Pousada Piuval, and they can be tricky to find.) Nice views of this species ensued in the savanna-like surroundings. Earlier in the morning, around breakfast time, no fewer than 1,500 Western Cattle Egrets were seen flying around the vast clearings. And with all of this, viewing a few more Hyacinth Macaws before departing felt special in its own way. We made our way back to Cuiabá later that afternoon, where the tour concluded.",{"type":54,"attrs":94843,"content":94844},{"textAlign":48},[94845],{"text":94846,"type":52},"A big thank you goes out to our two local guides, Lailson and Yamil. Lailson’s top-notch birding expertise enriched our tour tremendously with many fun moments in the field, and Yamil’s zenful approach to birding connected us with so many exciting experiences, not only through bird identification but also through a personal connection to the many animals we saw. It was a joy to bird with both of them. And an important thank you goes out to the boat drivers, lodging staff, and van drivers who made our tour as memorable as it was. There was much to be thankful for.

Iguacu Falls Pre-trip was yet another memorable experience, unique and luxurious in its own way. We enjoyed the spectacular scenery and wonderful birds and butterflies. Our distinctly comfortable, historic hotel was a pleasant home away from home for the trip, being just a moment’s walk from views of Iguacu Falls. Over the course of two full days of birding, we searched for the wondrous birds of both Brazil and Argentina. As in past years, we were accompanied by our dear friend and local guide Oliver, who took amazing care of us each day.

As we met, hundreds of Great Dusky Swifts were seen swirling over the vista of the falls, with the viewing area just a moment’s walk from the hotel entrance. These fantastic birds both live and nest behind the cascading waterfalls. It's downright magical and a must-see during our falls visit. As we explored the area, beautiful Toco Toucans graced the tops of the nearby trees. Pale-breasted Thrushes fed along the grassy lawns among a dozen chatty Southern Lapwings that always had something to say, and a Variable Oriole sang nearby. The impressive ambience of the waterfalls was incredible, and a delicious welcome dinner followed at the hotel. We enjoyed wonderful hotel dinners every night of the tour, with the hotel dining setup hosting a uniquely special buffet for us—something worthy of writing home about!",{"type":54,"attrs":97658,"content":97659},{"textAlign":48},[97660],{"text":97661,"type":52},"We started our first morning birding along the legendary Poco Preto Road, just minutes from our hotel. While birding along this stunning woodland road, we came across exciting birds like four gorgeous Rufous-capped Motmots, a large Blond-crested Woodpecker, and chatty Plush-crested Jays, to name a few. Throughout the morning, we enjoyed studying three different thrush species along the trail: Creamy-bellied, Pale-breasted, and White-necked. One of the highlights of the morning was observing not one, not two, but three dapper Surucua Trogons! Golden-crowned Warblers were heard and seen well among the dense foliage, as if “overcaffeinated” in their behavior. A Red-ruffed Fruitcrow made its presence known, and with a little patience we were able both to see and hear the fabulous and tiny Sao Paulo Bristle-Tyrant, a near-threatened, range-restricted species! The vibrant Guira Tanager was appreciated well before we headed back to the road. The corridor of greenery throughout the morning hours was delightful to explore, and again it was all taking place just minutes from our home-away-from-home hotel.",{"type":54,"attrs":97663,"content":97664},{"textAlign":48},[97665],{"text":97666,"type":52},"Upon heading back to the road, we enjoyed a breakfast/brunch picnic where we saw wonderful birds like Planalto Woodcreeper and Toco Toucan, while an uncommon Buff-bellied Puffbird shortly afterward stole the show. Lunch a little later along the falls was scenic, and throughout the afternoon of birding along the “banana trail,” we enjoyed birds like the chatty Plain-winged Woodcreeper, White-bearded Manakin, and two Black-goggled Tanagers, to name a few. In addition to the exciting birdlife earlier on, our afternoon walk through the woods was teeming with a breathtaking array of butterflies—it felt like a dream at times! We took time to appreciate and identify the many butterflies we came across. What a day!",{"type":54,"attrs":97668,"content":97669},{"textAlign":48},[97670],{"text":97671,"type":52},"On our second full day of birding, we had our sights set on making our way to Argentina to bird the other side of Iguacu Falls. Moments after we left our hotel, we spotted a Common Pauraque alongside the road just before sunrise, still within the park. Along with birding all day with Oliver, we spent a good portion of the day birding and exploring the Argentine side with Martin, another fabulous birder and wonderful birding guide with whom we have worked on past tours. It is a treat to work and bird with both of them year after year. We explored Camino al Santuario (the walk to the sanctuary). This road is lined with dense vegetation, with both eye-level thickets and taller trees along a seldom-traveled side road. It’s a gem of a place to explore throughout the morning among the mix of habitats, where we tallied 43 species over the course of a half-mile of casual walking and birding! Vibrant Maroon-bellied Parakeets flew overhead, as did White-eyed Parakeets and a Turquoise-fronted Amazon. We got our binoculars on a stunning male White-shouldered Fire-eye, a show-stealer in his own way. We had great views of gorgeous species like Fawn-breasted Tanager, Ruby-crowned Tanager, and the beyond-colorful Green-headed Tanager—to name just a few of the ten species of tanagers we came across, including the singing Chestnut-headed Tanager that we heard. Treetop-perching Magpie Tanagers kept watch as we walked by, showing off their long tails and distinct tuxedo-like plumage. The tiny Purple-throated Euphonia was beautiful to see too. There was much to cherish!",{"type":54,"attrs":97673,"content":97674},{"textAlign":48},[97675],{"text":97676,"type":52},"As the day progressed, we made our way into Iguacu Falls National Park, where we birded by trail and train. We enjoyed birds like Violet-capped Woodnymph and charismatic Chopi Blackbirds singing away while we checked in. We took a walk to the climactic overlook of Iguacu Falls, viewing the renowned “Devil’s Throat,” where numerous massive cascades converge into one remarkable section. We enjoyed views of Limpkin, Black Skimmer, Ringed Kingfisher, and Black-capped Donacobius. The raw energy while overlooking the waterfalls is unreal, and it's clear why Iguacu Falls is considered one of the great natural wonders of the world. Just feet from the cascading waterfalls, we locked our sights on several large Iguazu Catfish swimming right below us. This rare and incredibly range-restricted catfish species is unique to the immediate area.",{"type":54,"attrs":97678,"content":97679},{"textAlign":48},[97680],{"text":97681,"type":52},"In the afternoon, we explored the renowned Hummingbird Garden (Jardín de Picaflores), where we studied eight species of hummingbirds, each beautiful in its own way. No fewer than 40 Versicolored Emeralds buzzed among the feeders and around our heads, while less common hummingbirds like the large Swallow-tailed Hummingbird, the regal Black Jacobin, and the locally uncommon White-throated Hummingbird made less frequent but noteworthy visits. A dashing White Woodpecker fed in a nearby tree along the property edge amid the hummingbird commotion. We ended our day birding and enjoying the landscape where the Iguazu River meets the Paraná River—a unique location where Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay can all be seen at once! We took an impromptu group photo with some friendly passersby—it was funny and memorable all at the same time.

The two endemic coucals, Pied and Violaceous, were both heard making their booming calls that constantly echo through the forests here, and a pair of the former was seen well, including a leucistic individual. Ashy Myzomela and Red-banded Flowerpecker were frequently encountered, and we had a great sighting of the much scarcer Black-bellied Myzomela low in a flowering tree.",{"type":54,"attrs":98921,"content":98922},{"textAlign":48},[98923],{"text":98924,"type":52},"A couple of visits to the Kulu River, where plantation borders riverine forest, provided a number of good sightings.

Scanning the trees closely from the boat, we had good looks at hundreds of Island Imperial-Pigeons, singing Black-tailed Whistlers, Beach Kingfisher, tiny Sclater’s Myzomela, singing Shining Flycatcher, Spot-breasted Cuckoo-Doves, several Nicobar Pigeons with their distinctive long necks, and glimpses of the shy Island Monarch.

Here we encountered several rarer species, including Velvet Flycatcher and Bismarck Monarch, while Pied Cuckoo-Dove called but did not show.

several years of above average temperatures in the Cascades, it was a pleasure to run this camp under cooler conditions, only once or twice breaking 80 degrees, and dropping into the low 40s when we began our hike at Sunrise.

At this alpine lake near the edge of treeline, we were met with a carpet of spectacular wildflowers, including Arctic Lupine, Mountain Paintbrush, Pink Mountainheath, American Bistort Subalpine Fleabane, and much more. As we would find throughout our time in the Cascades, these mountain meadows were magnets for family groups of birds, including lowland species that departed more parched habitats for better feeding opportunities up high. Some highlights included Hermit Thrush, Red Crossbill (type 4/Douglas-fir), Pine Siskin, Dark-eyed Junco, many Yellow-rumped Warblers, and a few Orange-crowned and Townsend’s warblers.

This little house in the woods met our needs perfectly and even had a volleyball net and basketball court, which campers made liberal use of during downtime. Though we didn’t amass a big “yard list,” we did enjoy seeing Common Nighthawks flying over every evening, and even saw Black Swift on two occasions during regular afternoon movements of Violet-green Swallows and Vaux’s Swifts. ",[99441],{"type":63,"attrs":99442},{"color":21},{"text":2912,"type":52,"marks":99444},[99445],{"type":63,"attrs":99446},{"color":65},{"type":54,"attrs":99448,"content":99449},{"textAlign":48},[99450,99455],{"text":99451,"type":52,"marks":99452},"As we toured around the Cascades, we made many stops to explore the varied habitats. A visit to picturesque Narada Falls allowed us excellent views of a foraging adult and juvenile American Dippers, plus the uncommon sight of a Sylvan Hairstreak feeding at the edge of the parking lot. A short hike at Longmire gave us our first views of Band-tailed Pigeon and Red-breasted Sapsucker as we marveled at the magnificent old-growth forest of Douglas Fir, Western Redcedar, and Mountain Hemlock. In this dark, shady environment, where trees towered up to 200 feet overhead, we also developed a good appreciation for the varied high-pitched calls of Brown Creeper, Golden-crowned Kinglet, and Chestnut-backed Chickadee. Our first Pikas at Louise Lake held us captivated for quite a while, as did numerous dragonflies cruising along the lakeshore.

At Oak Creek Wildlife Area, the rugged rocky landscape looked like the Southwest, and was home to the likes of White-throated Swift, Golden Eagle, Prairie Falcon, Ash-throated Flycatcher, Western Kingbird, Rock and Canyon wrens, Lark Sparrow, Bullock’s Oriole, and Lazuli Bunting. All that, plus more than a dozen Lewis’s Woodpeckers—always a highlight here! Nearby Ponderosa Pine forest at Wenatchee National Forest helped add to our list, with sightings of White-headed Woodpecker, Williamson’s Sapsucker, both Dusky and Hammond’s flycatchers, and Red Crossbill (type 2/Ponderosa Pine). This arid region also held a number of interesting butterflies including Becker’s White, Coronis Fritillary, Small and Common wood-nymphs, and Woodland Skipper.",[99465],{"type":63,"attrs":99466},{"color":21},{"text":2912,"type":52,"marks":99468},[99469],{"type":63,"attrs":99470},{"color":65},{"type":54,"attrs":99472,"content":99473},{"textAlign":48},[99474,99479],{"text":99475,"type":52,"marks":99476},"But the \"best\" of Mt. Rainier was at high elevation, where mountain meadows were full of life. Wildflowers in these meadows were spectacular, and we enjoyed such species as Dwarf Lupine, Cascade Aster, Giant Red Paintbrush, Mountain Bluebells, Small Flower Beardtongue, Avalanche Lily, and much more. Butterflies were much more numerous here than elsewhere, and we found the biennial Clodius Parnassian plus Silvery and Arctic blues, Snowberry and Edith’s checkerspots, Milbert’s Tortoiseshell, and Mormon, Hydaspe, and Pacific fritillaries. The Hoary Marmots looked as happy as could be, munching on lupines and lounging on snowfields, and American Pikas nervously appeared on sun-bathed rock piles, making their “EEP” alarm calls when danger was near. Small flocks of songbirds gravitated toward these lush meadows to reap their bounty, and we found a number of interesting species including Clark’s Nutcracker; Varied Thrush; Mountain Bluebird; Fox Sparrow; Orange-crowned, Nashville, and Townsend’s warblers; Western Tanager; and Cassin’s and Purple finches. Much of this habitat was explored on two long and glorious hikes above treeline at Paradise and Sunrise. Though birds were few after we got above treeline, the scenery was beyond spectacular, and we enjoyed exciting encounters with numerous American Pipits, Horned Lark, a flyby Gray-crowned Rosy-Finch, and some of our best wildflowers and butterflies. And the real icing on the cake was two close encounters with Sooty Grouse: a male in full display followed by a female with chicks, all of them practically at arm’s reach! A shorter hike around Leech Lake at White Pass was also full of life, including countless family groups of songbirds, an amazing show of swallows and swifts, Canada Jay, Williamson’s and Red-naped sapsuckers, and a surprise Yellow-headed Blackbird flying over. ",[99477],{"type":63,"attrs":99478},{"color":21},{"text":2912,"type":52,"marks":99480},[99481],{"type":63,"attrs":99482},{"color":65},{"type":54,"attrs":99484,"content":99485},{"textAlign":48},[99486,99491],{"text":99487,"type":52,"marks":99488},"The next phase of our camp was spent exploring the Puget Sound region, based at YMCA Camp Casey on Whidbey Island. With views of Crockett Lake to the east, the Salish Sea to the west, and Fort Casey State Park just down street, we saw more than 50 species of birds right from our doorstep. Our first walk was to the bluffs off Fort Casey, providing an excellent introduction to the coastal birds of this region. Among the kelp beds, we found multiple Pelagic Cormorants, Pigeon Guillemots, and Rhinoceros Auklets, as well as the beautiful Heermann’s Gull, a post-breeding immigrant to this region from nesting grounds in Mexico. We were sad to see a dead Gray Whale washed up on the beach, but then pleasantly surprised when we got back to the house and found a Great Horned Owl perched in the open! A walk at Fort Casey State Park the next day allowed up-close views of hundreds of gulls on the beach, plus Surf and White-winged scoters, Marbled Murrelet, Common Murre, Red-necked Grebe, Harbor Porpoise, and much more just offshore. In the wooded portions of the park, we enjoyed sightings of Merlin (the “Black” Pacific Northwest form), Olive-sided Flycatcher, Chestnut-backed Chickadee, Bushtit, Pacific Wren, and much more. Crocket Lake allowed excellent studies of various shorebirds and swallows, and the adjacent Keystone Ferry Terminal allowed up-close views of nesting Pigeon Guillemots and Pelagic Cormorants. ",[99489],{"type":63,"attrs":99490},{"color":21},{"text":2912,"type":52,"marks":99492},[99493],{"type":63,"attrs":99494},{"color":65},{"type":54,"attrs":99496,"content":99497},{"textAlign":48},[99498,99503],{"text":99499,"type":52,"marks":99500},"Farther afield, our explorations of Whidbey Island included several coastal viewpoints where Black Oystercatcher, Black Turnstone, and Common and Pacific loons were highlights, as were the tide pools at Rosario Beach. A wonderful walk through some magnificent mature forest at South Whidbey State Park was fun for botany and yielded a few nice birds including Hutton’s Vireo, Swainson’s Thrush (“russet-backed’ form), more Red Crossbills (type 3/Sitka Spruce), and an abundance of the very large, dark, Pacific Northwest form of Song Sparrow. For those of us from the East or Interior West, it was striking to see how many of our “familiar” birds such as Hairy Woodpecker, Black-capped Chickadee, and Song Sparrow looked darker than those at home, adaptations for living in a dark Pacific Northwest climate.",[99501],{"type":63,"attrs":99502},{"color":21},{"text":2912,"type":52,"marks":99504},[99505],{"type":63,"attrs":99506},{"color":65},{"type":54,"attrs":99508,"content":99509},{"textAlign":48},[99510,99515],{"text":99511,"type":52,"marks":99512},"An action-packed day trip to the Olympic Peninsula started with eight species of waterfowl plus Virginia Rail and Marsh Wren at Kah Tai Lagoon.

From there, it was a return to Madera Canyon in the Santa Rita Mountains. We stopped once again at the Santa Rita Lodge, hoping for a view of the rare Berylline Hummingbird that had been seen there in recent days. Not only did we get the hummingbird in short order, but also had a pair of Zone-tailed Hawks circling right over our heads, a pair of Peregrine Falcons, very close Sulphur-bellied Flycatchers, and a flashy Painted Redstart foraging on a roof. How could our luck get any better? Well, we were about to find out. We drove to the top of the canyon and readied ourselves for a steep hike in search of the iconic Elegant Trogon, a pair of which often nests in the first mile of the trail.

intrepid travelers and I began our Papua New Guinea adventure in the capital, Port Moresby, after flying in from Brisbane, Australia. It was going to be a big first day with a trip to Varirata National Park on the cards. PNG's only national park certainly didn't disappoint, and we kicked off the day in style, marveling at the raucous and extravagant males of the Raggiana Bird-of-Paradise assembling right above us in the beautiful early morning. We explored the lovely clearings and forest edges of the park and hiked a short distance along one of the forested creeks, finishing at the fabulous viewpoint looking back towards Port Moresby. We recorded almost 60 species during a very full morning and early afternoon. Highlights included a splendid male Growling Riflebird posing well, Crinkle-collared Manucode, a curious Barred Owlet-Nightjar, the poisonous Hooded Pitohui, hulking Blue-winged Kookaburra, great views of several fruit-dove species, cute Black-faced and Frilled monarchs, Barred Cuckooshrike, a friendly White-faced Robin, and a roosting Barking Owl. Leaving the park, some roadside birding revealed a singing White-bellied Whistler, as well as Brown Quail, Pacific Baza, Rainbow Bee-eater, and Lemon-bellied Flycatcher. We made our way back to the very comfortable Airways Hotel, thoroughly satisfied with our first day in PNG.",[103953],{"type":63,"attrs":103954},{"color":21},{"text":2912,"type":52,"marks":103956},[103957],{"type":63,"attrs":103958},{"color":65},{"type":54,"attrs":103960,"content":103961},{"textAlign":48},[103962,103967],{"text":103963,"type":52,"marks":103964},"We managed to sneak in an hour of birding on the grounds of the Pacific Adventist University the next morning before our flight to Kiunga. Wandering Whistling-Ducks were plentiful, and roosting Nankeen Night-Heron, Black-backed Butcherbird, Gray-headed Munia, and several Australasian Figbirds were well received, plus a nice camp of Spectacled Flying Foxes. After a smooth check-in at the often hectic domestic terminal in Port Moresby, we were on our way to the steamy lowlands of Kiunga and the mighty Fly River. Early the next morning we boarded our long boat in the pre-dawn light and began motoring up \"The Fly\" for a full day out on the backwaters and in the flooded forests of this remote region. We had a fantastic day, enjoying excellent birding from the boat along the tranquil Elevala River, and some tough but rewarding expeditions into the muddy forest it bisects. Pigeons and parrots were plentiful, with great looks at the much-desired Sclater's Crowned Pigeon (two pairs!) and the remarkable Palm Cockatoo. The kingfishers made us work for them, but our industrious local guide (Glen) worked hard to get us great looks at the stunning Common Paradise-Kingfisher and secretive Hook-billed Kingfisher. The highlights were many and varied, and we ended the day with a wonderful trip back to Kiunga in the late afternoon light, where we witnessed a mass spawning event of thousands of Stoneflies skimming over the surface of the Fly River.",[103965],{"type":63,"attrs":103966},{"color":21},{"text":2912,"type":52,"marks":103968},[103969],{"type":63,"attrs":103970},{"color":65},{"type":54,"attrs":103972,"content":103973},{"textAlign":48},[103974,103979],{"text":103975,"type":52,"marks":103976},"From Kiunga, we traveled north by road towards the mining town of Tabubil, at the base of the Star Mountains. This is a remote region of Papua New Guinea that we have not visited for some time, so it was exciting to return and seek out a variety of new species in the lush hill forests here. One of the highlights of our time involved a lengthy stakeout for the wonderful Salvadori's Teal, which eventually showed well along the raging torrent of the Ok Menga River. We also had several views of Torrent Lark (although mostly in flight), numerous Torrent Flyrobins, and two pairs of Little Ringed Plovers. Another of the most wanted species in this area is the Shovel-billed Kingfisher, which also required some work but finally resulted in close views of this cryptic, crepuscular, forest kingfisher with an over-sized grosbeak bill! Birding along Henry's Road was enjoyable, with great looks at White-eared Bronze-Cuckoo and singing Chestnut-breasted Cuckoo; a large flock of tiny Red-breasted Pygmy-Parrots, plus a pair of Yellow-capped Pygmy-Parrots; and \"whoop-ing\" Magnificent Riflebird, Moustached Treeswift, and Mountain Peltops.",[103977],{"type":63,"attrs":103978},{"color":21},{"text":2912,"type":52,"marks":103980},[103981],{"type":63,"attrs":103982},{"color":65},{"type":54,"attrs":103984,"content":103985},{"textAlign":2895},[103986,103991,103996,104001],{"text":103987,"type":52,"marks":103988},"The following day we ventured out along the Telefomin Road in the Landcruisers, and although the birding was quieter than anticipated (probably due to the unusually sunny weather), we still picked up several great species and enjoyed stunning scenery along \"The Hindenburg Wall\"—a dramatic karst cliff line towering over the forests below.

We bid farewell to the lowlands for the pleasant climes of Tari and the fabulous Ambua Lodge. The birding around Ambua and along the Highlands Highway to Tari Gap is always good, and this year was no exception despite continued logging pressure. The availability of fruit is particularly crucial for birds in PNG, and it appeared to be a good season around Ambua. A pair of the rare and nomadic Spotted Berrypecker were two of the first birds we encountered at the lodge and stayed faithful to the same tree for the remainder of our stay. Other good birds seen around the lodge during our stay included a surprise female Blue Bird-of-Paradise at close range (!), fabulous male Greater Lophorina, the blue-eyed Lawe’s Parotia, Buff-banded Rail on the lawn, a female MacGregor’s Bowerbird, Fan-tailed Monarch, Black-mantled Goshawk, and the resident Great Woodswallows that continued to feast on the abundance of moths attracted by the lights. Each day we ventured uphill from the lodge by bus and enjoyed several great sessions along the Highlands Hwy below Tari Gap. The change in altitude is stark as you creep up the hill here, and we did very well with some of the classic highland forest species, as well as a few surprises: alien-like King-of-Saxony Bird-of-Paradise; machine-gun sounding male Brown Sicklebill showed well; robins were well represented with White-winged, Garnet, Black-throated, and Blue-gray all seen well; Regent, Brown-backed, and Sclater’s whistlers; a pair of the scarce Gray Thornbill; stunning male Ribbon-tailed Astrapias; gorgeous Plum-faced Lorikeets; Red-collared Myzomela; yodeling Belford’s Melidectes; a pair of the erratic Eastern Crested Berrypecker; and a wonderful encounter with a Blue-capped Ifrita.",[104011],{"type":63,"attrs":104012},{"color":21},{"text":2912,"type":52,"marks":104014},[104015],{"type":63,"attrs":104016},{"color":65},{"type":54,"attrs":104018,"content":104019},{"textAlign":2895},[104020,104025],{"text":104021,"type":52,"marks":104022},"After another quick and pleasant charter flight we were soon in the highland city of Mount Hagen.

We spent our first afternoon around the lodge enjoying the more confiding birds such as Brehm’s Tiger-Parrot, Belford’s Melidectes, Smoky Honeyeater, Papuan Island Thrush, Large Scrubwren, several impressive adult Ribbon-tailed Astrapias, male Brown Sicklebills, and a wonderful sighting of a Stella's Lorikeet.",[104023],{"type":63,"attrs":104024},{"color":21},{"text":2912,"type":52,"marks":104026},[104027],{"type":63,"attrs":104028},{"color":65},{"type":54,"attrs":104030,"content":104031},{"textAlign":2895},[104032,104037],{"text":104033,"type":52,"marks":104034},"The following day we started in the village of Kama, where Lesser Bird-of-Paradise made us wait but eventually behaved.

That afternoon we spent a very enjoyable stationary session at Murmur Pass, where we watched the birds come to us at another beautiful viewpoint over a clearing. Males of several species of bird-of-paradise showed well, including Stephanie's Astrapia, Brown Sicklebill, and King-of Saxony, plus Loria's Satinbird; the strange Wattled Ploughbill even put in an

A local herder has been keeping tabs on the roosting Egyptian Nightjars for years. Today he had three birds in close company, and we enjoyed exceptional scope views of the master of camouflage. Another stunning desert inhabitant was the Desert Sparrow. Several of these beauties were hanging around a tented camp, eating stale bread so we could enjoy them at our leisure—surely one of the best-looking Old World sparrows. All this occurred before an excellent lunch at a nearby kasbah. After lunch, we went to an irrigated agricultural area; there, among the Salt Cedars, we found a family group of Fulvous Chatterers.

We enjoyed a near-constant procession of Western Yellow Wagtails of three subspecies, migrants that found this stopover to their liking. Sedge Warblers, Common and Iberian Chiffchaffs, and Bee-eaters were all moving through. Little Ringed Plover and Marbled Duck were spotted on the lake. Great Crested Grebes, Little Stint, Kentish Plover, and even a few Eurasian Coots had found this oasis in the desert.

It was refreshing to watch hundreds of school-bound kids making their way to class through the gate on mopeds, bicycles, and on foot! A short drive away, we found the singing Eastern Olivaceous Warbler in its tamarisk home. Heading back west, we partially retraced our steps and then struck out on a new southern route as we birded our way to the edge of Marrakech before heading back up the High Atlas. Along the way, we found a couple of tardy Black Storks soaring overhead, making their way to Europe for the summer.

In the morning we had made a couple cultural stops, but as always we were looking for birds, even at the stunning old fortress of Ait Ben Haddu. Where we saw a distant Montagu’s Harrier winging its way north as well as European Bee-eaters calling and flying northward. As we climbed the river valley the trees got bigger and Santi knew the place to stop for Levaillant’s Woodpecker. Soon we had a pair in the scope but the male disappeared into the cavity, leaving us to admire the female as she looked around. The pass at 8000 feet was windy, cloudy and not inviting for birding so we kept driving. Down the switchback road we curved and swerved our way to an excellent tagine lunch on the roadside.

Blackbirds, Blackcap, Wren, and the charming little European Robin were all accounted for in the gardens at Aurocher. We started early the next day to take advantage of the clear skies at the highest elevation we would bird. We drove up another curvy road to 8800 feet. There with crystal skies the Crimson-winged Finch cooperated. Several of these gorgeous birds were easily seen on the roadside with Rock Sparrows, Red-billed and Yellow-billed choughs swirled overhead making their toy laser gun calls. We walked through the quiet ski village observing the snow receding up the mountains, ski season was over. Walking past dozens of stone shelters we made our way to a patch of open ground to see the Atlas Horned Lark and Atlas Wheatear. Mistle Thrush and Blue Rock-Thrush brightened our walk as we made our way to a stunning overlook with snow-capped mountains all around, not the typical African view! After our walk in the mountains we returned to a tiny lodge for our well-earned treat. A simple rustic apple tart that was exquisite, crispy and crusty but soft and warm, divine. Coffee amplified our enjoyment of the mountain scene, the gorgeous blue skies, and the amazing birds we had just enjoyed. As we weaved our way down the mountain we had another stop in mind. Along the rushing rocky stream, perfect dipper habitat we spied a couple Gray Wagtails, then a White-throated Dipper ceased dipping for us to study the simple creature with extraordinary abilities.

We made a quick stop to buy some fresh bread from a woman baking in her roadside clay oven with a teapot on top. The bread was steaming hot and delicious! We descended until we found the blue skies again in the Ourika Valley. Once we wound our way to a fabulous lunch spot we enjoyed birding and a wonderful meal at the Ourika Lodge.

the past few years, much of southern Arizona has been experiencing extreme drought conditions, and that persisted through this year’s camp. In fact, two brief thunderstorms early on in our camp produced some of the only measurable rain all year. As a result, some species were scarcer than usual, particularly grassland sparrows, which can be very quiet until the rains begin. We felt lucky to find one each of Cassin’s, Botteri’s, and Grasshopper sparrows. Other species were in lower numbers than usual, perhaps because they did not breed in the spring. Insect and herp numbers were also low. On the plus side (for us, at least), more limited resources meant that birds were more concentrated than usual. Small pools of water were magnets for songbirds, even more than usual, and provided us some spectacular observations. Butterflies were also more concentrated than usual, around limited nectar sources, making for some fun butterflying. Nightjars were considerably more vocal than usual, perhaps a combination of the full moon and presumably poor breeding results during “first spring.” As we always do, we tweaked our schedule to take best advantage of existing conditions and ended up with an excellent species list of birds, mammals, and other wildlife.",[106163],{"type":63,"attrs":106164},{"color":21},{"text":2912,"type":52,"marks":106166},[106167],{"type":63,"attrs":106168},{"color":65},{"type":54,"attrs":106170,"content":106171},{"textAlign":48},[106172,106177],{"text":106173,"type":52,"marks":106174},"Beginning in Tucson, our first afternoon outing was to the famous Madera Canyon with a visit to the feeders at Santa Rita Lodge. Under cloudy skies and a hint of drizzle, the feeders were abuzz with hummingbirds including flashy Rivoli’s and Broad-billed, a rare Berylline, and even rarer Berylline x Broad-billed hybrid. We also enjoyed many other local specialties including Arizona and Acorn woodpeckers, Sulphur-bellied Flycatcher, Mexican Jay, Bridled Titmouse, Hooded Oriole, and Hepatic Tanager. It’s hard to imagine a better introduction to birding Southeast Arizona!

The eight-mile loop drive was spectacular with many saguaros and numerous other cactus species throughout this ruggedly beautiful landscape. A few desert birds we found here included Harris’s Hawk, Gila Woodpecker, Gilded Flicker, Purple Martin (the local subspecies nests in saguaros), Black-tailed Gnatcatcher, Cactus Wren, Rufous-winged and Black-throated sparrows, Lucy’s Warbler, and Pyrrhuloxia.

Surrounded by Chihuahuan Desert grasslands, this oasis always attracts a wide variety of birds, particularly migratory waterbirds. Some of the many highlights there included Blue-winged and Cinnamon teal, Mexican Duck, Black-necked Stilt, American Avocet, Long-billed Curlew, Marbled Godwit, Wilson’s Phalarope, White-faced Ibis, and Yellow-headed Blackbird. In the surrounding grasslands, we also saw Scaled Quail, Loggerhead Shrike, Bendire’s Thrasher (a rarity there), and Chihuahuan Meadowlark. Before departing Willcox, we stopped to fill up on gas and made the oddest and most surprising discovery of camp. There was a dead Dickcissel on the ground at the edge of the parking lot! Dickcissels are rare migrants in Southeast Arizona, mainly from late August to October, and extremely rare in July.

Not only is the lodge very comfortable, but it's set among strikingly beautiful surroundings and grounds that are loaded with birds and other wildlife.

At the famous South Fork of Cave Creek, we had an enchanting experience with two male Elegant Trogons countersinging while Painted Redstarts and Blue-throated Mountain-gems flashed their white tail feathers in the shady understory. At the Southwest Research Station, we enjoyed another great hummingbird show—capped off by our second Berylline—and stumbled into a Bobcat prowling a cottontail nearby. In Portal, we enjoyed close views and excellent photo-ops of various species at Dave Jasper’s feeders and found a Bell’s Vireo nest and close soaring Zone-tailed Hawk at the Big Thicket. In the San Simon Valley east of Portal, we lucked into a pair of Crissal Thrashers, found a surprisingly good variety of butterflies and dragonflies (where there was a little bit of water), and had a fun visit to the Chiricahua Desert Museum. In Paradise, a stop at the George Walker House produced a rare White-eared Hummingbird, two Juniper Titmice, and a singing Black-chinned Sparrow. In the highlands, we had excellent luck finding specialties including Mexican Chickadee, Greater Pewee, Buff-breasted Flycatcher, “Brown-throated” House Wren, Olive and Grace's warblers, and spectacular views of adult and juvenile Spotted Owls!",[106234],{"type":63,"attrs":106235},{"color":21},{"text":2912,"type":52,"marks":106237},[106238],{"type":63,"attrs":106239},{"color":65},{"type":54,"attrs":106241,"content":106242},{"textAlign":2895},[106243,106248],{"text":106244,"type":52,"marks":106245},"Our evening forays were wonderful, as always. On one night, we were privileged to have Kassandra Townsend give us a presentation about her owl research, then take us on an owl survey! Although we didn’t catch any owls, we were delighted to hear Whiskered Screech-Owl and Flammulated and Elf owls. Nightjars were way more vocal than usual, so we enjoyed hearing many Mexican Whip-poor-wills on multiple nights and managed to see one quite well. With a little patience, we also had good views of Elf Owl and Western Screech-Owl. And, although numbers of herps were low, we lucked into a beautiful Black-tailed Rattlesnake in the road. When we stopped to get a closer look, some rustling in the woods revealed a Black Bear perched up in a tree looking down at us!",[106246],{"type":63,"attrs":106247},{"color":21},{"text":2912,"type":52,"marks":106249},[106250],{"type":63,"attrs":106251},{"color":65},{"type":54,"attrs":106253,"content":106254},{"textAlign":2895},[106255,106260],{"text":106256,"type":52,"marks":106257},"Moving on to the next phase of our camp, we headed up to Mt. Lemmon, where we camped at Rose Canyon Lake. Here in the highlands, we enjoyed some relatively cool weather and fine montane birding. Having already visited highland habitats in the Chiricahuas, we had already seen most of the specialty birds, so now we had the chance to really soak them in. Right at our campsite, the dawn chorus yielded the likes of Broad-tailed Hummingbird, Greater Pewee, Hutton’s and Warbling vireos, Pygmy Nuthatch, Western Bluebird, Hermit Thrush, Olive Warbler, Pine Siskin, Yellow-eyed Junco, Spotted Towhee, and Hepatic Tanager—songs we all had enough repetition on to master. Short walks out to the lake added a few new species including Common Black Hawk, Mountain Chickadee, Bushtit, Virginia’s and Black-throated Gray warblers, and Red Crossbill. Moving farther afield, we made a few roadside stops and were thrilled to stumble into a spectacular Arizona Black Rattlesnake! A flock of agitated birds clued us in to its presence, and we followed it around (from a safe distance) for maybe twenty-five minutes as it meandered along the slope. At Marshall Gulch, a walk along the stream bed produced astonishing views of Red-faced Warbler, plus a Yellow-eyed Junco nest with tiny chicks, and an abundance of butterflies that found several small pools of water.",[106258],{"type":63,"attrs":106259},{"color":21},{"text":2912,"type":52,"marks":106261},[106262],{"type":63,"attrs":106263},{"color":65},{"type":54,"attrs":106265,"content":106266},{"textAlign":2895},[106267,106272],{"text":106268,"type":52,"marks":106269},"Next, we moved on to Sierra Vista, our base for exploring the Huachuca Mountains. A hike up Miller Canyon did not yield the Flame-colored Tanager we were looking for, but hummingbirds were spectacular. Among the eight species we found, highlights were our first Violet-crowned and an adult male Allen’s, identifiable from photos of its tail structure. We also had some wonderful Painted Redstarts here and an odd Indigo Bunting singing the song of a Varied. Our picnic lunch at Ramsey Canyon yielded our first Lucifer Hummingbird, this one a juvenile missing its tail. Then at Ash Canyon, we had excellent views of an adult male Lucifer, along with many Anna’s Hummingbirds, a single Costa’s, and many other feeder birds. Nearby, a visit to Las Cienegas National Conservation Area got us into some pristine grassland habitat where Horned Larks, Chihuahuan Meadowlarks, and Lark Sparrows were numerous, and several Pronghorns showed well. Presumably due to very dry conditions, several other grassland species were largely silent, but we did manage to find single Cassin’s and Grasshopper sparrows.",[106270],{"type":63,"attrs":106271},{"color":21},{"text":2912,"type":52,"marks":106273},[106274],{"type":63,"attrs":106275},{"color":65},{"type":54,"attrs":106277,"content":106278},{"textAlign":2895},[106279,106284],{"text":106280,"type":52,"marks":106281},"The final segment of our camp was based in the town of Patagonia, along the famous Sonoita Creek. Right as we got into town we were greeted by a soaring Mississippi Kite, which eventually led us to its nest. A vist to the famous Paton Center for Hummingbirds gave us our first real taste of riparian habitat. Phainopeplas were flying over constantly, and Yellow-breasted Chats were calling all over the place, often popping into view. Yellow-billed Cuckoos were calling as well, and one even led us to its nest. Feeders were tended by Common Ground Dove, Violet-crowned Hummingbird, Abert’s Towhee, and Varied Bunting, and the low canopy held the likes of Northern Beardless Tyrannulet and Thick-billed Kingbird. When we finally tore ourselves away from the Paton’s, we headed up Harshaw Canyon to look for the very rare Rose-throated Becard. After a little searching, we found the pair of becards at its nest, along with a Gray Hawk nest with at least one chick! One night, we had a fun outing resulting in excellent views of Elf Owl. We also used our black light to find numerous scorpions and many interesting moths, beetles, and other insects. At Patagonia Lake State Park, a few waterbirds and numerous dragonflies were new for our list, and we also visited a few spots along the Santa Cruz River, where we found Tropical Kingbird, Black-bellied Whistling-Duck, and several Gray Hawks.",[106282],{"type":63,"attrs":106283},{"color":21},{"text":2912,"type":52,"marks":106285},[106286],{"type":63,"attrs":106287},{"color":65},{"type":54,"attrs":106289,"content":106290},{"textAlign":2895},[106291,106296],{"text":106292,"type":52,"marks":106293},"On our final morning, we looped around the east and north sides of the Santa Rita Mountains to visit Box Canyon. This beautiful canyon has become something of a birding mecca in recent years, because it harbors a few pairs of the very local Five-striped Sparrow. We had nice views of this species, amazing views of a Varied Bunting, plus several Rock Wrens, a Thick-billed Kingbird, and a few interesting butterflies. Farther down the canyon toward Florida Wash we added Golden Eagle and Botteri’s Sparrow, two species that had eluded us to that point. After a second visit to Santa Rita Lodge in Madera Canyon and another blizzard of hummingbirds, we finished up camp back in Tucson at the home of fellow VENT leader, Brian Gibbons. Brian had discovered a Gila Monster riding out the hot hours of the day in the shade of his back porch, and we were thrilled that it remained there for all of us to see!

again, our Grand Alaska Part II tour was a huge success. From boreal forest and tundra birds in the Denali region to spruce forest dwellers around Anchorage and Seward to wonderful seabirds in Kenai Fjords National Park, our avian list was superb. Additionally, we had wonderful mammal viewing throughout the trip (18 total species seen—possibly a tour record) and had Denali in full view (albeit through some serious smoke haze from nearby fires) for two days in a row! What more could you ask for? Our tour began with a wonderful dinner in downtown Anchorage. A brief post-dinner option to Lake Hood and Lake Spenard behind the hotel produced an absolutely stunning male Barrow’s Goldeneye from about twenty feet away and a cow Moose ambling through a residential neighborhood right in front of our vans!",[114879],{"type":63,"attrs":114880},{"color":65},{"type":54,"attrs":114882,"content":114883},{"textAlign":48},[114884],{"text":114885,"type":52,"marks":114886},"We had a full day of birding in and around Anchorage the following day. Our first stop was at Westchester Lagoon, where we tallied a pair of Trumpeter Swans with cygnets, Greater Scaup, many nesting Red-necked Grebes (in gorgeous breeding plumage), Short-billed Gulls, Sandhill Crane, abundant Arctic Terns (some with babies), and Lincoln’s Sparrow among many others. A bathroom stop back at the hotel yielded wonderful looks at a pair of Redpolls sitting on the fence of the hotel parking lot. From there we headed to nearby Kincaid Park, where we walked the Mize Loop before lunch. Our efforts yielded repeated views of a male American Three-toed Woodpecker at a nest, Alder Flycatcher, glimpses of a nesting pair of Boreal Chickadees, Swainson’s Thrush, and Orange-crowned Warbler. A close bull Moose at Viola Swamp was a bonus!",[114887],{"type":63,"attrs":114888},{"color":21},{"type":54,"attrs":114890,"content":114891},{"textAlign":48},[114892],{"text":114893,"type":52,"marks":114894},"After lunch, we headed down to Potter Marsh just south of town. There we added Ring-necked Ducks, nesting Bald Eagles, and Black-capped Chickadee to our rapidly growing list. With time enough for one more stop, we headed south to the town of Girdwood. Spruce forests there produced our first Varied Thrush, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Townsend’s Warbler, Wilson’s Warbler, and an American Goshawk nest with two babies (the adult bird seen only in flight). Despite the excellent birding, our incredible dinner at Kincaid Grill may have been the highlight of the day! A successful first day indeed! The next day, we headed north towards the Denail region. En route we birded an area known as the Sockeye Burn, where we very quickly found a rare Black-backed Woodpecker that posed for scope views, in addition to a Boreal Chickadee pair from about fifteen feet away and a wonderful family group of Canada Jays. A nearby Osprey was a bonus. Further north, we stopped for lunch at McKinley View Lodge for lunch. The mountain was completely obstructed by clouds, but we had fantastic studies of gorgeous Violet-green Swallows nesting in the building. Later, we detoured onto the beginning stretches of the Denali Highway tallying White-winged Scoter, Bufflehead, Common Merganser, Lesser Yellowlegs (in trees!), Wilson’s Snipe (also in a tree), Fox and Lincoln’s sparrows, Northern Waterthrush, and Blackpoll Warbler. A very close Moose alongside the highway capped things off. Pretty good results for a travel day!",[114895],{"type":63,"attrs":114896},{"color":65},{"type":54,"attrs":114898,"content":114899},{"textAlign":48},[114900],{"text":114901,"type":52,"marks":114902},"Much of the following day was spent inside Denali National Park on the park sponsored Tundra Wilderness Tour. Shortly before 9 AM, we boarded our tour bus that would take us into the national park. Due to a fairly recent landslide (in 2021), we could only go as far as mile 43 on the park road. This limited our chances for some of the mammals, as well as birds. Still, we had a very nice trip into the park highlighted by a stunning male Spruce Grouse (thanks Leslie!), two families of Willow Ptarmigan with adorable little babies, a wonderfully close Golden Eagle, four Caribou, a dozen distant Dall’s Sheep, and five Grizzly Bears! Although the smoke haze from nearby fires made viewing far less than ideal, we had Denali in full view from several points in the road! This only occurs on average on 10% of June days, so we were very fortunate.",[114903],{"type":63,"attrs":114904},{"color":65},{"type":54,"attrs":114906,"content":114907},{"textAlign":48},[114908],{"text":114909,"type":52,"marks":114910},"A late evening run up to Healy added a rare Blue-winged Teal, Surf Scoter, a pair of Solitary Sandpipers, Northern Flicker, and a very cooperative Yellow Warbler. We returned to the Denali Highway the next morning with a full day to explore the road. We managed to cover almost 40 miles of the highway before we had to turn back. Highlights were plentiful on this day and included two Merlins, Olive-sided Flycatcher, a pair of American Dippers nesting under a bridge, several Arctic Warblers, a distant in-flight view of a White-winged Crossbill, and best of all, a pair of dapper Bohemian Waxwings right next to the road! And our luck with the mountain continued with more stunning views through the smoke haze. It was an awesome day! The next day we traveled back to Anchorage but had a couple of hours to poke around the Healy area a little bit more. Not too many new birds, but we did have wonderful scope views of Varied Thrush, a handsome pair of Buffleheads, and another point-blank Moose. A pair of Common Loons at Kashwitna Lake on our way back to Anchorage were also new for the list. A return to Westchester Lagoon upon arrival in Anchorage was highlighted by a pair of Red-necked Grebes with two adorable striped babies riding on their backs.",[114911],{"type":63,"attrs":114912},{"color":65},{"type":54,"attrs":114914,"content":114915},{"textAlign":48},[114916],{"text":114917,"type":52,"marks":114918},"The final leg of our journey was a visit to the Kenai Peninsula. Heading southward from Anchorage, we paused along Turnagain Arm for some much closer Dall’s Sheep than we had seen in Denali. We also tallied Red-necked Phalarope (Potter Marsh) and Red-tailed Hawk as we made our way south. Next up was the Girdwood area, where our first stop was, of course, the Alpine Bakery with its sumptuous blueberry fritters! A short distance away, we birded Granite Creek Campground. There we added Golden-crowned Kinglet (almost at arm’s length), Hermit Thrush, Golden-crowned Sparrow, and a pair of lovely Pine Grosbeaks. We had lunch at Turnagain Pass as we entered the Kenai and enjoyed excellent views of another Golden-crowned, as well as “Sooty” Fox sparrows. The scenery along the entire route was simply breathtaking. We stopped briefly along the highway for scope views of Mountain Goats before we headed to Bear Creek. A juvenile American Dipper foraged along the edge of the weir, Bald Eagles sailed right over our heads, and we watched Sockeye Salmon navigating the waterfall at the weir. After dinner, we cruised out to Lowell Point, getting close views of two Marbled Murrelets from shore, as well as a dozen Harlequin Ducks, three Wandering Tattlers, and a Pigeon Guillemot!",[114919],{"type":63,"attrs":114920},{"color":65},{"type":54,"attrs":114922,"content":114923},{"textAlign":48},[114924],{"text":114925,"type":52,"marks":114926},"A nine-hour boat trip into Kenai Fjords National Park and the Alaska Maritimes National Wildlife Refuge was on tap for the next day. We enjoyed generally good weather (with the exception of the first hour or so of fog and drizzle), and we had spectacular success! We saw all of the hoped-for seabirds, including hundreds of Horned and Tufted puffins, Pigeon Guillemot, Common (many hundreds) and Thick-billed (19 total) murres, Marbled and Ancient murrelets, Parakeet (exceptional views) and Rhinoceros auklets, Black-legged Kittiwakes by the thousands, two close Black Oystercatchers, and three Red-faced Cormorants (best views in years of this declining species). But it was the views of the rare, glacier-loving Kittlitz’s Murrelet that stole the show. We tallied an unbelievable 34 in about thirty minutes with multiple pairs on the water right off the boat. It was ultimately voted the favorite bird of the tour! The mammals were nearly as good as the birds with four Humpback Whales, a pod of three Killer Whales, two rarely seen Fin Whales, numerous Steller’s Sea Lions, over a hundred Harbor Seals, ten or so Dall’s Porpoises riding the bow for nearly ten minutes (simply awesome), and comical Sea Otters (some with babies). Additionally, Northwestern Glacier was calving some while we visited, so we had nice viewing of ice chunks crashing into the water.

year’s Nome Pre-Trip was, once again, an epically successful adventure. We saw pretty much every regularly occurring target bird, added a few rarities, and saw wonderful mammals as well. All this despite challenging weather (rainy, windy, and cool) pretty much throughout our stay. With its combination of Western Alaskan specialties, northern tundra specialists, breeding plumaged birds that look so different from how we typically see them in the Lower 48, and possible Asiatic strays, Nome birding is simply awesome. The mammal viewing, expansive scenery, and true wilderness feel only add to the appeal.  Our tour began with a superb meal at Kincaid Grill in Anchorage (the salmon & halibut were to die for). Afterwards, we made a quick visit to Lake Hood and Spenard behind our hotel, tallying Pacific Loon, Red-necked Grebe, and Barrow’s and Common goldeneyes among others. A nice first taste of Alaskan birding!",[116781],{"type":63,"attrs":116782},{"color":65},{"type":54,"attrs":116784,"content":116785},{"textAlign":48},[116786],{"text":116787,"type":52,"marks":116788},"The next day, we arrived in Nome in the mid-morning and hit the ground running. The birds came fast and furious—Red-throated Loon, Red-necked Grebe, Long-tailed Jaeger, Arctic Tern, Red-necked Phalarope, Redpoll, and Fox and American Tree sparrows were among the many species we tallied on the edge of town at our first couple of stops. A quick run by the airport produced stunning views of a rare White Wagtail singing atop the terminal building, while a stop at the Nome River mouth yielded Pacific Loon, Pacific Golden-Plover, Sabine’s Gull, a few distant Aleutian Terns, and Short-eared Owl among others. Quite the haul before our first lunch!",[116789],{"type":63,"attrs":116790},{"color":65},{"type":54,"attrs":116792,"content":116793},{"textAlign":48},[116794],{"text":116795,"type":52,"marks":116796},"In the afternoon, we headed out the Teller Road (the road running west of town) for the remainder of the day. At the Penny River, we had a perched American Dipper so close that we almost couldn’t focus the scopes on it. Willow thickets were alive with Gray-cheeked Thrush, Fox and Golden-crowned sparrows, Yellow and Orange-crowned warblers, and Northern Waterthrush to name a few. A short distance beyond, the ghostly forms of a herd of Muskox were spotted roaming about the hillside in the fog. We birded our way further out the road and the hits kept coming—Long-tailed Duck, Willow Ptarmigan, Whimbrel, Bar-tailed Godwit, Rough-legged Hawk, and Arctic Warbler. We were finding good birds at a dizzying pace. A stop in a residential area at the end of the day yielded the always uncommon Northern Shrike. We celebrated with a nice meal and cold beer at Airport Pizza that evening.  The entire next day was spent on the Council Road (the road running east of town past Safety Lagoon). Despite cold (starting in the low 40s and only reaching the upper 40s), drizzly, and foggy conditions (or more likely because of it), we had an absolutely magical day. It seemed as if we found a great bird at every stop! Near Cape Nome, we tallied a rare Black Guillemot, a Peregrine Falcon, and several stunning Harlequin Ducks. Around Safety Sound, we were met by astounding numbers of Red Phalaropes. Normally this species is fairly rare in Nome by mid-June, but we counted 231 on one pond! Big numbers of Red-necked Phalaropes were mingling in with the Reds.",[116797],{"type":63,"attrs":116798},{"color":65},{"type":54,"attrs":116800,"content":116801},{"textAlign":48},[116802],{"text":116803,"type":52,"marks":116804},"Stunning Sabine’s Gull’s (uncommon migrant) and Black-legged Kittiwakes foraged in the rip line where the lagoon met the incoming tide. Common Eiders lounged on the shore. Hulking Glaucous Gulls sailed lazily past, while Red-throated, Common, and Pacific loons fed actively in the lagoon. More Short-eared Owls were found over the tundra, and brilliant Lapland Longspurs sang from the driftwood. A male Eurasian Wigeon was a nice find, as were several Black Turnstones feeding in the wrack line on the beach. Numbers of uncommon diving ducks were encountered in the lagoon, including 19 Common Goldeneyes, several Canvasbacks, a Ring-necked Duck, and numbers of Surf and Black scoters. Near the Bonanza Channel, we were stunned to find a group of 20 or so Aleutian Terns right next to the road, offering our best views ever of this highly sought species. Just before the tiny village of Solomon, the road turned inland. We quickly began seeing Redpolls in very large numbers along the roadsides. In a short period, we counted 80 individuals! It seemed that the bad weather was actually helping us. Further out the road, a tip on a Gyrfalcon resulted in fantastic views of this iconic Arctic species from close range!",[116805],{"type":63,"attrs":116806},{"color":65},{"type":54,"attrs":116808,"content":116809},{"textAlign":48},[116810],{"text":116811,"type":52,"marks":116812},"Eventually it was time to start heading back towards Nome, but the great birds just kept coming. A male Rock Ptarmigan blasted across the road and landed in a spot where we enjoyed fairly close scope views. A short way down the road, a Northern Wheatear perched up atop a small alder. This uncommon species is easily missed on a visit to Nome. Three Eastern Yellow Wagtails were spotted in some driftwood on the edge of a lagoon near Solomon. Finally, we capped off our epic day with the discovery of a pair of rare Arctic Loons near MP 25. I told our group it was the best bad weather birding day I could ever remember having! Day Three found us heading out the Teller Road again, this time for a full day. Among all the wonderful birds we saw, nothing was more memorable than the 141 Muskox scattered throughout the day. There were close herds, big bulls, adorable babies with fuzzy, white boots—you name it, we saw it.

Weather conditions were much better with temperatures climbing dramatically from the two previous days (into the upper 50s), some sunshine, and almost no rain. Two different Golden Eagles sitting on nests high above the road were a real treat to start the day! We also had nice views of a beaver, including a dramatic tail slap. Singing Arctic Warblers (we would count 20 for the day) sat up for fantastic views, and a close male Bluethroat put on an absolutely epic display of skylarking and singing (it would be voted the favorite bird of the tour!). At Salmon Lake, our luck continued with a pair of rare Yellow-billed Loons (this gave us a rare five loon sweep over a 24-hour period!). A Say’s Phoebe at the northern edge of its range was also of note. We had lunch at a high tundra pass and enjoyed a few of the first blooming tundra wildflowers.",[116829],{"type":63,"attrs":116830},{"color":65},{"type":54,"attrs":116832,"content":116833},{"textAlign":48},[116834,116839,116844],{"text":116835,"type":52,"marks":116836},"We finally arrived at Curlew Mountain in the early afternoon and began our trek up the hillside. The trail was muddy and walking difficult, as it always is, but we made progress up the mountain. A little over a half mile up, and with the vans just out of sight, a calling Bristle-thighed Curlew came flying downslope. It made a couple of passes overhead giving us good views of the pale, cinnamon rump and tail, and repeatedly calling. Eventually it landed about a hundred yards away, and we had decent scope views of the bird on the tundra. Total time from van back to van was an hour and fifty minutes. Success! A brief stop in the Pilgrim River drainage on our return produced an uncommon Black-capped Chickadee and a Blackpoll Warbler. Another great day, and this one with much improved weather! The next morning, we flew back to Anchorage with most of the group continuing on to a new adventure on our Grand Alaska Part Two tour. Our Nome trip was spectacularly successful!

is a lovely time to be in the Washington Cascades. The weather is beautiful, wildflowers carpet the mountain meadows, and wildlife is abundant. Leavenworth is our home base for the week, a German-themed town nestled on the east side of the Cascades in the shadow of the towering Enchantment Mountains. The town is a couple of weeks out from the high tourist season, so it feels like we are the only ones there. Birds are singing away on recently established territories. There is no shortage of awesome locations to seek out some of these Northwest specialties. Leavenworth also has a surprising number of high-quality restaurants to enjoy, most within walking distance of the hotel.

We got to know each other and were eager to start our adventure. The next morning, we arose and did some birding around the Seattle area. A great spot about ten minutes from the hotel has been reliable in recent years for Barn Owl, California Scrub-Jay, and Black Phoebe. We were successful in seeing all three! Travel days are all about timing, so we had to maximize our time to see as many birds as we could on the west side of the mountains. A stop at Lake Sammamish State Park gave us great looks at Chestnut-backed Chickadee, Black-headed Grosbeak, and Red-breasted Sapsucker. We were feeling good about our targets for the morning, so we headed up and over the Cascades. A stop near Snoqualmie Pass netted us Barrow’s Goldeneye. One more stop on the east side of the Cascades gave us our first looks at Western Bluebird, Pygmy Nuthatch, and Cassin’s Finch.

We started at one of my favorite places to bird in all of Washington, the Leavenworth National Fish Hatchery. There are miles of trails meandering along Icicle Creek here. It was educational to see and learn about the salmon that are raised here. The walk started out a little slow, but soon we were surrounded by Nashville Warblers, Pygmy Nuthatches, Pine Siskins, and many other birds. A little further along the trail, we found two of our main targets for the trip at the same time! While walking along Icicle Creek, I peered out into the water and saw a trio of Harlequin Ducks; at just about the same time, a White-headed Woodpecker flew in to a dead snag right in front of us. We didn't know which way to look. Luckily, both species stuck around for prolonged views. It was an amazing experience. We headed to lunch in Leavenworth with smiles on our faces. The afternoon was spent partly at Peshastin Pinnacles State Park, where we found White-throated Swifts and a flyover Golden Eagle. Optional shopping or a walk along the Wenatchee River filled the rest of the day before dinner.",{"type":54,"attrs":117398,"content":117399},{"textAlign":48},[117400],{"text":117401,"type":52},"Full day number three was a treat. Our early (ish) departure saw us heading down toward Wenatchee for a full day in Swakane Canyon. This nine-mile Forest Service road starts out near the Columbia River with desert-type habitat and winds upward through wetlands and Ponderosa Pine forests, ending in subalpine and Douglas fir forests. The variety of birds seen here can be great. The entryway to the canyon gave us great looks at Lazuli Bunting, Chukar, Canyon Wren, and Rock Wren. What a way to start the day! We wound up the canyon and were soon greeted by Lewis’s Woodpecker, a big target for the day. As we headed up-canyon to our lunch spot, we heard the booming of Ruffed Grouse and had great looks at Cassin’s Vireo. One stop after lunch was the territory of a Calliope Hummingbird, and we saw the male perched on a snag. We ended the canyon trip at a nice wetland, with Willow Flycatcher and Dusky Flycatcher giving nice views.

Our third full day in the area involved a trip out to the shrubsteppe. It was a bit of a drive to get down to where our targets were, but we made the hour-and-a-half drive with no problems. It was already getting warm at nine in the morning, so we rushed to see our three big targets: Brewer’s Sparrow, Sagebrush Sparrow, and Sage Thrasher. They came in that order and fairly quickly, and we were all able to get great looks. As we wandered around the area, we came upon a Western Pacific Rattlesnake. This was a lifer snake for just about everyone! We observed it from a safe distance, of course. The heat of the day was building, so we headed back to the mountains for lunch and more birding. A pair of Williamson’s Sapsuckers was a huge hit—the male and female could not look more different and were once considered separate species. Another huge highlight of the day was seeing a Northern Pygmy-Owl. We were walking along a Forest Service road and heard quite a few small songbirds mobbing something. Upon further inspection, the owl revealed itself and showed well for several minutes. We were all happy birders!

There was one bird that we had not seen yet that we couldn’t miss: the American Dipper. We observed two just below the bridge, foraging in the fast-moving water. You can’t dip on the dipper! At the summit of Stevens Pass, we stopped for a snack and had good looks at Hermit Thrush and Varied Thrush. We traveled down the west side of the mountains for lunch and returned to the hotel near the airport. Our final dinner was right on Puget Sound overlooking the Olympic Mountains.

Here, some of the local breeding species we found included Ruby-throated Hummingbird, Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, Red-bellied Woodpecker, Great Crested Flycatcher, Yellow-throated Vireo, Ovenbird, American Redstart (building its nest!), Rose-breasted Grosbeak, and Indigo Bunting. A Barred Owl hooting as it looked down on us was especially exciting! We also found a few late migrant passerines including Olive-sided and Alder flycatchers, and Magnolia Warbler. The adjacent Sheyenne National Grasslands gave us our first taste of grassland species that would be with us for much of the tour, such as Ring-necked Pheasant, Eastern and Western kingbirds, Lark Sparrow, Western Meadowlark, and Bobolink. We also got a good start to our mammal list with sightings of Thirteen-lined and Franklin’s ground squirrels and, most exciting of all, a Least Weasel carrying a vole!

Stunning Yellow-headed Blackbirds were present at every marsh with cattails in standing water, Black Terns floated gracefully over lakes and marshes, delicate Wilson’s Phalaropes spun in circles on marsh pools, and striking American Avocets fed along pond edges, sometimes with tiny chicks in tow. Flocks of Franklin’s Gulls with their characteristic pink-washed breasts were always coming and going, often stopping to feed in plowed fields. Eighteen species of waterfowl were present at various lakes and ponds including large numbers of showy Northern Shovelers, Redheads, Canvasbacks, and Ruddy Ducks. Meanwhile, flocks of Canada Geese were almost always flying north overhead, “molt migrants” heading to higher latitudes to begin their flightless post-breeding molt period. And even in early June, these potholes still had a good number of migrant shorebirds such as Stilt, White-rumped, and Pectoral sandpipers, all still en route to arctic breeding areas.",[117746],{"type":63,"attrs":117747},{"color":21},{"text":2912,"type":52,"marks":117749},[117750],{"type":63,"attrs":117751},{"color":32765},{"type":54,"attrs":117753,"content":117754},{"textAlign":48},[117755,117760],{"text":117756,"type":52,"marks":117757},"A few potholes were particularly exciting, such as Horsehead Lake, where we had amazing views of a calling Sora, several fly-by American Bitterns, and excellent comparisons of Clark’s and Western grebes. In the grassy transitional wetlands between Lake Henry and the surrounding prairie, we had excellent views of the skulking LeConte’s Sparrow along with several Sedge Wrens.

Although seemingly bleak at a glance, these grasslands were full of life, and the subtle cacophony of bird song in this habitat was pure magic. In our travels, we came across Sharp-tailed Grouse, Upland Sandpiper, Marbled Godwit, Willet, Swainson’s and Ferruginous hawks, Horned Lark, Western Meadowlark, Bobolink, Dickcissel, Chestnut-collared Longspur, and a dozen sparrows including Grasshopper, Clay-colored, and Vesper. We visited several “school sections,” parcels of land managed by the state Department of Land Trust to generate revenue for education. These parcels contain some of the best prairie habitat in the state and often hold good populations of some of the scarcer species. In particular, we had wonderful encounters with Baird’s Sparrow and Sprague’s Pipit in these school sections, as well as up-close views of Chestnut-collared Longspur, Bobolink, Grasshopper Sparrow, and many others.",[117770],{"type":63,"attrs":117771},{"color":21},{"text":2912,"type":52,"marks":117773},[117774],{"type":63,"attrs":117775},{"color":32765},{"type":54,"attrs":117777,"content":117778},{"textAlign":48},[117779,117784],{"text":117780,"type":52,"marks":117781},"The westernmost segment of our tour was based in Medora, just outside Theodore Roosevelt National Park and along the drainage of the Little Missouri River. This region, known as the “Badlands,” is arid and hilly with beautiful canyons and buttes exposing colorful sedimentary layers. Herds of American Bison roam free through the park, and “towns” of Black-tailed Prairie Dogs are numerous. Birdlife here is very much western, and we enjoyed seeing species like Western Wood-Pewee, Say’s Phoebe, Violet-green Swallow, Black-billed Magpie, Rock Wren, Spotted Towhee, Yellow-breasted Chat (the western subspecies just reaches here), Bullock’s Oriole, and Black-headed Grosbeak. Spectacular Lazuli Buntings were numerous, and we even got to see one alongside an out-of-place Indigo Bunting. Large stands of Ponderosa Pine at Logging Camp Ranch were home to numerous Red Crossbills, not a species one expects to see in the prairies! Nearby grasslands harbored a few species we did not see farther east, such as Long-billed Curlew, Golden Eagle, Burrowing Owl, Loggerhead Shrike, and Lark Bunting.

The Turtle Mountains are a plateau that rises 2,500 feet above sea level. Though only about 400 feet above the surrounding prairie, the habitat here is very different, with stunted oak and aspen woodlands, lakes, and bogs. Our day here had many highlights such as Common Goldeneye, Red-necked Grebe, Common Loon (the only ones breeding in the state), Broad-winged Hawk, Common Raven, Purple Finch, Pine Siskin, Eastern Towhee, Ovenbird, Black-and-white and Orange-crowned warblers, and a number of beautiful butterflies from Canadian Tiger Swallowtail to Arctic Skipper.

We were especially delighted to find a small flock of Red-necked Phalaropes, migrants still headed to their arctic breeding grounds. We also made stops along the Missouri River where a few Piping Plovers and Least Terns nest. After a visit to the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center, we made one final stop at Double Ditch State Historic Site, the location of a Mandan Native American earth lodge village, which was occupied for more than 300 years but abandoned after the smallpox epidemic in the 1780s.

Minnesota Northwoods tour was a thrilling experience, with exciting birding and delicious cuisine from our home-sweet-home lakeside hotel. There was so much to cherish every day! After meeting and greeting each other on the opening afternoon of the tour, we birded our way along the beautiful waters of Lake Superior. It was fun to see birds like Eastern Kingbirds and an American Redstart migrating through the area. A Northern Flicker flew past us, and Chimney Swifts were enjoyed, too. To set foot on the world’s longest freshwater sandbar was a treat. It was a fun start to the tour, with some birding followed by a wonderful opening dinner.",{"type":54,"attrs":119063,"content":119064},{"textAlign":48},[119065],{"text":119066,"type":52},"We had the legendary Sax-Zim Bog lined up for our first full day of the tour. While entering the Bog vicinity, we enjoyed views of a perched Broad-winged Hawk and a displaying Wilson’s Snipe winnowing overhead. A sneaky Sedge Wren chattered nearby, and although it was heard-only at the time, we scored some amazing views of this little grassland sprite later in the trip. After all, we were just beginning our morning. We made our way into the beautiful old-growth spruce and tamarack forest. Before we knew it, we were locking our binoculars onto a spectacular Great Gray Owl! This large and gentle giant of the woods could not have been more relaxed, perching on branches along the roadside and keeping an eye out for food for both itself and its young tucked somewhere deep in the woods beyond our view. What a thrill it was to see this incredible bird on our first morning.",{"type":54,"attrs":119068,"content":119069},{"textAlign":48},[119070],{"text":119071,"type":52},"As the morning progressed in that part of the Bog, we enjoyed birds like Purple Finch, chatty Chestnut-sided Warblers among the willows, Nashville Warblers among the evergreens, and a male Golden-winged Warbler. A little later, we found ourselves looking at three Black-billed Magpies, a very special bird to see locally (Sax-Zim Bog is home to the easternmost population of this species within its range). Up another road, we found ourselves looking at yet another Great Gray Owl, certainly a different bird based on the distance from the original Great Gray Owl we had found. It was hard to comprehend seeing two different Great Gray Owls in one morning. A casual walk on the forest road had us directing our focus to a singing Connecticut Warbler. The bird’s song was coming from quite a way into the dense green foliage, and we prepared ourselves for the walk. After walking through beautiful forest, we locked our sights on the singing male Connecticut Warbler. It was surreal and magical, following two Great Gray Owls, all on our first morning! After a hearty lunch, we enjoyed scope views of Trumpeter Swans and a breeding-plumage Common Loon. What a fun day, topped with a tasty dinner!",{"type":54,"attrs":119073,"content":119074},{"textAlign":48},[119075],{"text":119076,"type":52},"The next morning we headed north, into even deeper forests and to do some exploring along the shore. The cool air was refreshing as we enjoyed a beautiful sunny morning and a meandering river surrounded by woods, with singing Red-eyed Vireo and Black-and-white Warbler nearby. Hearing a Red-bellied Woodpecker was a treat, as this species is quite uncommon this far north in the state. A bit of birding along the scenic shoreline had us looking at a breeding-plumage Red-throated Loon paddling around on the calm waters of Lake Superior. The surface of Lake Superior was ethereal and glass-like, and we had fantastic scope views of this exciting bird, another uncommon treat seen only in migration. We enjoyed pleasant views of a Mourning Warbler that was singing behind us, as well as a chatty Magnolia Warbler. Another daily delight on this tour is that every warbler we come across is in peak breeding plumage, a treat to the eyes…and their frequently given songs, a treat to our ears. At stop after stop throughout the northern forests, we were delighted to see and hear such amazing birds. A Northern Parula was seen and heard singing in the trees above us. One of the highlights, and a target bird of the morning, was a Tennessee Warbler. We observed at least ten of this far northern-nesting species, each on territory! Cape May Warblers sang nearby, and a Northern Waterthrush also sang from its thicket overlooking a peaceful pond. One of the most unusual birds of the morning was a Mourning Dove feeding alongside the forest highway on our way to Lake Superior. It was a surprise to see this Mourning Dove out in the wilderness, typically more expected in people’s backyards where birdfeeders are present. We enjoyed fifteen warbler species that morning, all before our picnic lunch. We were serenaded by a Black-throated Green Warbler during our picnic. The views of Lake Superior were spectacular that afternoon, with calm lake conditions continuing and sunny skies like icing on a cake. An array of beautiful waterfowl was seen on the drive down to Duluth, as were several delightful Franklin’s Ground Squirrels. We also took some time to enjoy the cascading waterfalls.",{"type":54,"attrs":119078,"content":119079},{"textAlign":48},[119080],{"text":119081,"type":52},"There is always more to see in Sax-Zim Bog, with this landscape covering about three hundred square miles. On the drive up the next morning, we enjoyed views of an Osprey and a Merlin (which flew by at what seemed to be the speed of light). As we meandered our way into Sax-Zim Bog proper, we enjoyed wonderful views of Sandhill Cranes and Bobolinks among the fields. A LeConte’s Sparrow teased us with its thin and distant song. As the morning progressed, we found ourselves looking at a flock of White-winged Crossbills in the woods, an often-scarce species to note this time of year. We tallied 25 of them in a single flock. As they fed in front of us, a Hermit Thrush sang through the wall of lush vegetation while Yellow-bellied Flycatchers gave their brief songs. At one point, we had a low-angle view of a Yellow-bellied Flycatcher still singing, contrary to the typical treetop-singing behavior for which they are known. A Lincoln’s Sparrow serenaded us on the roadside. As the morning progressed, we found ourselves looking at a Great Gray Owl along the wooded edge. What an experience to have three sightings of this regal and beautiful bird. A Blue-headed Vireo and Red-eyed Vireo sang simultaneously, and it was fun to tell them apart by their songs. Before lunch, we got on a gorgeous Black-backed Woodpecker drumming and calling on the edge of the road, as well as a treetop-singing Olive-sided Flycatcher. It was fun to watch the Black-backed Woodpecker flake bark off the older trees. The birding that morning felt like “boreal fireworks,” in a peaceful yet high-energy way. In the afternoon, we saw a very busy mother Hooded Merganser herding her nine tiny ducklings in a river—adorable chaos, if you will. Yellow-throated Vireos sang overhead while we watched them. An obligatory walk around the Friends of Sax-Zim Bog Welcome Center and trails followed, as we enjoyed the many beautiful bog plants. The air was fresh and beautifully fragrant. VENT is proud to make a donation to the Friends of Sax-Zim Bog every time this tour takes place. We saw several “bouquets” of Pink Lady’s Slippers before leaving the Bog.",{"type":54,"attrs":119083,"content":119084},{"textAlign":48},[119085],{"text":119086,"type":52},"The last day of our tour always comes too soon. We headed up to Sax-Zim Bog one more time to look for a few birds we hadn’t yet seen. Early in the morning, we experienced another Wilson’s Snipe winnowing right over us, as a Least Flycatcher chattered in the woods. Gorgeous American Kestrels kept watch from the power lines overlooking the fields. One of the birds we were still looking for from earlier in the tour was a Sedge Wren. We scanned one of the field edges on this last morning and found ourselves surrounded by three Sedge Wrens (one came out and sang for us, well seen through the scope as well). It was thrilling. Upon returning to the bog habitat, we were welcomed by a family of Canada Jays and refound the flock of White-winged Crossbills still roaming around. We found ourselves looking at another Black-backed Woodpecker that morning, too, a treat to the senses. With a little patience, we enjoyed views of a handsome Canada Warbler singing in all of his breeding-plumage glory. The Canada Warbler was the twentieth species of warbler we saw on this year’s tour, seen and appreciated well. Part of the charm of this tour is its remarkable warbler diversity (among many other songbirds). Both Golden-crowned and Ruby-crowned kinglets were noted as the morning continued. We made our way back to Duluth to enjoy some local sightseeing, including the renowned Hawk Ridge. It was fun to experience this beautiful overlook, learning about the incredible magnitude of migration that pours through the area later in the year. The expanse of Lake Superior was as beautiful as ever.",{"type":54,"attrs":119088,"content":119089},{"textAlign":48},[119090],{"text":119091,"type":52},"We ended the tour at one of my favorite restaurants in Duluth, reflecting on so much fun had over the past few days of birding together, among such a strong sense of place.

in the Midwest is a season of highly variable weather. When skies are clear and winds blow from the south, it can be quite warm. But when winds blow from the north, and cloudy skies are laden with moisture, it can seem like winter is still holding on. With migration in full swing, songbirds push north with a sense of urgency, stopping only when they absolutely have to; for example, when a cold wind from the north prevents them from crossing the lake safely. Although our tour encountered chilly and often wet conditions, the result was a spectacular display of warblers held up by the weather, many feeding low and just feet away.

This area, with its rolling hills and windy roads, had a real Appalachian feel, and birdlife reflected that. Some highlights on that first morning included Red-headed Woodpecker, Scarlet Tanager, Ovenbird, and Yellow-throated, Hooded, and Blue-winged warblers. As an added bonus that day, we made a quick stop on the drive to Maumee Bay to check out a flooded field that was full of migrant shorebirds.

With cloudy skies, cool temperatures, and a stiff northeast wind, migrant songbirds were pinned down and collecting at low spots out of the wind where they could find insects to feed on. Over and over, we were dazzled by migrants practically at arm’s reach: Alder and Least flycatchers, Philadelphia and Red-eyed vireos, Veery, Gray-cheeked and Swainson’s thrushes, White-crowned and White-throated sparrows, and 23 warbler species including such stunners as Prothonotary, Cape May, Magnolia, Bay-breasted, Blackburnian, Chestnut-sided, and Canada. We left Magee downright stunned by the show of colors we had seen!

A bit of patience was required, but we ended up with nice views of the canopy-loving Cerulean Warbler, plus Blue-winged and Pine warblers. At nearby Waterloo State Recreation Area, we enjoyed seeing Sandhill Crane, Eastern Bluebird, and Eastern Meadowlark, and had a very close singing Henslow’s Sparrow that revealed itself to only a few group members. As we headed north, we made a stop along the shores of Lake Huron at Nayanquing Point State Wildlife Area.

A stroll through a patch of boreal forest along the Big Creek Boardwalk was another top highlight, as we found numerous exciting species including Golden-crowned Kinglet, Red-breasted Nuthatch, Brown Creeper, Winter Wren, Purple Finch, and Rose-breasted Grosbeak, plus ten species of warblers including nice looks at Ovenbird, Black-and-white, Nashville, Cape May, Magnolia, Pine, and Yellow-rumped. ",[120084],{"type":63,"attrs":120085},{"color":21},{"text":2912,"type":52,"marks":120087},[120088],{"type":63,"attrs":120089},{"color":65},{"type":54,"attrs":120091,"content":120092},{"textAlign":2895},[120093,120098],{"text":120094,"type":52,"marks":120095},"On the final morning of our tour, before traveling south to Detroit, we visited Au Sable State Forest, a rich mosaic of hardwood forest, swamp, bog, and edge habitats.

a three-year hiatus, we have resurrected our North Carolina: From the Swamp to the Gulf Stream tour. We had a blast! The coast of North Carolina is a gem of a place to seek out wildlife. The barrier island chain known as the Outer Banks serves many purposes. It is a protector; its mere existence stops storm surge from pummeling the mainland. It is a safe haven for nesting birds, with its miles of protected beaches and dunes. Species such as Piping Plover, Least Tern, and American Oystercatcher all use this area to raise their young. It also serves as a nursery for countless aquatic animals. The bodies of water known as sounds provide shelter from the harsh ocean and help many fish species grow until they are able to survive in the open ocean. Maritime forests and fresh water swamps teem with life. We explored all these habitats and more on our eight-day tour of Coastal North Carolina, all while enjoying the fresh local seafood of the region.",[121708],{"type":63,"attrs":121709},{"color":21},{"text":2912,"type":52,"marks":121711},[121712],{"type":63,"attrs":121713},{"color":32765},{"type":54,"attrs":121715,"content":121716},{"textAlign":2895},[121717,121722],{"text":121718,"type":52,"marks":121719},"Our tour started in Wilmington, a fast-growing city nestled on the banks of the Cape Fear River. We enjoyed riverside dining downtown to get acquainted and talk about our upcoming adventure. On the first full morning we birded the Orton Pond area. An early rise was necessary to try for our first major target of the trip, the Red-cockaded Woodpecker, a threatened species endemic to the United States. They can also be tricky to see. They emerge from their nest holes in the Longleaf Pines and spend only a few minutes here before they are off to feed far away for the day. Timing is critical. Luckily, we were just in time and had splendid views of this magnificent woodpecker. What a start! If that weren't enough, we had point-blank views of Prothonotary Warbler, or the Golden Swamp Warbler as it used to be known. Northern Bobwhite are abundant here but proved to be hard to see. We heard no less than fifteen of these little quail. The highlights were many here, and we did get great looks at another big target for the trip, the Bachman's Sparrow. A bonus was seeing a pair of the ever-increasing Black-bellied Whistling-Ducks. This species is moving into North Carolina and will surely be seen on future tours.",[121720],{"type":63,"attrs":121721},{"color":21},{"text":2912,"type":52,"marks":121723},[121724],{"type":63,"attrs":121725},{"color":32765},{"type":54,"attrs":121727,"content":121728},{"textAlign":2895},[121729,121734],{"text":121730,"type":52,"marks":121731},"A big first day indeed. We had not even had lunch yet. A pre-lunch stop at the beautiful Arlie Gardens in Wilmington provided great looks at Painted Bunting. This bird was another big target for the trip, and it made us work for it! We finally had great views as we were leaving for lunch. This was a travel day, so we had to make tracks up to Morehead City for the night. On the way we visited the north end of Topsail Island, a barrier island located a little north of Wilmington. Here the New River dumps into the ocean. The tidal flats can be great for shorebirds, such as the Whimbrel, Ruddy Turnstone, and Black-bellied Plovers we were able to see there.

We wandered the beach and took in the ocean views. A couple of late Savannah Sparrows flitted around the beach grass. A washed up Portuguese Man o' War was a neat find. Next, we headed to the little community of Beaufort. I thought it would be fun to take the water taxi out to Shackleford Banks, an island a couple of miles offshore that has had a population of wild horses brought over by the Spanish. The island is awesome for shorebirds, and we got to see one of our main targets, the Wilson's Plover, with little cotton ball chicks. An American Oystercatcher sitting on a nest was also a highlight along with several wild horses. The afternoon was spent in the Longleaf Pine forests that make up part of the Croatan National Forest. Summer Tanagers, Prothonotary Warblers, and Brown-headed Nuthatches were common here. A cooperative Swainson's Warbler was a treat. We had another fleeting glimpse of Red-cockaded Woodpecker and a Mississippi Kite. An optional night excursion to Cedar Island National Wildlife Refuge was a trip highlight. I have never seen so many Seaside Sparrows in my entire life. Clapper and Virginia rails welcomed us to the area. As the sun set over the vast marsh, we were able to hear a Black Rail, and some even got to see it briefly as it popped up and went straight back down. We ended by heading to a close by stand of woods and were surrounded by Chuck-will's-widows.

On the way we stopped again at Cedar Island National Wildlife Refuge. Glossy Ibis, Least Bittern, and Black-necked Stilts were all seen well. Our destination for the day was Hatteras, a small community at the end of a long road that extends down from the cities of Kitty Hawk and Nags Head. But, before we could get there, we had to take two ferries. The first was from Cedar Island to Ocracoke Island, a two and a half hour ferry ride through Pamlico Sound. We landed on the remote island of Ocracoke and had lunch in the small village there. Some light birding there provided great looks at Short-billed Dowitcher, Eastern Wood-Pewee, and Sanderling. Another boat awaited us for an hourlong ferry ride to Hatteras. We made it, checked into our hotel, and had an early dinner. The next two days we had plans to go out with Brian Patteson on the ",[121756],{"type":63,"attrs":121757},{"color":21},{"text":121759,"type":52,"marks":121760},"Stormy Petrel II ",[121761,121763],{"type":63,"attrs":121762},{"color":21},{"type":3231},{"text":121765,"type":52,"marks":121766},"for our pelagic trips.

The wind had picked up, and the conditions were unsafe to sail. I guess that is why we book two trips. It was a great opportunity to see some other highlights of the Outer Banks. Rain was intermittent today, so we got in what birding we could. The locally famous Salt Pond in Cape Hatteras National Seashore turned up Sandwich Terns, American Avocet, and Black Skimmers. It is kind of a hike to get there, and we didn't want to get poured on, so we headed back early and made a couple of short stops on our way north up the islands. Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge is a must see. There had been abundant rain, so the parking lot was a little flooded, which made getting into the gift shop tricky. We got to visit other scenic places on the Outer Banks today, such as Bodie Island Lighthouse, Jenette's Pier, and Buxton Woods. The Pea Island North Pond Photo Blind proved the best birding of the day with Red Knot and Gull-billed Tern as the highlights.

Everyone was relieved and excited for our trip. The boat departed at 5:00 AM to be able to get out to the Gulf Stream as early as possible. We motored quickly among somewhat choppy seas. We started to see some of our targets before the Gulf Stream. The first Black-capped Petrels showed up. Everyone was really excited to see this big target of the trip. A few Cory's Shearwaters were also seen. Once we made it out to the Gulf Stream we started to see more and more Black-capped Petrels. The first Wilson's Storm-Petrels began to arrive near the boat. The crew of the boat put out chum, or a mix of fish parts and other interesting items, to attract the birds in close. Sargasso Shearwaters also began to come in. It wasn't too long before someone yelled, \"Bermuda Petrel!\" This is a mega-rarity for the United States and shows up only a few times per year. We ended up seeing four individuals. To put that in perspective, there are around three hundred and thirty known individuals in the world. That means we got to see over one percent of the total world population! Awesome! We were overjoyed! Band-rumped Storm-Petrel, Manx Shearwater, and Bridled Tern were other highlights of the day.

We had to make our way up to Norfolk for morning departures. There was still a lot to see. A morning stop at the Old Coast Guard Station on Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge produced Piping Plover and a nice flock of breeding plumaged Red Knots. It was nice to see these birds so well as they foraged in the surf. Our next stop was Fort Raleigh National Historic Park, the site of the first attempted permanent settlement by the English in the New World. So much history here as we walked through the \"Lost Colony.\" Also some good birding. We had awesome looks at Boat-tailed Grackle, Brown-headed Nuthatch, and Great Crested Flycatcher. A picnic lunch in Duck, NC followed. You can't come on a birding trip to the Outer Banks and not go to Duck! One last stop at the Great Dismal Swamp State Park got us a few new species for our trip, including Yellow-throated Warbler, Indigo Bunting, and Acadian Flycatcher.

again, this year’s Spring Grand Arizona tour had it all. We tallied ten species of hummingbirds (including two Mexican vagrants), seven species of owls, several nice rarities, and had great looks at virtually all of our more “expected” targets. Additionally, migration was exceptional and late with many species rarely seen on this tour added to our trip list, and rather staggering numbers of some more common species tallied. Very good (=cooler than normal) weather prevailed throughout. This was certainly one of our most successful spring trips ever! Our tour began in Tucson with a visit to the famed Arizona Sonoran Desert Museum. The temperatures were surprisingly pleasant, and we tallied five Costa’s Hummingbirds (including one adult male), Gila Woodpecker, Verdin, Brown-crested Flycatcher, Cactus Wren at our feet, brilliant Hooded Orioles, the localized Rufous-winged Sparrow at point-blank range, Green-tailed Towhee, and migrant Townsend’s, Black-throated Gray, and Wilson’s warblers. A Gilded Flicker on our way back to the hotel was a great bonus. This was a nice start to our trip indeed! The next morning, we headed down to Green Valley, with our first stop at Desert Meadow Park before heading up into the Madera Canyon. There we enjoyed several nice species, including Gambel’s Quail, Inca Dove, Costa’s and Broad-billed hummingbirds, Vermilion Flycatcher, Bell’s Vireo, Brewer’s (late) and Lark sparrows, Abert’s Towhee, Lucy’s Warbler, Nashville Warbler (rare), and Blue Grosbeak. Our first stop in Madera was at the Madera Kubo, where a rare Berylline Hummingbird had been recently spotted. A variety of feeders and water features there hosted many species, including Wild Turkey, Rivoli’s Hummingbird, Acorn Woodpecker, Mexican Jay, Bridled Titmouse, the always angry-looking Yellow-eyed Junco, stunning Painted Redstarts, Black-headed Grosbeak, and Hepatic Tanager.",[122163],{"type":63,"attrs":122164},{"color":65},{"type":54,"attrs":122166,"content":122167},{"textAlign":48},[122168],{"text":122169,"type":52,"marks":122170},"By mid-morning we were headed to the upper parking area of Madera Canyon in search of the iconic Elegant Trogon. Despite a lengthy hike and some reports of trogon sightings by others, we did not locate one on this day. We did, however, have incredible views of the incomparable Red-faced Warbler (seldom seen low down in this canyon), in addition to other new species such as Dusky-capped Flycatcher, Hammond’s Flycatcher, Western Flycatcher, Swainson’s and Hermit thrushes, and Black-throated Gray and Grace’s warblers. After lunch, we headed up Box Canyon hoping to find the extremely localized and highly-sought Five-striped Sparrow. Luck was on our side, as we had point-blank views of this prize within ten minutes. On our way back to Tucson for a mid-afternoon break, we paused near Sahuarita to look for Harris’s Hawk. We quickly located a family group of four birds in a pine, enjoying nice scope looks, including a copulation by the adults!",[122171],{"type":63,"attrs":122172},{"color":65},{"type":54,"attrs":122174,"content":122175},{"textAlign":48},[122176],{"text":122177,"type":52,"marks":122178},"That evening, we returned to the Santa Rita Mountains for our first owling excursion. On the way, we spied a Crested Caracara (rare here) perched atop a saguaro. Lesser Nighthawks, along with Violet-green Swallows, swarmed over the desert on our way up into the canyon, allowing wonderful views. We topped things off with scope studies of a tiny Elf Owl at its nest and quick, but close, views of a Western Screech-Owl. This was a wonderful first full day! The next day found us back in the Santa Rita Mountains, this time focusing all our efforts on finding a trogon. Our nearly mile-long hike up the canyon was rewarded with the best views ever of this most iconic bird of southeast Arizona. We had a male as close as ten feet at times, and enjoyed watching it for over ten minutes. It would ultimately be voted the favorite bird of the tour! On our way back down the canyon, we stopped again at the Madera Kubo, and this time the rare Berylline Hummingbird showed up in quick order. At nearby Santa Rita Lodge, we tallied an Arizona Woodpecker and a male Bronzed Cowbird.",[122179],{"type":63,"attrs":122180},{"color":65},{"type":54,"attrs":122182,"content":122183},{"textAlign":48},[122184],{"text":122185,"type":52,"marks":122186},"After a superb lunch at Elvira’s in Tubac, we stopped along nearby Bridge Road. Gray Hawk, Tropical Kingbird, countless Phainopeplas, Summer Tanager, and Yellow-breasted Chat were among the many species seen there in the early afternoon. We opted for a brief stop at Las Lagunas de Anza in Nogales before heading to the hotel for a well-deserved break. Green Heron, Gray and Swainson’s hawks, another Tropical Kingbird, Common Yellowthroat, and Song Sparrow were all added to our list. The following morning, we ventured out Ruby Road as far as the entrance to Sycamore Canyon. It was largely quiet along the way with Rock Wren, Rufous-crowned Sparrow, and Canyon Towhee being the only new birds. However, upon arriving at Sycamore Canyon, we found an oak tree that was freshly leafing out, and it was swarming with birds. Eight Townsend’s Warblers, three rare Hermit Warblers, and a stunning male Varied Bunting (thanks Michelle!) topped the list, but that one tree had thirteen species of birds in it! Additionally, a pair of Zone-tailed Hawks soared right overhead!",[122187],{"type":63,"attrs":122188},{"color":65},{"type":54,"attrs":122190,"content":122191},{"textAlign":48},[122192],{"text":122193,"type":52,"marks":122194},"Following lunch (and the greatest apple pie in the world!), we opted for a relaxing afternoon at the Paton Hummingbird Center in Patagonia. We quickly landed our primary target, the flashy Violet-crowned Hummingbird, with Ladder-backed Woodpecker, Northern Beardless-Tyrannulet, and a rare Rose-breasted Grosbeak thrown in for good measure. We ended the day with some birding in nearby Harshaw Canyon. Scope views of Thick-billed Kingbird were particularly memorable, but we also had a Gray Hawk on a nest and a migrant Olive-sided Flycatcher. Another great day in the books! Day Five found us back in Patagonia, starting out at the famous Patagonia Roadside Rest Area, where several White-throated Swifts rocketed overhead, while a return to Harshaw Canyon produced a rare sighting of Vaux’s Swift. Heading eastward through the nearby Sonoita Grasslands, we tallied the newly-split Chihuahuan Meadowlark, as well as Horned Lark, a very late Lark Bunting, and many Lark Sparrows. After lunch, we headed to Willcox, where several rarities had been recently reported. We enjoyed an excellent visit there with ten species of shorebirds (including a very rare American Golden Plover, American Avocet, Black-necked Stilt, Baird’s Sandpiper, and Wilson’s and Red-necked phalaropes among others), Mexican Duck, Cinnamon Teal, White-faced Ibis, and Franklin’s Gull. In total, we added twenty species to our rapidly growing list at this site.  We rounded out the day with a late afternoon visit to Ash Canyon south of Sierra Vista. There, we found the hoped-for Lucifer Hummingbird in record-breaking time—one minute after arrival. Brilliant Anna’s Hummingbirds, many Broad-tailed Hummingbirds, tons of Western Tanagers, and Bullock’s and Scott’s orioles were among the other more noteworthy species.",[122195],{"type":63,"attrs":122196},{"color":65},{"type":54,"attrs":122198,"content":122199},{"textAlign":48},[122200],{"text":122201,"type":52,"marks":122202},"The next day, we visited scenic Carr Canyon in the Huachuca Mountains. This is typically my favorite day of the tour, and on this day it did not disappoint. The highlights were almost too numerous to mention, but included Zone-tailed Hawk, Greater Pewee, several Buff-breasted Flycatchers, Hutton’s and Plumbeous vireos, Brown Creeper, Bushtit, Eastern Bluebird, Olive Warbler, Virginia’s Warbler, Grace’s Warbler, Black-throated Gray Warbler, Painted Redstart, and a fabulous Red-faced Warbler from about fifteen feet away!",[122203],{"type":63,"attrs":122204},{"color":65},{"type":54,"attrs":122206,"content":122207},{"textAlign":48},[122208],{"text":122209,"type":52,"marks":122210},"The afternoon highlights consisted of a relaxing feeder watch in Miller Canyon (adding Blue-throated Mountain-gem among six species of hummingbirds seen; also, the frog pond produced great views of a couple of the highly endangered Chiricahua Leopard Frogs) and a fantastic view of Greater Roadrunner on our third attempt below Ramsey Canyon. After dinner, we had a rather magical owling excursion. It began with nice looks at several Common Poorwills and ended with a Whiskered Screech-Owl right over our heads. We visited Miller Canyon the following morning in search of the vagrant pair of Flame-colored Tanagers that were hanging out at that location. Alas, we could not locate them and settled for more views of Arizona Woodpecker, Red-faced Warbler, Townsend’s Warbler, and Hepatic Tanager, as well as a totally unexpected Black Bear! By late morning we were headed to historic Bisbee for lunch. From there, it was on to the Chiricahua Mountains for the last three days of our trip. Along the way, we made successful stops for both Crissal (#900 for Harold) and Bendire’s (#900 for Nora) thrashers. After settling into our rooms the first afternoon, we ventured up to the high elevations of the range for an owling trip that evening. A Flammulated Owl briefly called but then went silent; we did have a nice Gray Fox on the way back.  Most of the next day was spent in the upper elevations of the Chiricahuas. In the morning, we birded the road up to Onion Saddle and down into Pinery Canyon. In quick fashion, we tallied the Mexican Chickadee (only found in this mountain range in the US) at our first stop, as well as a very responsive Northern Pygmy-Owl and a Band-tailed Pigeon.",[122211],{"type":63,"attrs":122212},{"color":65},{"type":54,"attrs":122214,"content":122215},{"textAlign":48},[122216],{"text":122217,"type":52,"marks":122218},"Despite some searching, we could not find the Spotted Owl at Pinery Campground that sometimes roosts in the canyon. We did, however, add Steller’s Jay, Pygmy Nuthatch, wonderful studies of a pair of Olive Warblers, a pair of localized Black-chinned Sparrows, and a beautiful male Lazuli Bunting to our list. Migrants were everywhere on this day with birds pouring out of the trees all morning long. I estimated an incredible 120 Western Tanagers for the day! A White-nosed Coati was spied by Michelle foraging in a Douglas Fir and allowed prolonged studies. Most amazing was the sighting of a pair of near-mythical Montezuma Quail on our way back down to lunch shortly after noon. We watched them as they froze in place for nearly ten minutes next to the road. After lunch, we headed up to the George Walker House in Paradise to watch the feeders. Juniper Titmice came in quickly, and we had more wonderful studies of Arizona Woodpecker, Scott’s and Hooded orioles, Lazuli Bunting, and Blue Grosbeak. Back down in Portal, Jasper’s feeders yielded a good variety of birds, as well as a Western Diamond-backed Rattlesnake.",[122219],{"type":63,"attrs":122220},{"color":65},{"type":54,"attrs":122222,"content":122223},{"textAlign":48},[122224],{"text":122225,"type":52,"marks":122226},"That night we went out owling once again, this time starting in the desert flats below Portal and working our way up into the canyon. A Great Horned Owl sitting on a windmill, prolonged close studies of a Western Screech-Owl, scope studies of a Mexican Whip-poor-will, and a pair of Scaled Quail topped the list. The next morning, we did some desert birding before returning to the highlands around Rustler Park and Barfoot Park. We were, frankly, running out of new birds to look for! Fantastic looks at Bendire’s Thrasher and a pair of Western Bluebirds topped the morning highlights. Migrants were again plentiful with particularly high numbers of tanagers, grosbeaks, and thrushes. Having seen virtually all the hoped-for birds in that area, we returned to Pinery Canyon for a second attempt at the Spotted Owl, but again without success. At lunchtime, we got news of a just arrived White-eared Hummingbird back in Paradise, so we headed there in short order. Luck was on our side, as we had superb studies of this beautiful Mexican rarity.",[122227],{"type":63,"attrs":122228},{"color":65},{"type":54,"attrs":122230,"content":122231},{"textAlign":48},[122232],{"text":122233,"type":52,"marks":122234},"The final morning, we started out along the Paradise Road, where we tallied several Woodhouse’s Scrub-Jays and a very close male Black-tailed Gnatcatcher. Another male Elegant Trogon gave wonderful views in South Fork, and incredibly, we had another pair of Montezuma Quail next to the road—this one giving even better studies than the last. We headed over the mountain one final time on our way back to Tucson. Passing through Pinery Canyon, we hoped that the third time was a charm for the Spotted Owl. Our tour mojo continued, as we found the roosting owl within about five minutes of our arrival and had superb scope looks at this rare species! We stopped once again at Cochise Lake in Willcox, where we added two Snowy Plovers. A pair of Chihuahuan Ravens on the edge of town gave us superb looks, including their snow-white neck feathers. For the tour, we tallied an impressive 196 species of birds. We found virtually all of the hoped-for southeastern Arizona specialties, as well as several unexpected rarities. We enjoyed wonderful studies of the iconic Elegant Trogon, saw ten species of hummingbirds (one short of a May tour record) including two Mexican vagrant species, and an impressive seven species of owls. We also had perhaps the most passerine migrants I have ever seen on this tour in 40 years. Southeastern Arizona is simply an amazing birding destination. Additionally, we had an impressive 19 species of mammals and eight species of herps.

is an exciting season for birders in Cape May. Northbound songbirds, waders, seabirds, and others move at a frenzied pace as each pushes toward its particular breeding grounds from eastern forests to coastal beaches to arctic tundra. Meanwhile, other species have just arrived at local breeding sites and are battling out territory boundaries with neighbors, while still others are already tending young in their nests. Crossing paths with all of these species is one of the greatest joys of birding Cape May and requires careful attention to a number of variables, particularly weather conditions and tides. ",[123462],{"type":63,"attrs":123463},{"color":21},{"text":2912,"type":52,"marks":123465},[123466],{"type":63,"attrs":123467},{"color":65},{"type":54,"attrs":123469,"content":123470},{"textAlign":48},[123471,123476],{"text":123472,"type":52,"marks":123473},"On this particular week, prevailing winds were from the east, so if we wanted to catch some songbird migrants, our best chance was on our first morning in the Philadelphia area. So, we began just a short ways from our hotel at John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge. This was a good move, and we found a number of migrant songbirds including what seemed to be a fallout of Gray Catbirds, plus Orchard and Baltimore orioles, Northern Waterthrush, Northern Parula, American Redstart, and Blackpoll Warbler. With the ponds drawn down, a good number of shorebirds were present including a few hundred Least Sandpipers plus excellent comparisons of Greater and Lesser yellowlegs and Spotted and Solitary sandpipers. Swallows were swarming over the ponds with both Tree and Barn swallows actively tending their nests.

This forest holds a wide variety of breeding birds, and we found Wild Turkey, White-eyed and Red-eyed vireos, Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, Summer Tanager, and a nice list of warblers including Worm-eating, Black-and-white, Hooded, Pine, and Yellow-throated.

During our first visit, on easterly winds, we spent some time in the dunes scanning offshore for a variety of waterbirds and found Surf and Black scoters, Lesser Black-backed Gull, Black Skimmer, five species of terns, Red-throated Loon, and Northern Gannet. On our next visit, with nearly calm winds, some songbird migrants had moved in, so we focused on wooded areas around Cape May Point State Park and Cape May Bird Observatory and found Great Crested Flycatcher, Swainson’s Thrush, Indigo Bunting, and a dozen warblers including Magnolia, Bay-breasted, Chestnut-sided, and Blackpoll.

We made two visits to see this amazing sight and were blown away both times. Thousands of Red Knots carpeted the beach, sometimes taking to the air in spectacular murmurations before settling back down. Among these were thousands of Semipalmated Sandpipers and Ruddy Turnstones, and hundreds of Sanderlings and Dunlins, all adding to the spectacle.

It took some hours in the comfortable blind—in reality the windows of a converted café, complete with counters, stools, and a heater—but finally, right at the predicted stroke of eleven, the western horizon still alight, a European badger, a life mammal for all of us, trotted in to guzzle its daily peanut butter; the crumbs of the feast were tidied up by a bank vole and a wood mouse. We were impressed by how different the European badger, an apparently gentler, more readily frugivorous forest-dweller, was from the American badger: longer-legged, more streamlined, and, at least from a safe position behind the glass of our blind, less intimidating than the squat, rather terrifying beast of American fields and prairies. ",[124457],{"type":63,"attrs":124458},{"color":21},{"text":2912,"type":52,"marks":124460},[124461],{"type":63,"attrs":124462},{"color":65},{"type":54,"attrs":124464,"content":124465},{"textAlign":2895},[124466,124471],{"text":124467,"type":52,"marks":124468},"While much of our time was spent at lower elevations, at the sea and along the banks of Scotland’s wild rivers, it’s not called the Highlands for nothing.

For sundown, we drove a few miles to Geiger Key and stopped at Boca Chica Beach. With a view of the ocean to one side, and the Naval Air Base’s runway to the other, we scanned the area for birds. In the golden light of the lowering sun, several restless shorebirds could be seen, blending in with the heaps of weeds along the wrack line. There were some Black-bellied and Semipalmated plovers, a couple of Willets and some Ruddy Turnstones, and plenty of peeps including Sanderlings, a few Semipalmated, and mostly Least sandpipers. A Common Ground Dove fed near us, and Yellow-crowned Night Herons and Reddish and Snowy egrets found their roosts for the night. Our eyes were kept fixed on the sky, hoping for one event in particular, the arrival of Antillean Nighthawks to the island.

Touted as the largest masonry structure in the U.S., this fort has had quite a dappled history, from war fortification to citadel for pirates, then a prison, a monument, and now part of a national park. It occupies nearly the entirety of Garden Key. Despite the tremendous importance of these islands as colonies for several species of birds and turtles, the park service continues emphasizing the perpetual mending of the dilapidated brick relic over all other efforts. And no doubt, its history is important, and the fort should be preserved. However, as a national park, the archipelago is most valuable as host to seabird species that nest nowhere else in the continental U.S. As many as 80,000 Sooty Terns and 5,000 Brown Noddies return each spring to breed and raise their nestlings among the seven islands. Additionally, Roseate and Bridled terns in much smaller numbers nest there too. And although Magnificent Frigatebirds are seen throughout the Gulf, within the U.S. they nest only in the Dry Tortugas. And who can forget the Masked Boobies that also nest in the archipelago.

We also saw a Brush Rabbit and a few California Ground Squirrels. The platform feeder with oranges and jelly was a favorite of Bullock’s and Hooded Orioles, and Western and Summer Tanagers. Hummingbird feeders attracted Anna’s, Black-chinned, and Costa’s hummingbirds.

was a pleasure to lead a very enjoyable trip through Taiwan after an extended hiatus between tours here for VENT.

After breakfast at our hotel overlooking Taipei and the Tamsui River, we headed for the Taipei Botanical Gardens. Taiwan in spring can be notorious for its unstable weather, but we enjoyed generally sunny conditions for the majority of the trip. This morning, however, was not one of those days, but we all braved the rain, eager for those first new birds of the trip. Unlike in parts of their wintering range, Malayan Night-Herons are remarkably confiding and obvious in Taiwan at this time of year. We found several here, including birds on nests, along with good looks at Swinhoe's White-eyes, Taiwan Barbet, Gray Treepie, Light-vented Bulbul, and a Black-naped Monarch actively feeding. We managed to escape the rain by heading to the coast at Xucuogang, where our target bird, Chinese Egret, was seen before getting off the bus! Here we also had our first taste of a variety of shorebirds in breeding plumage, staging and feeding up between migrating from Australia and Southeast Asia before heading on to Siberia. Before we left, a pair of handsome Taiwan Scimitar-Babblers were kind enough to pop up on a bush next to the bus. After lunch, we visited some parkland around the Shimen Reservoir, with our first bird being a beautiful roosting Collared Scops-Owl, courtesy of some good gen from one of Chuck's contacts. As we were trying to get an angle on the owl, a pair of Taiwan Blue-Magpies did their best to drag our attention away, and so we duly obliged. A striking bird, and our third endemic for the day, which was shortly followed by the fourth—a lovely Taiwan Whistling-Thrush that posed briefly.",[128183],{"type":63,"attrs":128184},{"color":21},{"text":2912,"type":52,"marks":128186},[128187],{"type":63,"attrs":128188},{"color":32765},{"type":54,"attrs":128190,"content":128191},{"textAlign":2895},[128192,128197],{"text":128193,"type":52,"marks":128194},"The next two days were spent exploring the various elevations of Dasyueshan from our base on its lower slopes. This is one of the two famous highland birding sites in Taiwan (along with Alishan), and it put on a great show for us during our time here. Our first morning was highlighted, pre-breakfast for some, by great looks at the skulking endemic Rusty Laughingthrush. Heading uphill, post-breakfast, we had more good luck, quickly getting onto the often scarce Taiwan Yellow Tit—a wonderful, bright yellow ball of feathers with a funky crest. New birds started to come thick and fast, and Chuck soon pulled another rabbit out of the hat, when he locked onto a small covey of Taiwan Partridges feeding downslope—a great find that would save us a lot of time sitting in hides later on! The rain came and went during our time on Dasyueshan, but it made for wonderful scenery as clouds wisped over the verdant forested slopes. As is often the case, breaks in the rain can be followed by birdy sessions, and that often proved true for us here. Arriving at one of the main carpark areas mid-morning, we were greeted by the sight of not one but two glamorous male Swinhoe's Pheasants feeding in the open! Our pheasant luck continued upon arriving at the road's highest point (KM52) where we were immediately ushered over by some other birders to a pair of Mikado Pheasants feeding happily at their feet! Despite their friendliness, this can be a tough species to encounter, as they only inhabit good forest above 6,500 ft. A whole host of specialties also exist at these higher altitudes on Taiwan, with most of them having being designated full endemic status in recent years. Taiwan Bush-Warblers eventually revealed themselves, as did Taiwan Shortwing after serenading us with its elfin song, whereas White-whiskered Laughingthrush and Collared Bush-Robins hopped around the edge of the carpark unconcernedly.",[128195],{"type":63,"attrs":128196},{"color":21},{"text":2912,"type":52,"marks":128198},[128199],{"type":63,"attrs":128200},{"color":32765},{"type":54,"attrs":128202,"content":128203},{"textAlign":2895},[128204,128209],{"text":128205,"type":52,"marks":128206},"From Dasyueshan, we began winding our way further south and then further inland towards Chingjing and the nearby Hehuanshan Pass. Along the way we stopped in at the scenic Baxianshan Forest area, where we scored with the localized endemic Chestnut-bellied Tit showing well. Brown Dipper and Plumbeous Redstart were added bonuses here. Further south around the town of Puli we enjoyed a fantastic lunch before making a visit to one of the local Buddhist temples. Here, the much desired local form of Maroon Oriole eventually made a spectacular appearance! Later that day, near our hotel up in the hills above Puli, some of us managed views of the often tormenting Taiwan Bamboo-Partridge, as well as Taiwan Liocichla and Brown-headed Thrush feeding before migrating on to Japan or Korea. ",[128207],{"type":63,"attrs":128208},{"color":21},{"text":2912,"type":52,"marks":128210},[128211],{"type":63,"attrs":128212},{"color":32765},{"type":54,"attrs":128214,"content":128215},{"textAlign":2895},[128216,128221],{"text":128217,"type":52,"marks":128218},"The high altitude pass of Hehuanshan beckoned the next morning with hats and gloves quickly donned upon arrival with a bitter wind blowing. Fortunately, a short walk downhill got us out of the wind, and the clear skies soon made it feel much warmer. Gorgeous Taiwan Rosefinch obliged, as did a friendly Flamecrest, Yellowish-bellied Bush-Warbler, and a pair of tiny Eurasian Wrens. Further along, a roadside stop quickly yielded the sought-after Alpine Accentor (an isolated outlier on Taiwan), and our final stop before heading back downhill provided close views of a pair of Taiwan Fulvettas and more Taiwan Rosefinches. From here, we had a pretty solid drive down to Taiwan's southernmost city, Hengchun, which would be our base for the night before taking the ferry to Lanyu Island the following morning.",[128219],{"type":63,"attrs":128220},{"color":21},{"text":2912,"type":52,"marks":128222},[128223],{"type":63,"attrs":128224},{"color":32765},{"type":54,"attrs":128226,"content":128227},{"textAlign":2895},[128228,128233],{"text":128229,"type":52,"marks":128230},"After an enjoyable crossing, featuring good numbers of Wedge-tailed and Streaked shearwaters, as well as several Bulwer's Petrels, we were soon disembarking on Lanyu Island.

Moving more towards the coast, we attempted a valiant stake-out for a no-show Chinese Crested Tern, before getting stuck into some impressive flocks of shorebirds near Budai. Highlights on the reclaimed salt flats, now being managed to improve shorebird feeding habitat, included the graceful Black-faced Spoonbill (a conservation success story), innumerable Pied Avocets and Whiskered Terns, smart Curlew Sandpipers, Siberian Sand-Plover, Sharp-tailed Sandpiper, Kentish Plover sheltering a tiny baby under its wings, a close Long-toed Stint, and several striking Spotted Redshanks in breeding plumage. ",[128255],{"type":63,"attrs":128256},{"color":21},{"text":2912,"type":52,"marks":128258},[128259],{"type":63,"attrs":128260},{"color":32765},{"type":54,"attrs":128262,"content":128263},{"textAlign":2895},[128264,128269],{"text":128265,"type":52,"marks":128266},"From the coast we headed inland for our last taste of upper elevation birding in Taiwan around Alishan.

Our full day on Alishan was a great success, with perfect weather and an almost clean sweep of some of our remaining targets. Starting lower down, we had great looks at the tiny Taiwan Cupwing, scarce Taiwan Barwing, and a songful Snowy-browed Flycatcher. Up at Tataka, Southern Nutcrackers joined us for lunch, and a final little hike added Golden Parrotbill and good looks at Taiwan Fulvetta, Taiwan Bush-Robin, and a pair of Reeves's Muntjacs. ",[128267],{"type":63,"attrs":128268},{"color":21},{"text":2912,"type":52,"marks":128270},[128271],{"type":63,"attrs":128272},{"color":32765},{"type":54,"attrs":128274,"content":128275},{"textAlign":2895},[128276,128281],{"text":128277,"type":52,"marks":128278},"Before departing the next day, another pre-breakfast walk afforded us views of the shy Dusky Fulvetta, as well as a beautiful White-bellied Green-Pigeon and the locally endangered Russet Sparrow. A lovely walk through some bamboo forest on the lower slopes of Alishan was highlighted by amazingly close views of several White-tailed Robins—typically a very unobtrusive species across the rest of its range in Asia. From Alishan, our plan was to head towards Douliou to search the nearby forests hoping for a recently-returned Fairy Pitta; however, some news on the grapevine led us to another site a short drive south. Upon arriving, a significant number of parked cars at the end of a forested road hinted at something interesting. A short walk further on and we found ourselves at an almost comical scene with tens of photographers waiting, giant lenses pointed in one direction. Not ten minutes later, a flurry of camera shutters alerted us to the presence of a stunning Fairy Pitta perched up in full view! ",[128279],{"type":63,"attrs":128280},{"color":21},{"text":2912,"type":52,"marks":128282},[128283],{"type":63,"attrs":128284},{"color":32765},{"type":54,"attrs":128286,"content":128287},{"textAlign":2895},[128288,128293],{"text":128289,"type":52,"marks":128290},"The next morning, with our target firmly in the bag, we enjoyed a leisurely session around Huben where we finally clocked onto our last possible endemic—a singing Black-necklaced Scimitar-Babbler. We also visited the infamous Fairy Pitta Cafe nearby where the lovely staff were incredibly generous and welcoming. Bidding farewell, we birded a couple more sites nearby, eventually getting acceptable views of some skulking White-browed Laughingthrushes and a pair of impossibly cute Vinous-throated Parrotbills in some riverside grasses. From here, we began the drive back to Taipei, stopping for a few more final shorebirds, before arriving back at our hotel in the mid-afternoon. We enjoyed one final meal together that evening, at a fantastic, yet very understated Japanese establishment conveniently close to our hotel.

Hopping from island to island while fine-tuning our “feelers” for migrants, we managed to find many species. The core of the birds we saw were warblers, primarily Cape May in all its permutations, from stunning adult males to drab, streaked younger birds. Just having arrived at our first location, Fort Zachary Taylor State Park, we had barely stepped out of the vans into the parking lot when the canopy overhead was buzzing with birds. American Redstart, Black-and-white, Palm, Prairie, and Blackpoll Warblers were all immediately present.

Two flew over us at close range in the Saddlebunch Keys. At that same location, we made our first of four efforts for the most challenging bird on the tour, the Mangrove Cuckoo.

That day was one of contrasts, divided into three chapters that took us to very different locations exemplifying the region’s dynamics. We started off at a beautiful red mangrove forest along the southeasternmost point of the peninsula. Mangroves are the first line of defense against erosion and storm surges, particularly during hurricanes. The second part of the day took us into one of the fastest-growing, most densely developed urban corridors in the country to search for birds in Miami.

It truly could not have been a better look at this stunning, reclusive bird—and it was a lifer for many in our group! Feeling triumphant, we headed north into neighborhoods where we found Red-whiskered Bulbuls and Spot-breasted Orioles. We then continued to the Biltmore Hotel golf course in Coral Gables, where we caught up with Egyptian Geese and several species of psittacids, including Mitred, Red-masked, Yellow-chevroned, and White-winged Parakeets. Lunch was delightful in the Cuban enclave of “Calle Ocho,” at the renowned La Carreta restaurant. To top off our individual orders, we also had an assortment of appetizers including platanitos fritos, tostones, fried yuca, and classic mamey shakes made from the delicious “marmalade tree.” We toasted with coladas, Cuban-style espresso shots.",{"type":54,"attrs":128963,"content":128964},{"textAlign":48},[128965],{"text":128966,"type":52},"Finally, the afternoon of the 21st took us westward along Tamiami Trail, on the northern boundary of Everglades National Park toward Big Cypress, surrounded by vast expanses of sawgrass prairie.

The Everglades is a place of subtleties, where habitats shift with the slightest changes in elevation—from pinelands to freshwater sloughs and flooded cypress, eventually giving way to brackish marshes and mangrove coast. Flamingo, at the end of Highway 9336, was once a remote trading post, and we drove campground roads finding a Shiny Cowbird, along with Brown-headed Cowbirds. We also enjoyed close views of Common Ground Doves, extimus Red-shouldered Hawks, and the endangered American Crocodile.

The highlight of the evening, however, came at a secluded fire road in a deeper sector of the pinelands, where we found a very territorial Chuck-will’s-widow.

There were so many highlights that it is difficult to decide where to begin. Parent Wood Storks shading their fuzzy young, which made nasal begging calls, were mesmerizing. We could have spent hours watching them and the young at various stages of growth. Young Tricolored Herons and Great Egrets were at arm’s reach from the boardwalk. Mother Mottled Ducks and Common Moorhens tended their chicks in the shallows, while Gray-headed Swamphens foraged with their enormous feet and head shields. We also found Purple Gallinules and cooperative Least Bitterns, along with countless other species. One of the most memorable moments was observing two Limpkin parents with their newly hatched chick, fuzzy and dark, struggling to keep up as they foraged along a canal. The parents erupted in excitement when the chick managed to climb the steep embankment to join them, running back to encourage it as they reunited on the berm.

This is the southernmost location on the east coast with remaining oak scrub habitat still inhabited by Florida Scrub-Jays and pine flatwoods inhabited by Bachman’s Sparrows. In the flatwoods, we heard Bachman’s Sparrows singing readily—a faint song that can resemble Eastern Towhee to the untrained ear.

High Island Migration tour was an exciting whirlwind of incredible migration and wonderful local specialties alike. Every day was a birding treasure hunt, as we explored different environments with different birding possibilities that changed day by day. We read the winds and weather patterns, planning our daily route to best coincide with the arrival of birds. What a fun and memorable adventure this was!",{"type":54,"attrs":131531,"content":131532},{"textAlign":48},[131533],{"text":131534,"type":52},"On our first morning, we had a pre-sunrise breakfast, welcomed to the van by charismatic Great-tailed Grackles in the parking lot. For as common as they are, it was fun to be in the presence of these chatty birds every day of the tour. We set our sights on birding the Pineywoods north of Houston, and the specialties delighted us. A casual walk through the towering pine trees had us viewing three fabulous Red-cockaded Woodpeckers, a big target of our morning there! Impressive views of this species were enjoyed through the scopes. It was sad to know that this wonderful species is threatened, and we felt honored to have such great views of it. Cute squeaks were heard overhead as Brown-headed Nuthatches fed along the pine branches. The Pineywoods visit was a lively success, with many other bird species enjoyed as well.",{"type":54,"attrs":131536,"content":131537},{"textAlign":48},[131538],{"text":131539,"type":52},"Later that morning, we birded some areas of the Sam Houston National Forest. Hooded Warblers sang their beautiful songs through the understory. Pine Warblers trilled far overhead. We came across two beautiful and uncommon Swainson’s Warblers along our casual forest roadside walks. It was a treat to bird through these southeastern pine forests. After a tasty lunch, we enjoyed impromptu views of a Fish Crow in a parking lot. Throughout the afternoon, highlights included scoping out six Buff-breasted Sandpipers among sod fields. We also birded along rice fields south of Winnie. We scored some amazing sightings on our first afternoon in the area, including six Hudsonian Godwits, 85 Whimbrels, and more. A very pale Krider’s Red-tailed Hawk was seen perching and flying around, as were a White-tailed Hawk, Swainson’s Hawk, and Crested Caracara. Sassy Loggerhead Shrikes were also observed, on high alert for their next fast-flying meal. The highlights kept on coming until we returned to Winnie for our first night in the area.",{"type":54,"attrs":131541,"content":131542},{"textAlign":48},[131543],{"text":131544,"type":52},"The next morning, we had our sights set on the Jocelyn Nungaray National Wildlife Refuge (formerly known as Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge), but not before birding some fields en route. It was fun to soak up the birding both on the way to the refuge and, of course, within the refuge itself. We found ourselves saying, “There are simply too many cool birding moments,” while visiting field after field on the way there. We found several areas chock-full of shorebirds, including both dowitcher species, Pectoral Sandpipers, and others (10 shorebird species altogether). Point-blank views of a chatty Sedge Wren were special! Upon arriving at the refuge, we were greeted by Orchard Orioles whistling in the parking area, a variety of swallows flying around, and the distant chatter of Boat-tailed Grackles. Our time around the wildlife drive was exciting in both rain and shine. Hopping from viewing area to viewing area, we enjoyed comparing both Black-bellied and Fulvous whistling-ducks, each beautiful in its own way. American Alligators of various ages rested along the nearby mudflats. Common Gallinules strutted along the water’s surface while their less common cousins, the Purple Gallinules, fed more secretly while still offering views. Among a wild and numerous kaleidoscope of shorebirds, we found two uncommon White-rumped Sandpipers, each in full breeding plumage. Gull-billed Terns fed over the saltmarsh environments, and a Black Tern was picked out among the many Forster’s Terns. Dozens of White-faced Ibis were seen feeding among the saltgrass, and later on we found two less common Glossy Ibis among the mudflats. A sneaky and beautiful Least Bittern came into view. There were just so many birds to enjoy! Adorable baby Barn Owls were seen at midday, swaying together and analyzing us from the little nook and cranny where they were being raised, and all of this was enjoyed before a fun picnic in the field.",{"type":54,"attrs":131546,"content":131547},{"textAlign":48},[131548],{"text":131549,"type":52},"On our first afternoon at High Island, we hit a birding jackpot of 18 warbler species and more! Many of the warblers were seen among food-rich mulberry trees and also at the nearby Boy Scout Woods ponds and drip areas. Among the many exciting warbler highlights was a female Cape May Warbler. This species is quite rare in Texas, often migrating slightly east of East Texas, and was a considerable rarity for the tour. An Indigo Bunting fed near three Painted Buntings, while both Summer and Scarlet tanagers gorged themselves on berries. A late-lingering White-throated Sparrow was seen in a tree, and three thrush species were noted: Gray-cheeked, Swainson’s, and Wood Thrush. Tasty and festive bayou dinner fixings at Tia Juanita’s complemented a great day of birding.",{"type":54,"attrs":131551,"content":131552},{"textAlign":48},[131553],{"text":131554,"type":52},"The next day, we had our sights set on the beach birding scene. Rollover Pass was a treat to the senses, as the highlights stacked up one after another. A super-close Clapper Rail strutted right in front of us among the saltgrass. We were very surprised to see a visibly migrating Northern Cardinal fly past us along the beach, unexpected in the vast dune environment. A temporarily exposed tidal island offered scope views of a large gathering of Brown Pelicans along with one American White Pelican. Nonstop opportunities to study a kaleidoscope of terns, gulls, and wading birds ensued. Black Skimmers rested their heavy beaks on the sand in their own comical way. Before we left, a Marbled Godwit was seen in the saltgrass while Brian picked out a distant Black Scoter, a rarity for the area. A little later on, we explored the Bolivar Flats area, walking down the beach and enjoying wonderful views of hundreds of American Avocets, Willets, Ruddy Turnstones, and wave-chasing Sanderlings, to name just a few species. A few Roseate Spoonbills flew by, and both white and dark morph Reddish Egrets were seen well. During our walk, we saw six Piping Plovers and three Wilson’s Plovers! We enjoyed a “picnic-with-the-plovers” afterward in a designated picnic area, where we saw both American and Black-bellied plovers while eating. Before our day ended, we had a fabulous time visiting the Smith Oaks sanctuary, taking time to enjoy the Roseate Spoonbills, herons, egrets, and cormorants nesting there. The bold colors of the Roseate Spoonbills were especially eye-catching. We also enjoyed views of large Swamp Rabbits, as well as Red-eared Sliders and American Alligators.",{"type":54,"attrs":131556,"content":131557},{"textAlign":48},[131558],{"text":131559,"type":52},"The next morning, we made our way toward Sabine Woods. Before birding the legendary woods, we enjoyed the wild sense of place while birding among vast saltmarsh habitat, with no fewer than nine Seaside Sparrows singing and flying around their unique home sweet home. Throughout the morning, we saw nine of these incredible habitat specialists, giving their eerie, sharp, shrilled songs. Boat-tailed Grackles squawked in the background while Marsh Wrens cackled among seven species of wading birds. There was so much going on, and our day was just beginning. A visit to Sabine Woods brought views of Prothonotary Warbler, Red-bellied Woodpecker, a flyby Peregrine Falcon, and more. A midday visit to Sea Rim State Park was thrilling, as we watched hundreds of American Avocets feeding together, reflecting on what Victor Emanuel called the “Avocet Dance.” We took moments to reflect and appreciate all that was happening right in front of us. It was beautiful, soothing, and mesmerizing. Nesting Wilson’s Plovers were seen, and we were treated to some surreal comparison moments of Greater and Lesser yellowlegs feeding together side by side for minutes on end (a nearby comparison that doesn’t happen very often). Midday rain could not have arrived at a more opportune time, nearing the end of our lunch picnic, with the “Yucatan Express” of migration arriving more by the minute. On this tour, midday or early afternoon rain can really bring birds into the area. On our way back to Sabine Woods, we found a flock of thirty Bobolinks, usually a very uncommon species for the timing of this tour. Upon arrival at Sabine Woods, we found ourselves looking at ten different species of warblers, both Gray-cheeked and Swainson’s thrushes, no fewer than ten Rose-breasted Grosbeaks, and more. It was a fun afternoon, and it was hard to pull ourselves away for the fantastic dinner that followed.",{"type":54,"attrs":131561,"content":131562},{"textAlign":48},[131563],{"text":131564,"type":52},"The next day, we birded locally throughout the High Island area again, and what a fun day it was. The birds present had changed over the previous few days. The rookery at Smith Oaks was as fabulous as ever, as one visit during a tour is never enough. A recent wave of cuckoos had arrived, and we saw four Yellow-billed Cuckoos and one Black-billed Cuckoo throughout the day. Wood Thrushes sang and hopped along the forest floor. We were very surprised to hear a Pileated Woodpecker calling from Smith Oaks (this is a super-rare species for the immediate High Island area). A flashy Blackburnian Warbler sang throughout the branches while both a Painted Bunting and several Indigo Buntings worked their way through the more open areas along the edges of the woods. There were too many birds to cherish and enjoy. We also had some great moments watching an Ovenbird bathe in one of the nearby drips.",{"type":54,"attrs":131566,"content":131567},{"textAlign":48},[131568],{"text":131569,"type":52},"Our last day of the tour always came too soon. We made our way into the Pineywoods to mix up the birds we had been seeing throughout the trip, and what a special day it was! We scored fantastic views of Red-headed Woodpecker and the dapper Prairie Warbler. During our birding trek back to Houston, we enjoyed one more picnic in the field, this time complemented by truly memorable experiences with kettles of Mississippi Kites, two Swallow-tailed Kites, and up-close views of an adorable Northern Mockingbird fledgling bouncing around the nearby grass. Our last birding stop had us along a waterway, where we scored views of a Limpkin! It was fun to watch this cool bird search the waters for Channeled Apple Snails. This tropical species is not typically on the radar for this tour. What a finale for an exciting tour all around. Throughout our trip, we enjoyed 200 species of birds, in addition to an exciting array of beautiful reptiles and amphibians, Hermit Crabs along a jetty, several mammals, butterflies, and more. What a thrill.

The latter half of April is a time when Black-capped Vireos and Golden-cheeked Warblers are generally conspicuous in the oak-juniper woodlands of central Texas, and Colima Warblers are arriving in the Chisos Mountains of Big Bend NP.

Golden-cheeked Warbler is an endangered species that breeds nowhere else on earth but in the ashe-juniper and oak woodlands of the Texas Hill Country. On our first two stops, we had excellent views of male Golden-cheeked Warblers singing from a variety of open perches. What a great start! At our third stop, attention quickly shifted from Golden-cheeked Warblers to a singing Black-capped Vireo nearby. The vireo can be a challenging bird to see well, and this bird lived up to its skulking nature. By late morning, however, we had seen several more Black-capped Vireos at Brushy Creek Ranch, with everyone getting good looks. Flocks of sparrows, mostly Chipping, Lark, and Vesper, greeted us at every turn, and they were abundant along the road through Brushy Creek Ranch. That afternoon we went down along the Frio River to look for Tropical Parula, another very localized Hill Country breeder that favors stands of mature Montezuma Bald Cypress. One cooperative male seemed bent on being the most photographed bird of the tour!

Our morning bird walk at San Felipe Creek produced a nice mix of warblers, orioles, and other migrants, plus our only Couch’s Kingbirds of the trip. Just as we were heading back to the van, our group was stunned by a spectacular encounter with a Ringed Kingfisher along San Felipe Creek. It flew in without making a sound and left the same way but in between perched for a couple of minutes in perfect lighting at close range. What a sight! From there we made our way down towards the Rio Grande with stops at a large wetland pond that bolstered our list of waterbirds and then on to Vega Verde Road, where we had our first and only Varied Bunting and great looks at our second male Hooded Oriole.

As we began our hike, a few of us got quick views of an unexpected Hermit Warbler, a bird rarely seen on this tour. Bird highlights included great studies of Dusky Flycatcher, close encounters with ever-curious and beautiful Mexican Jays, and nice scope views of a Crissal Thrasher, always a tough bird to find on this tour. After a short afternoon bird walk at Cottonwood Campground, we continued on to the scenic Santa Elena Canyon Overlook, where we had great looks at our only Zone-tailed Hawk of the trip just before reaching the overlook. Then, as we gazed awestruck at the massive 3,000’ tall cliff faces that bracket the canyon, a Western Screech-Owl began calling down the slope.

Hiking the Pinnacles Trail to Boot Springs to see the Colima Warbler, unquestionably the most sought-after bird of the tour, involves a ten-mile round trip up towards Emory Peak at an elevation of about 7,500’. Our group was up for the challenge. Benefitting from cooler than normal temperatures, we saw several birds along the way, including Hammond’s Flycatcher, Hutton’s Vireo, Townsend’s Solitaire, Dark-eyed Junco, and Black-headed Grosbeak. Although we heard several Colima Warblers singing in the distance around Boot Springs, we had no luck in finding any, so we broke for lunch. A half-grown bear cub foraging on the far side of a ravine entertained us during our picnic. As we started on our way back, we heard a Colima Warbler singing close to the trail. A small bird appeared near the top of a nearby oak—a Colima Warbler at last! We all got good looks as the bird flew across the trail and worked low in the trees before leaving the area. What an amazing bird! Having our entire group share in this successful hike to Boot Springs will long be remembered by all of us!

We heard one of the local-nesting Common Black Hawks, but the birds remained hidden. The lawn there was carpeted with sparrows, and the brush line on the opposite side yielded our second Crissal Thrasher and our first Green-tailed Towhees. Our group got excellent studies of a pair of nesting Gray Hawks soaring low above the cottonwoods. After a delicious lunch back at the Chisos Lodge, we birded the Chisos campground where we got scope views of Acorn Woodpecker, Cactus Wren, and Scott’s Oriole before our second attempt to see the often elusive Black-chinned Sparrow. We were successful this time with everyone getting great looks at both Black-chinned and Black-throated sparrows. What a treat! We then enjoyed a wonderful visit and hike into Blue Creek Canyon, where our group was immediately enamored with several colorful and intricately-patterned Greater Earless Lizards. Although we were unable to find a Gray Vireo in the dry creek wash, we found several nice warblers, including Virginia’s (3), Yellow, Chestnut-sided, Yellow-rumped, and Wilson’s. The male Chestnut-sided Warbler was the most unexpected bird of the trip, with just nine prior eBird records of this species for Brewster County.

Following an early dinner, we drove out to McDonald Observatory in hopes of finding the beautiful and enigmatic Montezuma Quail. Although the quail were absent, we added Violet-green Swallow, White-breasted Nuthatch (Rocky Mountain race), and Townsend’s and Hermit warblers. The following morning we birded the Davis Mountains Preserve, a magnificent 33,000-acre Nature Conservancy property 25 miles northwest of Fort Davis. On the drive to the preserve from Fort Davis, we had close up views of a small herd of free-ranging elk, the result of a re-introduction program from the 1920s. As we checked in at the McIvor Visitor Center, we were surprised to find a male Rose-breasted Grosbeak, rare this far west in Texas, and also had great looks at Plumbeous Vireo. Further down the Madera Canyon Trail, we had wonderful scope views of Hepatic Tanager and Black-headed Grosbeak, and heard multiple singing Grace’s Warblers, but they never appeared. On the drive back to the entrance gate Barb spotted an Olive-sided Flycatcher perched low right next to the road.

Hill Country Extension began with an afternoon drive from Laredo to Concan. En route, we tallied several interesting species including 5 Harris’s Hawks, an impressive 18 Crested Caracaras, abundant Scissor-tailed Flycatchers (56 individuals for the day!), Chihuahuan Ravens, Cave Swallows, and a late American Pipit among others. Perhaps most impressive, however, was a field filled with 24 Swainson’s Hawks (including two dark morphs) following a plowing tractor. After arriving at Neal’s Lodge and checking into our rooms, we gathered for a checklist session behind my cabin.  A wonderful Zone-tailed Hawk soared right over us just as we finished our checklist! After an early dinner, we encountered a mob of birds right in the café parking lot. Eastern Phoebe, Brown-crested Flycatcher, Hutton’s and Yellow-throated vireos, Eastern Bluebird, Northern Parula, and Yellow-throated Warbler topped the list. With a bit of daylight left, we decided to check out a nearby spot where I’d had success in prior years with the often-elusive Black-capped Vireo. Within minutes of our arrival, we had completely unobstructed views of a male vireo singing in a bare juniper tree.

We made several stops along the way. At the first stop, we netted a pair of stunning Golden-cheeked Warblers, at one point no more than fifteen feet away! Yellow-throated and Red-eyed vireos, Black-crested Titmouse,  Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, Hermit Thrush, and Black-and-white, Nashville, and Orange-crowned warblers were also tallied. Our second stop produced three more Golden-cheeked Warblers, in addition to Ash-throated Flycatcher and Summer Tanager. The third stop yielded the likes of Carolina Chickadee, Rufous-crowned Sparrow, and another close pair of Golden-cheeked Warblers. The remainder of the morning, spent on a private ranch, was equally productive, with highlights including stunning Vermilion Flycatchers, five Black-capped Vireos (all seen), Cedar Waxwings, Bewick’s Wren, Yellow-breasted Chat, Field and Lincoln’s  sparrows, and several more Golden-cheekeds (for the day, we would tally a staggering 21 individuals).",[133574],{"type":63,"attrs":133575},{"color":21},{"text":2912,"type":52,"marks":133577},[133578],{"type":63,"attrs":133579},{"color":65},{"type":54,"attrs":133581,"content":133582},{"textAlign":48},[133583,133588],{"text":133584,"type":52,"marks":133585},"We arrived back at Neal’s in the midafternoon and had enough time for a nice midafternoon break. Following an early dinner, we headed out to the famous Frio Bat Cave—a birthing cave for millions of Mexican Free-tailed Bats! We arrived at the cave around 6:45 PM and had time for a little bit of birding before the bats emerged. A large group of Cave Swallows (nesting in the cave entrance), a pair of Canyon Towhees, and a singing Canyon Wren from no more than ten feet away were the highlights. Around 7:30, the bats started coming out of the cave entrance. It started out as a small trickle and then quickly became a steady stream. Numbers of raptors were there to greet the emerging bats with two Harris’s Hawks, a Swainson’s Hawk, a Red-tailed Hawk, and a Merlin diving into the river of bats in hopes of catching dinner. The stream of bats thickened until it seemed the entire sky was filled with bats. Seeing ten million or more bats emerging from their roost is truly one of the great natural history spectacles of the world and a sight not soon forgotten! We topped off the evening with great looks at Common Poorwill from about fifteen feet away.

Along the way, we found Wild Turkey, Golden-fronted Woodpecker, Bell’s Vireo, Cactus Wren, and Cassin’s, Lark, Black-throated, Vesper, and Clay-colored sparrows among a host of other species. At Cook’s Slough, we added Wood Duck, Neotropic Cormorant, Couch’s Kingbird, Great Kiskadee, Audubon’s Oriole, and Olive Sparrow. The nearby Uvalde Fish Hatchery was very productive with many Black-bellied Whistling-Ducks, Common Ground Dove, an unexpected pair of Least Grebes, Yellow-crowned Night-Heron, a late Wilson’s Snipe, Solitary Sandpiper, Black Phoebe, more raucous Great Kiskadees, and a Pyrrhuloxia. We finished off the day at Park Chalk Bluff. There we had an impressive mixed flock of birds in the large oak grove that contained a pair of Tropical Parulas, as well as Blue-headed Vireo, Long-billed Thrasher, Wilson’s Warbler, an out-of-place Golden-cheeked Warbler, another pair of Audubon’s Orioles, four Hooded Orioles, and an Orchard Oriole.

Snow-covered hillsides led us to the peak at just short of 12,000 feet in elevation. Horned Larks briefly greeted us near the parking lot. After a few minutes of looking around and listening, we set our sights on a dapper White-tailed Ptarmigan, often considered one of the trickiest target birds to come across on the tour, as they make their way among the vast snowy hilltops and krummholz habitat. We were delighted to see this bird and have moments to view it through the scope. We made our way to the Wildernest area afterward, enjoying views of all three species of rosy-finches (Gray-crowned, Black, and Brown-capped), including the locally uncommon Hepburn’s race of Gray-crowned Rosy-Finch. Four beautiful varieties of Dark-eyed Juncos were appreciated, as were Mountain Chickadees, Pygmy Nuthatches, both Evening and Pine grosbeaks, and others. On the way to Gunnison, we locked our sights on two stunning Lewis’s Woodpeckers through falling graupel (a really cool form of precipitation—round, lightweight opaque ice pellets). It was a lifer form of precipitation for many of us while we talked about the weather at hand! A Steller’s Jay briefly flew by before we made our way through the mountains to Gunnison. We enjoyed beautiful, lightly falling snow en route among the higher elevations.",{"type":54,"attrs":136007,"content":136008},{"textAlign":48},[136009],{"text":136010,"type":52},"Early the next morning, we headed out to view the Gunnison Sage-Grouse lek. Throughout the early morning hours, we locked our scopes on eleven distant Gunnison Sage-Grouse displaying along the foothills. Later in the day, we explored various landscapes as we made our way to Montrose. It was awesome to see a brief interaction between a Prairie Falcon and a Golden Eagle high in the air. We visited a town of Gunnison Prairie Dogs (the first of three prairie dog species we saw throughout the tour). Prairie dogs are such fun to watch, and it was exciting to search for all three species. Later in the day, we explored several waterways, which brought forth views of both Common and Barrow’s goldeneyes, a Western Grebe, and much more! Throughout the afternoon, as well as the following morning, we explored Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. An early morning Northern Pygmy-Owl was heard calling across the canyon, and we were treated to great views of Clark’s Nutcrackers, Woodhouse’s Scrub-Jays, Fox Sparrows, Spotted Towhees, and more. An adorable Mountain Cottontail was also viewed well!",{"type":54,"attrs":136012,"content":136013},{"textAlign":48},[136014],{"text":136015,"type":52},"We birded at a few locations on the way to Grand Junction. One of the unique highlights of the day was seeing an Osprey break branches from a large dead tree and carry them back to its nest. We enjoyed views of fourteen waterfowl species all in one reservoir, including six Cinnamon Teal and a vast raft of Ring-necked Ducks. We ended the day birding with my friend Carol at her property. We had great sightings of Gambel’s Quail running around, as well as other wonderful birds like Lesser Goldfinches, Western Bluebirds, and chatty Bushtits. It was fun to visit and reconnect with her!",{"type":54,"attrs":136017,"content":136018},{"textAlign":48},[136019],{"text":136020,"type":52},"A meandering visit through Colorado National Monument the next morning was awesome. We enjoyed birds like the incredibly agile White-throated Swifts zipping around the canyons, and with some patience and careful listening, we enjoyed fantastic views of Pinyon Jays at an array of locations, along with Juniper Titmice. Even before we entered, a super range-restricted Hopi Chipmunk was seen near the entrance sign! A lone Peregrine Falcon was seen perched alongside a cliff further along the drive, keeping watch for prey. Periodic Bewick’s Wrens chattered at an array of vistas where we stopped to appreciate the scenery. The scenery alone that morning was breathtaking and spectacular, as we savored the views of immense and unearthly land formations around and below us. Later in the day, we explored more vast canyons, bringing views of a highly sought-after Chukar, with a nearby Rock Wren too! White-tailed Prairie Dogs were seen well, along with Mountain Bluebirds, Say’s Phoebes, and multiple Golden Eagles as we made our way to Craig.",{"type":54,"attrs":136022,"content":136023},{"textAlign":48},[136024],{"text":136025,"type":52},"The next morning, we headed out early to enjoy the Sharp-tailed Grouse lek. Their wild and charismatic displays were incredible to see and hear from so close! The weather conditions were wonderful too, and it was a powerful experience to witness the wing-shaking and foot-pattering displays. Out of “nowhere,” a Golden Eagle flew in fast, low, and close to the horizon, clipping one in midair as the other Sharp-tailed Grouse scattered away. The many Sharp-tailed Grouse came back shortly after the air went silent, soon proudly resuming their lekking displays, as they have done for generations. Later in the day, we found a family of Yellow-bellied Marmots along a river, in addition to an American Dipper! En route to Walden, we enjoyed views of American White Pelicans, Sandhill Cranes, Northern Pintails, Redheads, and more.",{"type":54,"attrs":136027,"content":136028},{"textAlign":48},[136029],{"text":136030,"type":52},"Greater Sage-Grouse stole the show the next morning among beautiful skies and a sage-blanketed landscape. We counted fifty-one of this impressive and regal species throughout the morning. As the first hints of light appeared, more and more sage-grouse arrived at the main lekking site. The views were fantastic. As we were about to leave, several more Greater Sage-Grouse began lekking very close to the road, even closer than the already nearby show. The lighting couldn’t have been more cooperative for great views at close proximity, too. What a show! Horned Larks and a Western Meadowlark added wonderful ambience to the morning.",{"type":54,"attrs":136032,"content":136033},{"textAlign":48},[136034],{"text":136035,"type":52},"The next morning, we watched thirty-five incredible Lesser Prairie-Chickens come into view around twilight, just after a low-light American Barn Owl flew through. Their high-energy, wind-up-toy-like behavior was thrilling to watch! Their intermittent pops and quick-running antics brought big smiles to our faces, comical to us at times, though all done with intentionality for their survival and attraction to each other. The show put on by these displaying chickens was fantastic, and it went on for a long time. In the latter portion of the morning, a stunning Ferruginous Hawk flew in to patrol the vicinity of the lek. The Lesser Prairie-Chickens left with haste, and thankfully this happened after a lengthy viewing experience. Shortly after we left the site, we found a soon-to-depart Rough-legged Hawk and another stunning Ferruginous Hawk. The waterfowl diversity throughout the rest of the day’s commute was great, including a large flock of Snow Geese migrating through, a highlight for many. Great-tailed Grackles were seen in several roadside areas. We ended our day in Wray, looking at Burrowing Owls, a Great Horned Owl, and a brief glimpse of Greater Prairie-Chickens around the lek.",{"type":54,"attrs":136037,"content":136038},{"textAlign":48},[136039],{"text":136040,"type":52},"An early morning revisit to the Greater Prairie-Chicken lek took place the next day. We tallied twenty-one of this beautiful species, each male stomping, booming, and jumping with his own intensity. Females gently waltzed through, taking note of the best-displaying males in all their glory. The entire show was fabulous. The chickens didn’t appreciate the Northern Harrier that flew past later on, however. It was fun to see not one, not two, but six Burrowing Owls among the prairie-chicken lek site! We found a Loggerhead Shrike on the drive out. Later on, we explored an array of natural areas throughout the day’s commute. From Ruddy Ducks to several Cooper’s Hawks, Say’s Phoebe, an early Cliff Swallow, and achieving the scaup sweep (Greater and Lesser), it was a fun day of traveling through the open country. We ended our day birding around a park behind our hotel.",{"type":54,"attrs":136042,"content":136043},{"textAlign":48},[136044],{"text":136045,"type":52},"For as much of a thrilling whirlwind as this legendary tour is, with all the daily drives, the last day always arrives far too soon. And despite time flying by, we still had more landscapes to explore and more new birds to see on our last day! While commuting to our first planned birding stop of the morning, we made an impromptu stop at a Black-tailed Prairie Dog town, enjoying their social antics and beauty. By stumbling upon this prairie dog town, we achieved the prairie dog species sweep for the tour! Just a little further into the morning, we started scanning vast tilled fields, where we found not one but two highly sought-after Mountain Plovers! A visit to Pawnee National Grassland was a must. With our hawk-watching senses in high gear, we picked out a Swainson’s Hawk flying overhead. While focusing our efforts on the right varieties of grasslands, we scored great views of both Thick-billed Longspurs and Chestnut-collared Longspurs. Both of their plumages were spectacular. A simple pile of rocks was home to a chatty Rock Wren as we made our way throughout the vast birding drive. A Sage Thrasher made an appearance too. It was a treat to see a coiled and rattling Prairie Rattlesnake on the edge of the dirt road, viewed while giving this beauty its respectful space. Our last formal birding area of the trip was at Lower Latham Reservoir, where we found a large gathering of Western Grebes, briefly picked out a distant speck of a Clark’s Grebe, and got to see Black-necked Stilts and American Avocets being as awesome as ever. Rafts of Northern Shovelers covered the water. A brief visit to Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge was a fun tour wrap-up.",{"type":54,"attrs":136047,"content":136048},{"textAlign":48},[136049],{"text":136050,"type":52},"As mentioned before, the sights and sounds of this tour were truly wondrous every day, and our daily treks were filled with excitement.

We were dutifully greeted by our two excellent guides, Sangay and Chimi, who alongside our capable driver and camp crew, would accompany us throughout our exploration of Bhutan.

Both of these areas have been very infrequently birded, and our group was more than likely the first international contingent to visit this isolated region of western Bhutan. Our time in this region was well justified, with a fantastic two days of birding and two nights of camping in the tranquil locality of Gakiling. The forests along the road west of Tergola were stunning and afforded some wonderful birding, while down along the river in the more sub-tropical forests of Gakiling we enjoyed a totally different set of species, including multiple sightings of stunning Rufous-necked Hornbills. After just scratching the surface of this exciting region of Bhutan, it was, sadly, soon time to move on, and after a fair drive through dry, alpine farming country, we eventually reached civilization in the capital, Thimphu. ",[136798],{"type":63,"attrs":136799},{"color":21},{"text":2912,"type":52,"marks":136801},[136802],{"type":63,"attrs":136803},{"color":32765},{"type":54,"attrs":136805,"content":136806},{"textAlign":2895},[136807,136812],{"text":136808,"type":52,"marks":136809},"Our full day around Thimphu began with an excellent morning exploring the lower slopes of the Cheri Valley in the Jigme Dorgi NP.

The afternoon was spent first at the Royal Takin Sanctuary, allowing for close-up views of these impressive bovids—a species that is very difficult to see in the wilds of Bhutan.

The rest of the day was spent following the Puna Tsang Chu south through a dramatic valley. Heavy showers made life difficult, but we persisted, checking certain stretches of the river for White-bellied Heron—our primary target here. A couple of sightings of beautiful Great Hornbills perched beside the road certainly helped keep our spirits up! As we moved further south, things were starting to look grim on the heron front.

From the pass we wound downhill towards the lowlands along the Indian border. The vegetation and temperature certainly began to change, but it was a welcome shift, as were the few stretches of straight road!

White-hooded Babbler, several large flocks of cute Pale-billed and White-breasted parrotbills, a raucous Chestnut-winged Cuckoo, and the wonderful White-browed Scimitar-Babbler, among many others. In the afternoon, a pleasant stroll along the road south of town began with a trio of gorgeous Slaty-backed Forktails, a very busy mixed flock, and ended with a wonderful encounter watching a large troupe of Gee's Golden Lutung—a large species of monkey with impressively long tails and beautiful golden pelts. ",[136870],{"type":63,"attrs":136871},{"color":21},{"text":2912,"type":52,"marks":136873},[136874],{"type":63,"attrs":136875},{"color":32765},{"type":54,"attrs":136877,"content":136878},{"textAlign":2895},[136879,136884],{"text":136880,"type":52,"marks":136881},"Leaving Tingtibi behind, we headed towards Trongsa, but not before a morning along the old Zhemgang Road, where we had one particular target squarely in mind. After another wonderful field breakfast, and amazingly protracted views of a Goral along the roadside, we began birding uphill towards a low pass. A large flock of Spot-winged Grosbeaks drying off in the trees after a morning bath was very welcome, but we were soon back on track and heading further uphill. At one particular point along the road, we searched through a mixed flock, and then there it was! A brief sighting, then a second, they seemed to be investigating a ball of dried vegetation up the slope. A tense wait for them to reappear—then there they were—a pair of Beautiful Nuthatches!

However, we still had one more mountain pass on the agenda, and so we made our way first towards Pelela and the nearby Phobjika Valley. Along the way, some roadside birding yielded several scarcer species, most notably a pair of striking Golden-breasted Fulvettas, a flock of Tibetan Serins, and a confiding Russet Bush-Warbler. Somewhere along the way, our local guide Chimi casually mentioned to me that there may be five Black-necked Cranes still wintering in the Phobjika Valley. Somewhat stunned, as the cranes have usually left for their summer grounds by late March, I made the call to head straight for the valley in the hope that the report was genuine. As it turned out, it was, and we were soon watching a family party of these majestic and range-restricted alpine cranes grazing at close range! It was a hugely unexpected highlight, but it was not to be the most remarkable thing we would witness that day. After a quick check-in to our lovely timber lodgings (complete with fireplaces) we were back on the bus and heading up to Pelela. I often find dreary afternoons to be good pheasant weather, and today was no exception. We started first with a regal male Himalayan Monal perched in full view, before Gideon spotted our first female Satyr Tragopan! However, it only got better from there, as a male was soon spotted ahead of us, giving wonderful views crossing the road.

snowy mountain vistas, stony deserts, gorges, wadis, Atlantic estuaries, and a sandstorm in the Sahara gave us the full North African experience in Morocco. In Marrakech we experienced the alleyways of the souks and the pulse of life therein. The recent and ongoing rains allowed us to see the desert “green” and even a few oases filled with water with attendant birdlife that had been absent for seven dry years. Along the Atlantic coast the Souss and Massa Rivers held migrant shorebirds and waterbirds and the marquee bird for the region, Northern Bald Ibis. We drove more than 1,000 miles through spectacular terrain that hid birds and other wildlife until we scoured the landscape, revealing treasures like four species of sandgrouse, Lanner and (Barbary) Peregrine Falcons, owls, and more larks and wheatears than you could imagine.",{"type":54,"attrs":138408,"content":138409},{"textAlign":48},[138410],{"text":138411,"type":52},"We started in Marrakech and wound around town for a little while, scanning the parks and greenways for our first North African endemic, the Maghreb Magpie, which Ossama spotted. That bird freed us up to head down to the coast at Agadir, where we would spend the next three days discovering new birds and wonderful food at the Riad Villa Blanche. On our first evening we birded the Souss River. We discovered Greater Flamingos, Slender-billed and Mediterranean Gulls, shorebirds, and more magpies. We quickly learned to look forward to the evening meals, which were equally gorgeous and delicious. South of Agadir we birded the Massa River as we worked our way to the Souss-Massa National Park. Moussier’s Redstart, a handsome bird, slowed us down on our way to the river. Wandering along the river we searched for Black-crowned Tchagra but never found one here. But we did enjoy a Zitting Cisticola gathering nesting material. Plain Martins were cruising above the river, giving photographers fits, and a singing Iberian race of the Yellow Wagtail was more confiding.",{"type":54,"attrs":138413,"content":138414},{"textAlign":48},[138415],{"text":138416,"type":52},"We found Sardinian and Western Subalpine Warblers in the tamarisks on our walk and were serenaded by the bubbly calls of Common Bulbuls—but no Tchagra. We moved out to the coast at the little village of Sidi Wassay, where we found our first Northern Bald Ibis on sandy dunes above the surf. Loafing alongside were our first silvery Audouin’s Gulls. A barbed wire fence along the way saw the demise of a lizard at the bill of a Great Gray Shrike. We also logged the common Yellow-legged and Lesser Black-backed Gulls. After a wonderful tagine lunch in a local restaurant we continued birding in Souss-Massa National Park, where we finally connected with a few Black-crowned Tchagras and a very lost pair of Blue-winged Teal. Overhead, an Osprey labored with a backward-facing fish and a harassing Eurasian Kestrel. After a productive afternoon we headed back to Agadir and another excellent meal. After hearing Eurasian Thick-knees calling for a couple of nights, we stopped to scan a vacant field behind the hotel in the morning; in short order Santi had one spotted, then another, and another. Our final tally was at least thirteen. As we worked our way north along the Atlantic coast, we found a few new birds, some wonderful cliffside scenery, and a rainbow. Whimbrel on the beach and some Northern Gannets offshore were among the birds we tallied. A walk through the dunes to get closer to a Bald Ibis colony produced our best sighting for the entire trip: a singing Western Black-eared Wheatear. We also had great studies of the Bald Ibis, especially as they flew right over our heads. We even witnessed them flying to their seaside cliff nesting sites with sticks. In the evening, we returned to the Souss River to enjoy the evening light after a brief rain shower. Eurasian Spoonbills and Greater Flamingos were numerous along the river, while Black-winged Stilts and Common Greenshanks made a racket as they flew around.",{"type":54,"attrs":138418,"content":138419},{"textAlign":48},[138420],{"text":138421,"type":52},"A long journey day through the deserts on the way to Ouarzazate allowed for a few quick birding stops. A great sighting was a small flock of Black-bellied Sandgrouse in some arid fields. We noted our first Black Wheatears in the mountains and White-crowned Wheatears in the desert. A fortuitous find in a rocky canyon along a curvy road was Barbary Partridge; we also notched our first Desert Lark in the scenic canyon where oleander is native. On the outskirts of Ouarzazate we birded some scrubby areas and found our first and best sighting of the beautiful Blue-cheeked Bee-eater perched in tamarisk with several migrant warblers hopping around in the trees below.",{"type":54,"attrs":138423,"content":138424},{"textAlign":48},[138425],{"text":138426,"type":52},"Common Chiffchaff, Willow Warbler, and Western Bonelli’s Warblers were all on a break from their northward migrations to Europe for the summer. We also noted hundreds of White Storks soaring in kettles, winging their way north, too. Nearby at the Mansour Reservoir we found an acacia full of fledgling Great Gray Shrikes with their parents making food deliveries as we watched. Perhaps the most exciting sighting was the Moroccan Spiny-tailed Lizard Ossama spotted on the roadside while we were distracted by birds! This gorgeous large lizard was peachy-orange with a fat spiky tail. In the evening, we drove out into the rocky desert near Boumalne Dades; a special outing would soon unfold for us. Hasam, a local guide, first walked us to a large flat rock that he delicately lifted, revealing the best reptile of the trip, a Saharan Horned Viper! Then he led us into the wadi with 100-foot-tall cliffs hemming us in. In a little notch, a somnolent Pharaoh Eagle-Owl watched over her wide-eyed chicks tucked into an alcove in the red sandstone cliffs—another trip highlight.",{"type":54,"attrs":138428,"content":138429},{"textAlign":48},[138430],{"text":138431,"type":52},"Trumpeter Finches and a male (Maghreb) Mourning Wheatear topped the evening as we meandered back to the van. A cooperative Desert Wheatear and our only Red-rumped Wheatear only added to the magic of a six-wheatear evening. Our drive to the hotel was interrupted by a couple of Short-toed Snake-Eagles and an (Atlas) Long-legged Buzzard, adding to the greatness.",{"type":54,"attrs":138433,"content":138434},{"textAlign":48},[138435],{"text":138436,"type":52},"Another magical day started early when we found Thick-billed Larks. After watching their comings and goings for half an hour, we realized they were tending a nest in the desert—saving us a visit to the dump, a reliable spot for the lark. Our next birding destination was the famous Tagdilt Track for larks and the elusive Cream-colored Courser. A great deal of scanning revealed our first Temminck’s Larks, some Desert Wheatears, Greater Short-toed Larks, Great Gray Shrikes, and our first Greater Hoopoe-Larks. Further searches revealed some distant Black-bellied Sandgrouse in the heat haze. Finally, among goats and shimmer, Carl pried a Cream-colored Courser from the desert. We pursued them with our scopes and cameras, but the heat haze prevented us from getting good photos; however, the scope views were good enough to see the smooth plumage and soft blue-gray crown. After lunch and a little break we ventured into Dades Gorge, past the monkeys’ fingers. Red earth and the kasbahs along the river tell of generations of people who have relied on the water wealth of the Dades River. Hairpin after hairpin wound us to the top of the gorge and a good spot to search for Tristram’s Warbler. Before we had even sized up the scenery around us, Santi had a Tristram’s Warbler that put on a great show for us. Further down the road we walked through the shadows of the soaring red cliffs above us, finding a few Eurasian Crag-Martins zipping on the canyon winds. Another gorge the following morning produced another great sighting—a female Lanner Falcon sitting in her nest waiting for the male to produce some breakfast. Soon enough she was stretching and took flight. The male was there with a half-eaten rodent, possibly a fat sand rat. She grabbed breakfast and quickly ate it down. Then there was much vocalization and they mated before the male flew off. I hope they have a successful spring raising falcons in the desert. A Long-legged Buzzard was also cruising the gorge, undoubtedly with a nest hidden nearby.",{"type":54,"attrs":138438,"content":138439},{"textAlign":48},[138440],{"text":138441,"type":52},"Todra Gorge broke up our drive before lunch. A nice stream flowed through the gorge and attracted a few birds. The most unusual was a male Common Kingfisher! More expected were Gray Wagtails, Blue Rock Thrush, and Crag Martins. After these great sightings we continued on our journey to the edge of the Sahara Desert at Erg Chebbi. One promising wadi lured us to hike for Scrub Warbler in the desert. While we didn’t find the warbler, we found another Great Gray Shrike and a family party of Fulvous Chatterers, which was an exciting find in the desert. After another great lunch we walked again for Scrub Warbler. This time we found them, but they didn’t want to be seen, and we had a challenge getting good looks at this sneaky semi-terrestrial warbler. We arrived at our hotel just as sunset was painting the western sky with wonderful pastels and the dunes of Erg Chebbi loomed to our east.",{"type":54,"attrs":138443,"content":138444},{"textAlign":48},[138445],{"text":138446,"type":52},"The next morning we drove past the dunes en route to a watering hole that attracted hundreds of sandgrouse for our viewing pleasure. Spotted, Crowned, and a few Pin-tailed sandgrouse made coursing flights past us and landed in the desolate field in front of us. Even as the wind gathered and we experienced our first mini-sandstorm, the sandgrouse came and went. Next, we made a few walks into the desert, searching for the African Desert Warbler, allowing us to study the plants of the desert, track beetle paths, and follow rodent runs as they left footprints in the desert sands. We watched the captivating display flights of male Greater Hoopoe-Larks as they ascended, singing on their strikingly black-and-white wings only to dive straight back to earth with their wings closed after a short flight.",{"type":54,"attrs":138448,"content":138449},{"textAlign":48},[138450],{"text":138451,"type":52},"After not finding the Desert Warbler, we made a stop at the Desert Sparrow acacia, and a family group finally flew in; while the male was sneaky, we got great looks at the female and young and their extremely pale plumage. Overhead, a pair of Brown-necked Ravens soared on the desert winds. Another special sighting lay ahead; again, the local guides had a good bird lined up for us. After a quick stop at a guide’s house, he wasn’t home, which caused me a bit of a panic. But the drivers all knew the spot, and soon we were scoping a female Egyptian Nightjar with the golden fuzz of a chick sticking out from under her right wing. Another great lunch in a cool kasbah right at the edge of the dunes was also attended by House Sparrows that came and went as they pleased.",{"type":54,"attrs":138453,"content":138454},{"textAlign":48},[138455],{"text":138456,"type":52},"Our final stop of the evening was the recently filled oasis lake at Dayet Srij. Hundreds of Greater Flamingos, more than 100 Ruddy Shelducks, and dozens of Black-winged Stilts and Pied Avocets were calling this new oasis home. The shelducks and stilts already had young, taking advantage of the temporary wetland—it will be gone this summer. One of our most memorable walks into the desert followed the lake. We weren’t far in when a few of us saw a flash of movement out of the corner of our eyes. It was a large falcon, and it quickly dived into the brush, chasing prey. We quickly assessed it had caught its prey, allowing us to get great looks in the scope as it caught its breath, presumably after a long tail chase. After several minutes it started plucking and eating its quarry, which turned out to be an unlucky Spotted Sandgrouse. We weren’t the only ones that had seen the action. A Booted Eagle had probably seen the whole thing and quickly appeared overhead making half-hearted dives while circling the falcon and keeping an eye on us. It never went for the falcon, but if we hadn’t been right there, I think the falcon would have lost its lunch to the larger eagle. The sandgrouse would have been so large that there wouldn’t have been any way it could outrun the eagle. We were privileged to watch the whole thing play out before us, all the while missing the African Desert Warbler, which we would never find.",{"type":54,"attrs":138458,"content":138459},{"textAlign":48},[138460],{"text":138461,"type":52},"Through the afternoon the wind had gained strength, and by the time we got back to the hotel, right on the edge of the dunes, we were in a sandstorm.

Our first morning started on a fun note as we enjoyed a kaleidoscope of birds in the park right next to our hotel. Seeing Pacific Golden-Plovers strutting across the grass was wonderful, each in its own stage of molt toward breeding plumage. Like all the birds to come, we took time to appreciate and enjoy them day by day. Rose-ringed Parakeets called overhead as Red-vented Bulbuls called back and forth in the canopies. A major tour highlight was very close to us in the park: White Terns. They were flying overhead, many carrying small fish.

A Laysan Albatross passed overhead as the curlew slowly walked by.

We saw them flying around and at their nests, with a few actively building. It was a thrilling birding experience at this overlook.

In the afternoon we saw nesting Rosy-faced Lovebirds, two Northern Mockingbirds, and a few of us glimpsed flying Chestnut-bellied Sandgrouse.

Several Erckel’s Spurfowl were seen on the drive to this legendary woodland, home to many native and island-endemic species. Our visit to Hakalau was a clear highlight of the tour, and with patience we saw all of the key targets of this remarkable native forest. I’iwi greeted us with their “honking” notes, while Hawaii Amakihi trilled nearby. We watched a family of Alawi (Hawaii Creepers) foraging together, with juveniles staying close to their parents. Further down the trail we observed several male and female Hawaii Akepa feeding in the upper canopy, their preferred foraging zone. Omao, the Hawaiian Thrush, gurgled and sang around us, and several charming Hawaii Elepaio came into view as well. It was both wild and deeply peaceful. We were fortunate to be within this intact, sacred landscape, home to both native birds and plants. After a picnic lunch and a dark morph Io (Hawaiian Hawk) flying through the clouds, we carefully searched and eventually found the very rare Akiapolaau pecking in nearby koa trees.
