Birdwatching Magazine, brown wood rail, Ecuador, Poza Honda

The story about the Brown Wood Rail is now available on BirdwatchingDaily. Thank you, Birdwatching Magazine!

Ready, set…..
Leap!
I was drawing and looked up to see the wood rail approaching the water!
2019 – Two Brown Wood Rails allowing a rare private viewing of behavior.

Thanks also to those of you who shared tips on working around the new Block Editor. (The ‘Add Link’ does not seem like an improvement either!)

Some people have adapted and show us by example that adaptation works – but is there anyone who absolutely loves the new Block and prefers it over Classic?

See the story about the Brown Wood Rails here: BirdWatchingDaily.

Sunny Skies at Poza Honda

I consider myself to have been the bridge between the
shotgun and the binoculars in bird watching.
Before I came along, the primary way to observe birds
was to shoot them and stuff them.
– Roger Tory Peterson

May 5/2018 Global Big Day – Manabi Province/Ecuador

Wow – Shazam! A wonderful queue of delightful comments welcomed me back to cyberspace! Thank you all!  The camera is a Panasonic/Lumix DMC-FZ200, which works well most of the time, though is frustrating when it thinks it should focus on a branch in the foreground, when I’m trying to photograph the difficult-to-see bird in the background!  Ah, there is joy in having the ‘delete’ function, and not a worry about wasted film!  There are lots of missed shots, but for the price, I’m very pleased with this ‘mirrorless’ camera.

What Bird? There seems to be a bit of white on its neck, and some light splotches on its breast.  It stayed long enough for a fair image, which is better than none!

How many birds can one see in one day?  How many can one county/province or state or nation see in one day?

How many species?

The eBird stats,  top four countries – as of today:
Colombia 1,548
Peru 1,491
Ecuador 1,156
Brazil 1,038
The USA, reporting 716 species, submitted 43,010 checklists! Congratulations, and #2 w/checklists was Canada with 6,985. (Colombia submitted almost 5,000 checklists! Wow!   Peru submitted a little over 1,500, and Ecuador submitted 419 checklists.)

(The eBird summary page is HERE/ebird.)

La Segua/Chone

After a full day of birding in the Segua, we looked forward to a change in scenery.
We reached the Poza Honda reservoir around 4:30 pm, and almost immediately they started seeing new species for the day!

Look down – just past the shadows of our heads!

A friend says that he loves my stories, but it's a shame that I'm in an institution in Mississippi and making this all up!
