Birds seen on our recent trip

bajajudy - 2-6-2008 at 03:37 PM

We stayed in the Palapa room at Ignacio Springs B&B, which is right on the water. In the palms above our room were at least 7 Night Herons. I believe that they were all juveniles because of their coloring.
Is this little guy cute or what

This is kinda fuzzy but you can see 3 or 4 of them

When they left the palms at sunset, they made the most unusual sound. It sounded like a dog saying yuck, yuck. It was my new bird song of the trip. Now I can identify them by their call.

There is an osprey nest next to the empty lot between Los Caracoles(stopped in to meet Serenita but she was in Ensenada:no:) and Malarrimo. I always walk the dogs here and almost always get a shot of an osprey. It was in the same parking lot that a few years back an osprey dropped a fish almost on my head.

Judy, the hawk on the cardon is probably a Red Tail (if I'm seeing his back)

I believe the bird on the palm is a green heron.
Nice shots!!

Green heron adult, not bittern I'm fairly certain.

Desertsurfergal - 2-6-2008 at 07:23 PM

I love bird pictures, thanks Judy. I also agree on the green heron.

Other shore birds..................

Summer molt. Various species. Coastal Brazilian lowlands. Very common.

Mates all year, it is said.

Hook, how can you be so sure without seeing the backside? this could be any usual species of young bird, ie. chick!
