An Expert, autonomous with the birds . . .


A man in Loreto, has taught me to look more closely, at individual trees in the forest . . . (DK, I'm talking birds here . . .)

From his website, See: bcsbirds.com, view his on-going data base of local observations). Once here, scroll to the bottom, for most recent survey.

On 4/11/2012, I saw in a very special way, all but one or two listed that day. We were at Las Garzes.

He introduced me to one important bird in particular:



Vermilion flycatcher, in my front yard.

Since that time, I follow his lists, in association with whatbird.com. A pearl, that he shared.

Presently, here in Las Garzas, I have 3 tall date palms, heads snapped by Jimena. I look forward to new friends in my forest. (DK . . . I want to encourage nests or cafeterias on top of these very tall stumps).

You all know this Nomad as tehag. Dig deeper, if you enjoy birds.

Tom is an incredible asset, of mankind.

tehag & BigOly . . . kindly show us what this guy really looks like.

I'd have to sell my boat to have the photo equipment you enjoy.

They are all around.
Until a guest pointed it out to me, I had overlooked this nicely crafted nest in the palapa overhang by my front door, in which a house finch is keeping eggs warm .

FYI, I went to both websites and www.whatbird.com advertises the app for phones so I checked it out for Iphone and there is 50% right now which is significant. The iBird Explorer Pro app is normally $29.99 and is now $14.99. The same company has other apps for less, the Pro is the most comprehensive and the most expensive. Happy Birding:)

A pair of Gila Woodpeckers has excavated a nest hole in one of my decapitated date palms, just off my porch.
