Wren, it sounds like you had a great trip. Congrats on all your lifers. This is quite a list. I would like to go on one of these birding festivals, they seem to be all around the states.
If you get a chance, go. It’s a great opportunity to see birds and bloggers.
wow…what a great trip this must have been! I love that little owl on the post.
It was awesome, Mary. This was one of many great looks at great birds.
Whew! That’s a tremendous trip list! Congratulations on the lifers. It sure was fun spending time with you- let’s do it again soon.
As I recall, you had a pretty good list of lifers, too, Lynne.
Thanks to katdoc, for reminding me to translate the names into US English.
How amazing! Some nice photos too!
That’s quite an impressive list!! A Ferruginous Hawk is always on my wish list when I head south! What a beauty! No wonder it’s latin name is Buteo regalis! ~karen
We were truly lucky to find this one perched and posing for us – we’d seen them flying and at a distance, but none for so good a look. Three cheers for Bob the bus driver, who spotted the bird and slammed on the brakes!
