From time to time Susan and I have shared sightings of birds via hijacking another thread! Although I am not a serious birder I do keep my eyes open for rare or unusal sightings. I never report these in an official way because my feathered "Relations" don't really care for hordes of people or banders etc. I think this is a safe place to share my sightings. Yesterday I saw a male Blackburnian Warbler at very close range for about 5 minutes. Beautiful bird. All My Relations Namaste -Dennis

It was a male too, and they are drop-dead gorgeous. The guy I saw was way up high (hence the famous warbler neck ), so I didn't get a picture. But I did get a good view, and that is what is important. Nice sighting, Dennis! I saw three Roseate Spoonbills just now...Dan and I took a quick trip out to the Pass to see who was out and about. They are a beautiful color.... http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/roseate_spoonbill/id

I got a very close view of the warbler - he was at about shoulder height and then dropped to the ground and looked directly at me for a few minutes before flying up ino a birch and then up to the tops of the big spruce trees which is their habitat. No Camera with me, but a very good and surprisingly close look. All My Relations Namaste -Dennis

Frigatebird ), but not at Man-O-War... I did take some pics there, though....Albury Bros. boatyard, the Hibiscus Cafe, and a few others. I'm still farting around with Photoshop, but I will post them when I'm done. I finally got to see YOUR island! Susan

We will not have them back here until winter. We are loaded with Green Herons on our canal right now. Dan and I saw 6 as we brought the boat back in yesterday. They are a fascinating bird, and one of the few who know how to use "tools".... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNTw7GH325U Go birdie!

We have Great Blue Herons here and a heronry close by. Two years ago I saw a couple of herons in flight and one of them was a Wurdemann's Heron which is only in Florida - a long way from home here - one of the rare ones not reported!

There are a lot of Gambol's quail around here... lot's of babies right now.

This is on the way up into the Gila Wilderness. Last trip up there, we saw a wild turkey & several babies. Redstarts, ravens, more than one variety of woodpecker... lots of cool birds up there. I heard a noise and looked out the window at my office a couple of days ago, and there was a roadrunner perched on the hood of my secretary's car peering back at me. karen

I tried hard when I was in San Antonio after the first Gathering, but skunked out. Thanks for the invite, Miss Karen. I hope someday I can take you up on that.
