Well, here comes my shot in the arm. I realize by doing this I have really shot myself in the foot, but I just can't help it. I can't stand that all those birds I saw in Belize go to waste. And besides, at least I'll be ahead for a few days! Also, I saw some REALLY cool birds this time. I saw a hummingbird that has a long thin tail that is half again as long as it's body! You can see it here: the Long Billed Hermit (shouldn't that be the long TAILED hermit?). Oh and check out my IVORY-BILLED WOOD . . . (#111)February 27

Whew!
Way to Go! Now Shall I go to Costa Rica and see if we can settle the odds?!? (Vacation Ruth and I) Or shall it be Alaska to finish up some of the birds I need for North America? I think my better chance of catching you would be Costa Rica.
ReplyDeleteThen possibly the Amazon this fall for a mission trip?
Hey now! Not TWO out of area/great bird sites. Hmmmm. I guess I'd better make good use of my trip to Northern California and then my other trip to Southern Cal. Hmmmm. Maybe I should be planning a mission trip to the Amazon too.
