5 New Bird Photos From Costa Rica

Be sure to see the 5 bird photos I posted on my Costa Rica Decision Process Blog. Three are first-time sightings for me: Black-billed Nightingale-thrush, Collared Redstart, and Volcano Junco. The Toucan and Quetzal are possibly better images than I already have. My two days birding on the two-week trip were my favorite. The purpose of the trip was to see if I could re-retire in Costa Rica and it looks like I may by the end of the year. 

Albatross Bird Cam

Watch the mother albatross in Hawaii take care of her youngster. Cool!

In fact the whole Cornell Lab of Ornithology website is great and you can record your bird counts for the Great Backyard Bird Count there, February 14-17. Do it! I am!

Front Door Wreath Babies

One of my neighbors, Frances Carver, has a bird nest in the spring wreath on her front door. I tried making several shots with my pocket camera and none are very great, but this shows two of the three "babies" who should be flying out soon.

Concert in the Trees

After a morning at Zoo for meetings and afternoon of planting more flowers, I just sat awhile on the deck and listened to the many birds singing in the dozens of trees surrounding my place. Wonderful! And I didn't even make a photo!   :-)
