Little Z, that is amazing.

Great score!

We just had a Crested Caracara sighted on the central coast today.
I'll go hunt for it Sun/Mon and see if I can get it. Very rare here. Mainly in AZ and Mexico.

Looks like you were on a great trip! Never had the coin for a "guide" but luckily you had one. Probably would have been impossible to see without one eh? Thanks for sharing!

Nice shooti', Cyndie!
Most excellent adventure TR Z!

BREAKING NEWS!
the ABA Checklist's 977th addition is the Purple Swamphen. I hasten to add that any rumours
about my dating her BITD are wildly exagerrated.

Darwin,

Fledgling W Bluebird.

Here is a fledgling Townsend's Solitaire. A lot of similarities.

little z, It seemed the Caracara didn't have a chance to elude your crew.

Awesome pics Little Z, your buddies nickname was funny.
Brit guide Harry Barnard, aka "Harry Spotter"

Funny ass name, had me chucklin' for a while.
Seen some awesome birds lately on our camping/road trips, but no pictures, except really fuzzy ones that don't even compare to what people post here.
Unless I have a Dodo sighting, they really aren't worth posting.

Reilly,

strike 2 on the Caracara!

I went to see the first one spotted in 2/2012 and then this time I went the very next day. No luck. Nobody did on day 2. It was a one day wonder.

Heading to SE AZ in one month though so crossing my fingers and hoping to see one there!

they look so damn cool!

Thanks Mike.

Here is one from today...I thinking Black-headed Grosbeak but it could be a Rose-breasted Grosbeak.

Need a expert on this one.

Slater, yer best shot for a Caracara is down at the Buenos Aires NWA.*
If you camp there and lie outside at night nekked with a slab of steak on
yer chest you might also see the jaguar that roams that place. Happy Hunting!

Wish me luck, too, I'm off to the Midwest in 3 weeks. Unfortunately it is
to go to a flipping wedding as it is at least a month past the prime birding
there. How could my niece be so inconsiderate in her scheduling? I still
think I have a gud chance of adding 6-12 boids to the Life List but it is
gonna come up short of getting me over the 500 Hump. ;-(

*They've stacks of Harlequin Quail there, too.

Pretty bird Bob D'A....I go with Black-Headed female though due to the darker bill color and the golden wash. Check out the bottom of this page that discusses it a very little.

Open to hearing (and learning from) better birder's thoughts.
