No pics but there is an absolute invasion of Snowy Owls in southern Vermont right now. One flew into my windshield the other night and I was heartbroken. Seen five since then.

I think this one is an American Kestral from a long way away yesterday:
So what type of lenses are you guys using? I'm thinking of taking the plunge to a proper bird camera in the next year or so and I'm wondering where to start. The camera I've got (Canon SX50) is very portable and has a big zoom which is a plus but the lens is slow to focus and not so good in low light situations which you might find in the jungle/rain forest. Is it just madness to start down this path?
Bob D'A,
Looking forward to your photos from Costa Rica. Are you the Bob D'A who made some routes at the New RIver Gorge in the late 80s, early 90s?

Thanks for the giggle Q-Ball. I can't do better than identifying the giraffe. :)
Pretty Kestrel. Birds and migration are incredible.

Just thought it would be a fun question!
Most are African Spoonbills, one Sacred Ibis, one Yellow-billed Stork, and Grey Herons.
And a Giraffe!

The Bare-throated Tiger Heron was also a favorite of ours on our visit to Belize. Here is one swallowing a fish.
And after getting it down:
