Sorry to hog the thread (or not), but it's been a couple of good days here. I've missed the photos I've wanted of the blue patch of flying and sitting Cinnamon Teals and the Blue Winged Teals. More irritating to not have the camera for the Dowitcher and, I think a down-right-rare Red Necked Phalarope, but nonetheless:

Always a couple hour's of fun when the Wax wings show up.
Wandering Tattler is a cool bird. What's cooler than wandering,,?

Nesting Golden Eagle near Carson
There are two live chicks. One got up and moved around, the other only flapped a wing a couple time. Pics taken from 0.2miles with a low-end 36x spotting scope and a smart-phone camera. Video to follow later.

just got back from my trip to Nicaragua. We were able to find an Occelated Poorwill for Macklin Smith's North America list, but we didn't get it until last night when we were back in Costa Rica. We spent alot of time on our butts in boats. Caught the very end of the dry season so rivers were low and we were barely able to get into some places. Had to skip some others that were too dry.
The trip started out poorly when the outboard motor in our boat threw a rod just shy of the Nicaraguan border along the Rio Frio north of Los Chiles. The boatman had to paddle us a few kilometers downriver to the border checkpoint so we could catch the publc boat up to San Carlos at the outlet of Lake Nicaragua and the start of the Rio San Juan. We didn't make it to the Bartola Lodge until after dark. Fun navigating on a big river in a small panga at night. Luckily there was a full moon.
We went for a long forest hike the first day. Saw a ton of good stuff. Kevin got a few photos. The objective was a Speckled Mourner that was on territory - a really hard bird in Central America. We nailed it.
We went into the Indio Maiz reserve to explore what we could by boat but most of the access points were blocked because of the low water.
We dipped three nights in a row trying to find an Occelated Poorwill, but finally found one last night just over the border when we were back in Costa Rica. Not much to look at but a super rarity for Central America.
