I like to say it in a strong German accent "VOOD DUCK!"

The lovely Wood Duck.
When I was 4 years old I still could not pronounce words very well.
One day I went into my mother and said excitedly, "Bud Yaks!, Bud Yaks!"
She did not understand so I took her out and showed her the Bird Tracks in the dirt...
Or so I have been told. Guess I always liked Birds.
EDIT Wow, fantastic photos below Dave. That is quite a collection.

I'm finally getting around to editing some keeper shots from Panama in May. I'll start off with a round of Panama birding poker; a Trogon royal flush (or maybe 5 of a kind if Trogon is the 'kind' :-) We were fortunate to see all 5 Trogon residents while we were there which was super fun.

That tour of the Trogons was Violaceous!
Chinese food....that was inappropriate; especially among birders.

There are some gorgeous birds in the posts above.
Today I went above tree line on the Palmer Creek Road out of Hope. Here are a few of the birds I saw.
This is one of my favorite areas to hike, and bird.

Great stuff above, love the Trogons, really nice Dave.
I got a new lens and learning to use it. The Burrowing Owls are out and about and the young one are flying and hunting (mostly grasshoppers) been really fun to watch them grow.

BN, way to go, let's see more from Panama!
Cyndie, that Spotted Sandpiper looks like a carved and painted wooden decoy.
about 4 years ago this was a Chestnut-mandibled Toucan, then it became a Black-mandibled Toucan. Now it is a Yellow-throated Toucan.

BN, sick, braj!
So I was sitting on my back porch awaiting either a TIA or an infarction
after three hours of shoveling my front yard into a dumpster when I saw
a Bushy-tailed Tree Rat run across the intardnet cables. He stopped when
he saw me. I probably looked quite threatening. Then, out of nowhere
(but it had to be somewhere) came an airborne missile in the form of a
pissed off Mockingbird. He almost speared the Tree Rat but the latter
bailed off of the wire into the bushes below. Then the Mockingbird sat
there and told him to fuggetabout using his perching wire in the future.
Then he started to calling and I answered him. We had a nice duet for
about a minute and I almost forgot I was supposed to be dying.
