Some pics from our trip to south of Puerto Vallarta Mexico last week. Many cool birds but fewer species than usual and the overall count was way down...

Most excellent series, BN! Thanks!
Did ya see my crap shot of the Red-flanked Bluetail last page? Gonna give him
another go this week. This time I won’t have f/13 set! 🤡
Saw a Zone-tailed Hawk yesterday here in Lower Slobovia! I had my camera but went
for the binos instead. He’s been hanging around so will try for the money shot today.

Thanks John and Reilly, I haven't had much new material to post lately but I always enjoy seeing what you and the rest of the gang post up regularly :-) We will be doing some birding in AZ, TX and Panama this Spring, so hopefully we'll come back with some good lists and good pics :-) Cheers, Dave

great stuff, always nice to see BN's work. StahlBro, Ovenbirds are tough to get good shots of, nice work, and if you got in Cali it was a bird of note as well.
Had to look way back down the thread to see whether or not I'd posted any of these photos. Haven't taken many shots in the past few months and most of those were just crappy documentation photos.
immature Gray Hawk to go along with Dave's adult photos
Red-billed Pigeon in a tree
Short-billed Pigeon getting grit off the road (it's a canopy species)

Thanks little Z. It was Central Cali coast. At first I thought Hermit Thrush, but stoked on the Ovenbird.

Lots of great photos above.
An Ovenbird is a pretty good one for CA.
Since I hadn't checked eBird and listservs for the area, I was surprised to come across this Little Blue Heron yesterday. Seems it has been in the general area for a while.
This a pretty good species for SF Bay, only seen every few years.

Went to see the Red-flanked Bluetail again. Got a 15 second look after waiting 2.5 hours!
LOL Got one crappy pic. Oh, well, what else do I have to do? 🤡

Nice, Q man! A Lammergeier flew 25’ above my head in the Pamirs, I thought the Mother Ship was coming to pick me up! Couldn’t get the camera out fast enough. Saw another in Switzerland two years ago but too far away for an iPhone. 😐

Just a Red-whiskered Bulbul but they're not terribly obliging usually.
Just a female Anna's but not too bad, if I do say so.
BTW, if y'all have travel desires check out Fatbirder.com - a yuge amount of beta!

So, if I can get 5 more crankloons together we can have a semi-private
bird/animal safari to South Africa! Who’s in? Climbing is an added option!

We were surprised and delighted to have a GHO roost in a tree in our backyard all day today! Hopefully it will return again :-)
