    Black Shag or Little Pied Shag - Fiordland, New Zealand

    I'm struggling to figure out which one these are. One was perching in the sun the other on the nest with two chicks. Looks like the pics of the Black Shag in my somewhat outdated Field Guide but was possibly just little small to be that. And the variations in the Little Pied Shags plumage make...

    ID Help Minca Colombia

    While looking at hummingbirds on the veranda of the Hotel Minca last December I saw this beauty at their fruit feeder. I figured it was a Tanager of some sort but could not ID it. Searched the rest of the field guide but still came up blank. Hope somebody can help me from the pretty bad picture...

    Field Guide for Brazil

    Field Guide for Brazil

    Will be spending 6 weeks in Rio this summer and am wanting to get opinions on what field guide would be best to take with me. Only thing I'm finding is Ber van Perlo, but it seems pretty hefty, and by now is getting quite old. Any other suggestions?
