    Brazil, June 2006

    I don't post here too often, but I like browsing the site. :hi: I am a bird biologist from New Mexico and I recently went on a two week trip to Brazil with three friends. I got over 200 new bird species and lots of mammals and herps. Overall it was an amazing trip. I put together a trip...

    SE Brazil - Atlantic Rainforest

    I went to Brazil for the first time in June. I have a trip report on my website if you or anyone else is interested. Lots of cool birds, but they sure as heck are hard to get photos of in the forest! Trip Report Link I don't post here too often, I'll try to hang out more. :-) EDIT: By...

    Song Sparrow ?

    Dang, I've often had trouble with a few of the sparrows. To me, the sparrow in the first post looks a lot like the pics of mine. Thanks for the ID help.

    Song Sparrow ?

    Sorry to barge in on your thread, but I was wondering if these pics I have are a song sparrow or not as well. Taken in the Chiricahua Mountains, last weekend.

    Achooooooooo !! what bird flu means to birders

    Here is a link to some guidance for biologists in the US: http://www.nwhc.usgs.gov/publications/wildlife_health_bulletins/WHB_05_03.jsp At my banding station, we will be using latex gloves from now as just for starters. Once it is confirmed here, who knows what the requirements will be...

    Hello from New Member

    Hi Kristin, Welcome, I'm new here too and live just north of Santa Fe. I was debating getting down to see the yellow grosbeak, but never got around to it. It was quite the hot topic around here. See ya! Chuck...

    Say's phoebe? (New Mexico)

    The other folks are right, Canyon Towhee. They are very brave around here, one flew into my building last year. I had to catch him and move him back outside. 3:-)

    Hi from northern New Mexico

    Oh yeah, I've driven that way several times. My Dad lives off 188 south of Payson so I drive that route often. I'm so tired of that billboard in Heber blaming environmentalists for the Rodeo fire. Think they'll ever put something new up there? Anyway, 113 sp is awesome!

    Bird Flu heading towards UK

    I've already heard from my local Wild Birds Unlimited store that seed sales are way down. Terrestrial birds seem to not be affected as much as waterfowl (yet). Taking precautions such as regularly cleaning your feeders and birdbaths should be a good precaution for now. If the H5N1 does end up...

    Hi from northern New Mexico

    Hi Luke, I did see that page. It was linked off of another bill deformity page here--> Link. Yeah, two at the same time makes you think there is more going on than the random genetic event. Probably related to contaminants, especially since RWBLs like wetlands. Anyway, I posted my pics in...

    deformed bill, RWBL

    On Sunday I noticed something odd at one of my feeders. The red-winged blackbirds have been ravaging my feeders in huge flocks for about 6 weeks now, but one of them looked like it was carrying some sticks. I thought it was a little early to be collecting nesting material so I took a closer...

    Hi from northern New Mexico

    Hi Katy, thanks for the welcome. Are you in the 4-corners area or more south? I drive through the Holbrook area regularly when I go see family in Phoenix. Hi Luke, thanks for the welcome. Yeah, the birding around here is pretty fun. I have some pictures of a deformed RWBL I saw in my yard...

    Planing a trip to Arizona / New Mexico

    Southeastern AZ has some of the best birding in the country. Personally, I think the best time is spring. The San Pedro River is great for birding, lots of Vermillion Flycatchers. I am going to SE AZ myself the end of April to explore the Chiricahuas, I want to see my first trogon. Closer to...
