Dear Pete:
Are you birding up to the last minute? I thought you would be packing and repacking frantically, obsessing about missed planes, lost luggage, bad airline meals, lost passports, atrocious weather in Tierra del Fuego, uncongenial fellow-passengers, and the Magellanic Woodpecker that keeps tapping at trees just around the corner but moves further away, never letting you get a glimpse.

Hi birders,
Snapped a fun image this morning. Hint: if you are a bird, this is
SCARY (click this link) (https://www.lighthousenet.com/photos/birds/documentary/hawk_coopers_juvi_261101a.jpg) Can you ID the species? No need to respond, just something fun to try.
If you think the above was too easy, earlier this morning, this individual was strategically positioned behind a tree, so that most of the head head, chest, and tail, were out of view. Click to see THAT very hard ID. (https://www.lighthousenet.com/photos/birds/documentary/hawk_coopers_juvi_261101b.jpg)
Birding, it's a fun state of mind, not an activity, :)
