I am getting faster with uploading the birdie shots to my gallery and getting them IDed.
Am far from finished though ;)

This Beauty is from last Saturday at the golf course.
I’m so glad I am here during migration and get to see them all :)

The weather has changed back to much cooler, sunny and no humidity.
Lucky me. Perfect weather for the weekend and birding tours.
Catch you all next week again ;)

    Ah, jetzt verstehe ich: du kriegst so viele unterschiedliche Vögel zu sehen, weil sie 'bei euch' sozusagen vorbeikommen.
    (Heute Morgen war hier ein Eichelhäher-Pärchen. Aber sie sind sehr scheu. Die würde ich nie fotografiert kriegen.)

    Cute bird, but near useless as a caddy, I would think.

    Thanks everyone!

    The plant he is sitting on is actually a Date palm tree :)

    Wonderful shot of the little bird. I like the way he turned his head in the first shot.

    I took a bird watching tour when i travelled to the Peruvian amazon..Puerto Maldonado, tambopata national reserve and the inka terra national reserve are good spots for eco tourism and bird watching tours..highly recommend www.closerperu.com if anyone is interested in travelling there for bird watching in the amazon or seeing machu picchu...
