Panama Reads
I’m just getting ready to walk out the door to lead a sparrow trip for the Delmarva Ornithological Society. Wish us luck–it’s shaping up to be a good year!
In the meantime, if I haven’t already overloaded you with Panama posts, there are 3 other fine bird bloggers who are posting about the trip–you might want to hop on over to their sites (if you don’t already) and check out their accounts. It’s like a crime-free, neotropical birding version of Rashomon! Sort of.
Above, you can test your skill at profiling bird bloggers. Here are the names of our group, with the bloggers hotlinked.
From left: Fernando (our driver, whose last name I didn’t get–sorry), me, Mike Freiberg, Cristina Cervantes, Bill Thompson III, Yenia Mendoza (tour operator), Liz Payne, Luis (our guide in central Panama–again, I missed the last name, and am thus a lousy journalist), Lisa White, John Riutta, and Kees Van Berkel.
Hmmm…if our group is any indication, the leading marker for bird bloggers is apparently biomass.
Have a good Sunday and thanks for reading!
A rogue’s gallery, to be sure – especially that pirate-looking one in the green bandana.
It was a great group – I could hardly imagine a better group of people to be birding with in Panama.
Greetings from the other side of the Dbay. Wishing we could meet in TX this year, but we are heading to the Galapagos after Thanksgiving. See you soon. Say ‘hi’ to Liz. Jackie P.
El Jefe:
Nice to see the group shot! What a fun trip that was! Thx for sharing. Hope the sparrows treated you right. BOTB
