We arrived safely back home last night from our adventure in Ecuador. What a great trip it was!!! I will be posting many photos and short stories over the next week about our trip. I have downloaded all of my photos and now the long process of editing them begins.
Todays post however, is about the birds we found this morning in our own "garden". Migration is in full swing right now in Costa Rica and this morning we saw quite a nice selection of migrants. A few of the species seen were: Yellow-bellied Flycatcher, Eastern Wood-Pewee, Red-eyed Vireo, Philadelphia Vireo, Swainson's Thrush, Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Scarlet Tanager, Summer Tanager, Baltimore Oriole, Chestnut-sided Warbler, Black-and-white Warbler, Blackburnian Warbler, Canada Warbler and Cerulean Warbler.
We also managed to finally reach the 200 mark for our yard list. We had 4 new yard birds this morning - Ovenbird - Acadian Flycatcher - Yellow-throated Vireo - and Mountain Thrush!!! Our total is now at 201 and our new goal is to reach 250 by this time next year, we'll see...
Like I mentioned before I will be posting lots of photos from our Ecuador trip shortly.
All the images posted below were taken this morning from our patio! I'm really looking forward to see what turns up tomorrow morning!
