My most recent lifer was the Northern Pintail. Spotted at Cranberry Marsh in the Durham, Ontario. Beautiful birds.

White-ruffed Manakin,
happy to see this guy, a very handsome male.
Scarlet Tanager,
this was a first for me and even stranger was his bright red plumage which shouldn't be happening here in Central America at this time of year. I've been told it can but is rare. We both got very good, close views. Beautiful bird.

A couple of weeks ago I continued the slow ticking-off of the UK birds I really should have seen by now, when I flushed a Jack Snipe while walking round the reserve at Hickling Broad, Norfolk.

6 lifers in the past couple of weeks visiting family in Western Europe: Western Swamphen and Monk Parakeet in Spain, and Lesser Yellowlegs, both Common and Arctic Redpolls and Parrot Crossbill in the UK. I still have 13 more days, so hopefully there'll be the chance for a few more!

...just zis guy, you know?
Wow! That sounds great! I've done a bunch of CBC's up here in the GWN, but always wanted to do one in the tropics.
Who organizes the Carara one, anyway? I have lots of great memories of birding there, would love to go back...
