My birds and mammals 2011 - big year
While I'm not doing any kind of official Big Year, this certainly is a big year for me. I started the year off in Ecuador doing my dissertation research, I attended a 1-week biology course in Belize, joined my husband during his 1-week contract work out in California, have an upcoming trip to Colorado (to run a high altitude marathon, so I'm planning on getting there a week early to acclimate and of course to go birding), and will be attending a scientific meeting in Peru later this year. The biggest trip of all will be my 3.5 weeks in South Africa this summer, my first visit to this continent! There is also the possibility of a short trip to India at the end of the year, but that's not yet certain. And, of course, there is the birding I do in my home state... when I'm here.
So here I am, starting this thread after half the year has already gone by... oh well.

Thanks guys, Common Bottlenose Dolphin it is... I also recently noticed that Common Dolphin is split into Short-beaked and Long-beaked, and it looks like I can't determine which species I saw based on range alone (seen on the way back from Santa Cruz Island in Southern California). Is one species more likely than the other in this area?

Unfortunately no, in fact both species will hang out in the same schools. If you know what to look for Long-beaked is easy to pic out though.

I would say the animal in the first picture is a long-beaked, as the rostrum seems a bit long and the facial patterns seems closer to this species.

778. Bell's Vireo
Got him in the scrub adjacent to the local golfcourse this morning. Also had a nice view of a Northern Bobwhite perched in the open and calling, and a male Painted Bunting sitting out in the sun while singing.

44. Striped Skunk - nice to a live one for once, seen along the road before dawn while I was still in Arkansas birds 779-795, lifers in bold: Scaled Quail Virginia Rail Black Rail Mountain Plover Upland Sandpiper (along the highway in Oklahoma) Barn Owl Red-naped Sapsucker Say's Phoebe Cordilleran Flycatcher Hammon's Flycatcher Chihuahuan Raven Pygmy Nuthatch Curve-billed Thrasher MacGillivray's Warbler Western Tanager Black-headed Grosbeak Bullock's Oriole

Congratulations on the Black Rail

Been too busy to get out birding lately but fall migration is in full swing, maybe I can get myself a Golden-winged Warbler or something before it's too late. Might be going out to Oklahoma City this weekend, and checking the local listserv I see there are some good shorebird possibilities at the moment.
So nothing new on the bird front, but I did finally get a Virginia Opossum last night (mammal # 112).

Cabot's is the new world form (and would also include Cayenne). Sandwich is restricted to the old world. IOC has adopted the Herring Gull and Tern split, but not the Whimbrel split. I think it is quite likely that the Cabot Tern might eventually be re-lumped, but both forms are not difficult to stockpile
