    Woodcreeper? (NE Argentina)

    Oh gosh. I thought it was Plain Brown Woodcreeper. I'm glad to find out that Thrushlike Woodcreeper was formerly a subspecies or I'd think I'd completely lost my pointy little mind. I'll keep an eye out for that buffy throat while I'm in Misiones.

    vinaceous (amazon) parrot at urugua-i provincial park?

    Has anyone seen the Vinaceous Parrot at this park recently? Will be there in January. I stumbled across someone's post elsewhere that the bird was already extinct in Argentina but "Tucai Birding" has some great photos. I don't need a step by step if the location of any remaining birds is a...

    Web cam

    I'll follow this thread with interest. We have many fine birders, ornithologists, and photographers in Louisiana, but we have completely missed the boat on the bird cams. We should have a web cam following our winter-breeding Bald Eagles or perhaps Great Horned Owls, at a time when their...

    upcoming trip Tokyo area

    Any of you folks still around? Will be visiting Tokyo for the first time for the Memorial Day long weekend. I have visited Kyoto before so I already have a few Japanese birds on my list but I would like to get more. Anyone wants to meet up, feel free to message me or tweet me. I have...

    azure-winged magpie & japanese green woodpecker near tokyo?

    Hi folks, I will be in Tokyo in a few days for a brief visit. I have found Charlie Harper's info on the Japan local patch forum, and I have downloaded some possible sites, but I wonder if anyone had more recent information about where I might rather easily find Japanese Green Woodpecker and...

    Yosemete birding

    Thanks for the suggestions on guides. I really just didn't know where to begin. Have you already returned from your trip? I was looking at the suggestion to go to Lake Tahoe and then sort of down and around to get to Yosemite while avoiding the snow...what did you end up doing or did you not...

    Difficult Bolivian Species

    I've been to Bolivia, but for the big flashy species not for the Antwrens, so I'm a little afraid to comment. Have you contacted birdbolivia.com? They put together a terrific package for me, in addition to my target species, which I suspect that they rated as "way too easy," they also helped...

    Yosemete birding

    I have some Yosemite questions as well if this thread is still live. First question, the National Park website says it's a crime (!) to post the locations of certain Yosemite species on the internet, including Great Gray Owl, Peregrine Falcon, and Northern Goshawk. So...I can find Peregrine...

    Will Downy Woodpecker hurt my tree?

    They will NOT hurt the tree. They can't even put a dent in my Trumpetcreeper Vine...much less a tree. Enjoy the Downies and your tree.

    How much should local birding guides know?

    The guide needs to know the birds, where and when they are found, what they sound like it and if it's allowed to call them with tapes etc, they should have the ability to do this. I've been in a couple situations with a novice guide, and it can be very awkward. Extremely important -- the...

    Raptor (with owner) at Trafalgur, UK

    I talked to this guy before, they bring the trained Harris Hawk to Trafalgar Square to scatter the pigeons. They are actually paid by the city to be there.

    Found a Golden Pheasant, now what?

    I would be willing to offer a good home having a nice yard but as I live in Louisiana, this just doesn't seem practical. In my area, "Found Pets" ads are free, and in your shoes, I would post all the free "I found your beautiful Golden Pheasant" ads I could. If you are worried about someone...
