117. Common Eider

Nice to catch up with the overwintering female in Cudillero. By no means a common bird in this part of the world.

Quite a "flex"

One of the few perks of having a nearly open air gym in the tropics. Hot as hell most the time but when I go to the corner where there's an open door for ventilation I look out onto some riparian forest.

Two new birds this morning.

A stop at a local Wildlife Management Area this morning produced one new bird for the year.

75. Cedar Waxwing

I rarely see waxwings this early in the year. Some birds do overwinter, but they are quite rare and usually don’t arrive in any numbers until April.
