The last time I birded Carara NP, I bumped into a birder that I knew. This time, it happened again. Someone different. It wasn't the same person still there. A small world. A few scenery pics from through the first 26 days. Scenery attracts less attention as I maintain at least one tick per day. 😀

The first of three days at sea has started with Blue Whales.

All the best

[Frank van Drogen]

Looks like (another) life-time experience! Happy to see that you seem to be enjoying yourself immensely

 

[Scridifer]

Love that Poison Dart Frog!

Day 27 of 40 was the first of three days at sea. I added three countries to those in which I have birded but with limited diversity in each - not even a Feral Pigeon or a House Sparrow!

Nicaragua - 12
El Salvador - 17
Guatemala - 10

The highlight of the day was Tahiti Petrel but the myriad of non-avian biodiversity was fantastic. The group dynamic is the oddest that I have ever experienced. I will reserve judgement for the remaining week but it is certainly likely to shape my future choices.

Two year ticks:-

585. Tahiti Petrel 1 April At sea, Nicaragua
586. Least Tern 1 April At sea, Nicaragua

A few pics - Least Tern, Tahiti Petrel, Magnificent Frigatebird, Pomarine Skua, Wedge-tailed Shearwater, Leach's Storm-petrel (dark-rumped), Red-billed Tropicbird, Nazca Booby, Red-footed Booby pursuing flying fish, Brown Booby pursuing flying fish, Galapagos Shearwater, Blue Whale (two pics), Mobula Ray species somersaulting, Pygmy Beaked Whale, Bottle-nosed Dolphin, Spotted Dolphin (two pics including one leaping), Common Dolphin leaping & Ridley's Sea Turtle.

Good stuff, Paul, have you scheduled in Pinnacles NP on the LA to SF road-trip?

Good stuff, Paul, have you scheduled in Pinnacles NP on the LA to SF road-trip?

Not currently on the schedule. A bit of planning on the hoof currently...

What are the main species there?

We have six more days in total.

Many thanks

Paul

Nice, brings back great memories of the birds I saw in SoCal in August 2023 - very envious of the White-headed Woodpecker and Lawrence's Goldfinch! Good luck with the Island Scrub Jay.

 

[Paul Chapman]

Day 36 of 40 belonged to superb displays from Humpback Whales but whilst they stole the show, 6 lifers were amongst an uptick in the trip and year lists as we visited Santa Cruz Island for Island Scrub-Jay. I ended the day on 282 lifers from a trip list of 604 species & the Californian section ended on 28 lifers from 101 species. Some "easy" species will inevitably be missed on this short leg but the strategy is to try & get some of the harder range-restricted species to make future visits, if they take place, easier....

722. Wandering Tattler 10 Apr 2025 Ventura Harbor--general | US-CA
723. Black Turnstone 10 Apr 2025 Ventura Harbor--general | US-CA
724. Ring-billed Gull 10 Apr 2025 Ventura Harbor--general | US-CA
725. Clark's Grebe 10 Apr 2025 Ventura Harbor--general | US-CA

731. Caspian Tern 10 Apr 2025 Ventura Harbor--general | US-CA

A significant drive and some well earned rest ended the day as the next day, the main target was LeConte's Thrasher.

A few pics - Cassin's Kingbird, Black Oystercatcher, Osprey, Black-necked Grebe, Caspian Tern, Black-crowned Night-heron, Humpback Whales (three pics), Bewick's Wren, White-crowned Sparrow, Mourning Dove, Island Fox, Island Scrub-Jay, Black Phoebe, Wandering Tattler, Black Turnstone, Clark's Grebe, Willet & Western Grebe.

Only three days left. The trouble with a short trip....

Day 37 of 40 saw a further 7 lifers. My lifers are now 289 species from a trip listbof 614 species with 35 lifers from 116 species on the Californian leg.

A day with another significant relocation so birding was mainly a few hours in the morning. Days 38 to 40 will probably be spent mainly on the coast. My year list actually overtook my 2023 & 2024 yearlists today at the equivalent point but that is unlikely to last:-

732. LeConte's Thrasher 11 Apr 2025 Near Lancaster, California | US-CA
733. Bell's Sparrow 11 Apr 2025 Near Lancaster, California | US-CA
734. Vesper Sparrow 11 Apr 2025 Near Lancaster, California | US-CA
735. Western Meadowlark 11 Apr 2025 Near Lancaster, California | US-CA
736. Sage Thrasher 11 Apr 2025 Near Lancaster, California | US-CA
737. Brewer's Sparrow 11 Apr 2025 Near Lancaster, California | US-CA
738. Swainson's Hawk 11 Apr 2025 Near Lancaster, California | US-CA
11 Apr 2025
739. Tricoloured Blackbird 11 Apr 2025 Near Lancaster, California | US-CA
740. Western Kingbird 11 Apr 2025 Saint Andrew's Abbey | US-CA

A few pics - Northern Harrier, California Scrub-Jay, Western Bluebird, Black Phoebe, Oak Titmouse, Nuttall's Woodpecker, Western Kingbird, Tricoloured Blackbird, Swainson's Hawk, Sage Thrasher, Brewer's Sparrow, Savannah Sparrow, Brewer's Blackbird, White-crowned Sparrow, Bell's Sparrow (two pics), LeConte's Thrasher (two pics), California Quail & Vesper Sparrow.
