Hi Everyone,
Again Iıll have to ask your indulgence for a little report a little bit
outside our normal area, but reading the reports of northern migrants
arriving in or through Ohio, I just couldnıt restrain myself.
Iım writing from Quibdó, the capital of the department of El Chocó, and area
of tropical and sub-tropical rain forests in the Colombian Pacific. Here in
Quibdó, I stay in a modest but comfortable place in the city with lots of
green, flowers and birds.
Among the migrants Iıve seen here recently are: Yellow Warbler, Northern
Waterthrush, American Redstart and Traillıs Flycatcher (as I wrote
elsewhere, the little buggers donıt sing here, and the habitat is like
neither of the ones we might use in identifying this bird, so...). Elsewhere
in the department, up near the Caribbean coast, Iıve seen Green Heron and
lots of Barn Swallows.
Some birds you canıt tellfor example, there are resident and migrant Little
Blue Herons here, but they donıt tell which they are...
Best wishes,
Steve Cagan
Usually in Cleveland Hts, Cuyahoga County, but these days in Quibdó
See you all gulling in January...
