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... ----- Steve Cagan, photographer [log in to unmask] 216-932-2753 www.stevecagan.com www.pbase.com/stevecagan stevecagan.blogspot.com ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
