Okay, I give up.....Google has a bug in it today, and I've tried and tried to re-order the following photos and to eliminate a few duplicate photos to the point that I am not going to waste anymore time. The gist of our birding is found after the photos. When I get more photos from Liz, Sid, Jerry and Pat, I'll post them separately.

Lunch break in Erongaricuaro on market dayFriends Liz and Sid visited from Tucson last week along their friends from Spokane, Pat and Jerry. Hugo was able to join us for two days before he headed to Long Point Bird Observatory.
We visited the bridge to Jaracuaro, La Estacion, Columpio near Zarzamora, and various favorite spots in the Tacamabaro area. Watching three hummingbird feeders at my house also kept us busy. No Rufous, Allen's or Calliope's have made an appearance yet this season.
With six pairs of eyes belonging to six serious birders, I was hoping for something rare to show up. No luck, however. No swifts, no unusual flycatchers, no new warblers.... the one bird that was a potential lifer - a largish owl - briefly caught my eye before delving deep in a tree on the other side of Rio Corucha. Hugo saw it, too, but not enough for either of us to identify it.
Liz and Jerry have promised photos of birds, bats, dragonflies, insects butterflies, moths, etc. I will post them when the CD arrives.
