Birds, Birds, Birds

If you don't want to see bird's look no further. We spent a morning mist-netting at the Bahia for training on sample collection technique. It was quite an amazing morning with over twenty species captured. Here are some of the highlights.

White-bellied Seedeater (male)

Striped Cuckoo

Red-billed Scythe-bill (A new record for the Bay)

Pearly-vented Tody-tyrant (one of my favorites!)

Grassland Sparrow (banded, in fact but from where we don't know)

Black-capped Warbling Finch

We are headed out for Sante Fe, Argentina this afternoon. There, we will orient ourselves to the area where will work next week.
