On December 20th
I made the trip down to Los Cusingos Sanctuary and then to San Gerardo
de Rivas. The trip to these two spots
produced six life birds among the many species seen. I was joined on this trip by guide Andres
who provided some expert guidance during the trip.
As a side the note the last few morning I have made a stop
at the Honeypot in Hadley and have found Short eared Owls hunting the fields
there before sunrise. On Wednesday
morning I had at least three and possibly a fourth and on Thursday morning I
had two with some interaction between them with one bird vocalizing a few
times. I have never had multiple Short eared Owls in western Massachusetts before so very interesting to see them. I tried to get some photos but
the light was so low getting any decent shots has proven illusive so far.
