Another early-morning rail call in the marsh -- this one quite different and probably due to a different species (I would guess Virginia Rail this time). In the spotted thrush department: a Swainson's Thrush. Also there are at least two Brown Thrashers around (okay, I know they're mimids, not thrushes, but they are spotted).
As I mentioned yesterday, I'm doing an illustrated talk on birds of Peru tomorrow evening, Monday, October 1st, at 7:15 at the Quogue Wildlife Refuge (for Eastern LI Audubon). It's called "Birding Manu" because it largely concerns a trip from arid heights of the Andes down to the Amazonian rainforest on the Mother of God River -- all on or on the edge of the magnificent Manu National Park! The "penguins to parrots" subtitle is justified because the first (and last) day of the trip was on the coast. You don't have to be a member of either ELIAS or the Refuge; the public is invited (to the talk, that is).
