Anticipation…
August 29th, 2007 by Rick Wright
Half a dozen of us gathered yesterday in the University of Arizona bird collections for a show-and-tell session on tropical birds.
It was a chance to admire everything from tinamou eggs to tanagers, and for several of us to prepare ourselves a bit for upcoming visits south.
The big nightjar (a Tawny Frogmouth)Â doesn’t look much different in skin from when it was alive, but the parrots and doves are invariably much harder to see when they’re lurking in the canopy foliage or streaking across the sky.
And now it’s time to get out and see how much we learned!
