Slightly jealous reading Mysterio's Israel postings! Certainly one of the great birding countries in the world, and somewhere I hope the three brothers can manage a trip to soon.
Back in Mexico, and nothing that exciting. Still a nice collection of waders at the Barco. At least 5 Least Sandpipers have been present for the last week, together with 4 Spotted Sands and a Greater Legs. 4 Black-necked Stilts had been long-stayers but had gone by this afternoon.
The Barco is regularly visited by up to 30 Cattle Egrets. I have also seen 1 Snowy Egret, 1 Great Egret and 1 White-faced Ibis there in the last few days.
Monarch Butterflies (as pictured above) are moving through rapidly. About 10 a minute over my house this afternoon. That adds up to some pretty big numbers!
Here's the cast: Least, Least, Least (top 3), 'Legs', and 'Little and Large'
