[cobirds] NY Times Article about Birding in South America

Interesting article about birding in South America :) Enjoy. From The New York Times: OUTDOORS: Birding Along the Cloud Forests South America’s Urubamba River valley and the surrounding region are as spectacular for birding as they are underrated.

RE: [cobirds] Admin Message: Post this morning by Julia Bond

Good advice...always good to be cautious. I did try and access this article earlier today and my company's software flagged it as cautionary. Even when I overrode the caution, I didn't get anything to come up, which made me nervous. Just by way of interest, however, there is an article in

Re: [cobirds] Loon molt

Many thanks to Tony Leukering for setting the record straight on underwater wing-powered locomotion (or rather, lack thereof) among loons, and also for sharing his vast wealth of ornithological knowledge with our Colorado birding community, making us all wealthier (in knowledge, anyway). I

[cobirds] Nightflight, Thursday

Hi COBirders, With this string of gorgeous evenings, calm and clear, I had to be out watching the moon for crossings. After a great show Tuesday, I didn't see more than 4-5 birds Wednesday night between 9:00 and 9:30. Tonight I watched with the moon a little lower in the sky (but, of course,
