[Tweeters] Port Townsend RED-footed booby

[Allison via Tweeters]

My error—on Thursday I sailed past the Port Townsend RED-footed booby, I must assume (although I didn’t see its feet, so it could have been a blue or brown, but what are the odds?)

> Dear Tweeters,

> If anyone out there in Tweeterland has some suggestions for a birding trip to Brazil, I'd love to hear them. I'm considering making my first trip to that country in November, i.e. two months from now. I reckon almost anywhere I go in Brazil would bring with it a lot of birding possibilities. I've no interest in visiting any big cities. The Pantanal is often suggested as the place where many birders make their first stop in Brazil, but I am willing to consider anywhere in Brazil that offers good birding.

> A few years ago, I had to abort a visit to Iguazu Falls when I was just a few hour's drive from there. Thus, I would not necessarily consider Iguazu Falls to be a priority; I did manage to get in some birding in that general area, on the Argentine side of the border, before I had to turn around and go home.

> Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

> It's fall shorebird season at the Cedar River delta.? Finally the lake level is being rapidly lowered so that the sand and gravel of the delta is above water level, and the fall migrant shorebirds are here.? A quick look found a Pectoral Sandpiper and a Lesser Yellowlegs so far today, plus lots of peep and a Killdeer.? Plus Green and Great Blue Heron, Pintails, Wigeons, Shovelers, Green-winged Teals, in addition to the usual Gadwalls and Mallards (males finally getting their green heads back).? There was a single juvenile Snow Goose here for a time yesterday.? And of course the fall Great Coot Horde is rapidly assembling - always fun to watch.? So come check it out.? Boring summer is finally over, though there still is one Caspian Tern left over, not yet gone south with its buddies.
