Bird Report

Nancy and Ari Preuss were in Costa Rica and enjoyed seeing a
number of exotic birds including great wrens, toucans, black
blue footed, red beaked turkeys, hummingbirds, and
weaverbirds. The Chance's son Peter was in Asia where there
are no birds because they are considered food and are eaten
when caught. A Winter Wren has been sighted in this area.
It is smaller than the Carolina and winters in this zone
before migrating to Canada to nest.
