A return to more
familiar ground and more signs of spring migration were evident this morning.
Grey-breasted Martin was hawking insects over the reed-beds on the lagoon. The
lagoon edges are beginning to dry up but there is still plenty of suitable
habitat for passing migrants, who can take a well earned rest and feed before
continuing their journeys.
A Bran Colored
Flycatcher was spied perched on the edge of the Atlantic Forest which borders
the Lagoon. This species was the bird of the morning and a new bird for my
Laguna Blanca life list!
A Plumbeous Kite was
also observed in flight and resting in a tree in the SE area of the lagoon. The
roufous patches on the primaries distinguishes this species from the
Mississippi Kite which is seen at LB but usual passes through only using the
lagoon as a navigational point!
