From Chito Limchiu
A once in a lifetime event… Seeing this rare migrant after a storm in Cavite. This was one of the bird moments I will not forget…
Eurasian Hoopoe, rare accidental migrant
It looks like these guys have even showed up in Alaska back in 1975. That’s really far off course!
I think I just want all the animals. Well, maybe not the chiggers… 😜
There are plenty that would feel the same way about my everyday animals in other parts of the world, I’m sure.
I do miss the lightning bugs greatly. I used to spend nights running around the yard catching them, and now I am happy to see any. Monarchs had been the same, but this year and last I’ve seen a decent number again.
Having started working hands-on with my local wildlife has also greatly increased both my understanding of how many more species we have than I was aware and how complex the lives of or very common species actually are.
