		<description><![CDATA[Today I leave for the Davis Mountains to continue my second (and last) field season of thesis research. Last year my adviser was gracious and allowed me the use of his vehicle. This year however, he wasn&#8217;t feeling so altruistic. And who can blame him? I had a whole year to arrange for another vehicle.

		<description><![CDATA[A new species of hummingbird has just been discovered in the cloud forests of southwestern Colombia. No surprise there. At roughly 1,800 species of birds, Colombia is second to no other country in the total species of birds that it has. Equator + Mountains = ginormous amounts of speciation in lots of different habitat types. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I came across a three week old story in the Onion that takes aim at birders, particularly the Sibley Guide. It&#8217;s an absolute riot!
Here&#8217;s a brief taste, but if you know anything about birding, you&#8217;ve got to read the rest of the article.

I don&#8217;t understand it. How could it have happened a third time? They&#8217;ve [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Another blogger has used (after getting my permission of course) my recent picture of Burrowing Owls that I put up recently.
Says one of the commenters on the post,

Many thanks for the burrowing-owl photo. It brightened my Monday considerably.


It&#8217;s nice to see the shot getting wider exposure.

They&#8217;re heavy on Sandhill Cranes in flight. Why? Because literally tens of thousands of these birds migrate through the San Luis Valley and use it as a staging area on their way back [...]]]></description>

It was fun, and I managed to get a number of pictures of birds (and the ever present summer dragonflies of course).

And if you&#8217;ve never seen the Ben Cruachan Blog before, you should bookmark or RSS it. Getting a dose of bird pictures from down under is fun.
