Description

*VABU x BLGR hybrid. Initially heard this bird singing a typical vabu song and given Francis hadn’t yet seen a male vabu we pursued the bird only to find it wasn’t just a vabu! I studied the bird visually before it started giving further vocalizations and I noted an overall bright blue passerina-sized bunting with a black mask, a thin pale crescent below the eye, rusty edging to the black tertials and secondaries, and a paler blue rump. When the bird was facing us it gave off a blgr-like structure though it was obviously not blgr-sized. Upon sticking with the bird longer I studied it closely and noted that it was giving call notes of both vabu and blgr and flight calls more similar to blgr. Bird was being territorial and chasing nearby off around this pin: (31.7835377, -110.8880417).

Date is approximate. 3 individuals (2 males & 1 female) seen sometime in April, 1987. My mother and father (@dmpeterson ) were living in Monteverde in the spring of 1987, staying with the Gavin family. I have been digitizing their old slides, and thought these ones were significant, so I uploaded them. The date and location are approximate, based on their best recollection.

Please help me identify this animal I believe to be a cougar. Pictures were caught in front of my house on my security camera at 3:39 am. I have video as well (see link below). I uploaded some prints of tracks in my yard but I am not an expert so I don't know if these are from this or another animal. These are only a couple of the pictures of tracks taken. I believe he was in my backyard as well as the front based on potential tracks as well as my dog's reaction to scents in the back yard in the morning. It looked like he walked down the driveway on hard ice but these prints could belong to him.

I found this Southern Flying Squirrel in the park across from my work this afternoon. I was astonished, since I had only seen flying squirrels twice before, and I certainly didn't expect to find one on the ground at 3 in the afternoon. And certainly not in a fairly urban park. At first it was wary, but then was fearless. I suspect it may have been sick or starving or both. It ate a tent caterpillar while I watched and foraged through debris piles, picking out various leaves and sticks. Amazing!
