Peru Photo Workshop Bird List

2024-11-24 - 1:25 p.m.

Whoa. Totally intimidated by the number of photos I have to cull, sort, and develop from my workshop to Peru. However, no reason I can't toss up the bird list, especially since I added a number of life species during my studies.

NOTE: SOME BIRDS MAY STILL BE MISSING FROM THIS LIST. I'M CORRECTING IT AS I REVIEW MY PHOTOS AND WILL REMOVE THIS NOTE WHEN I FINALLY HAVE THEM ALL LISTED.

My 41 new life birds are in bold. This list includes a few life birds that I picked up in Lima before the official beginning of the trip. I also added a few species not on the official list that seem to be overlooked, mainly for being too obvious to be worth noting? (Turkey Vulture, Great Egret, Snowy Egret clearly fall into that category. Not sure if everybody else really was napping when we drove past the large flock of Black-necked Stilts in one of the flooded fields. No one else saw the Roadside Hawk from the front of the van when we startled it into flight.)
