You should be able to sleep very well tonight. Hope you find the other birds. I'll be down in Madera tomorrow night for Swainson's, Northern Goshawk and hopefully the Nightjar. It will be an early morning out.

I need the White-eared (Berylline also but no word on that yet) and Buff-collared Nightjar, plus plenty of other species there I need to photograph.<br /><br />This was one sharp-looking bird for sure, and mercifully easy to find and observe. If the place were Glendale Recharge ponds size, it would've been a different story! I've used up my luck quotient for a while now, no doubt, so it's good I'm heading to a place next where the rare birds live year 'round and won't have to rely on chance : )Laurence Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14766876797454283812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791077723521794200.post-65054594793495490032014-05-10T12:04:45.339-07:002014-05-10T12:04:45.339-07:00You continue to set the bar high - super rare life...You continue to set the bar high - super rare life bird, no missed work, non-birding family is unaffected, and you got killer photos.
