Overwhelmed in India
New Delhi Travel Blog› entry 15 of 41 › view all entries
Two words.... CULTURE SHOCK!!!
Yesterday, for the first time, I felt like I live in this perfect little bubble at home without realizing how hard other people have it in other countries.
I arrived at the airport in Delhi and had to wait in yet another long line to go through passport checks. Again, people kept trying to cut the line. I found it to be very disorganized. I was a bit worried the hotel taxi driver would not be waiting for me since I stood in line for well over an hour. I was also a bit worried to get in a car by myself with the cab driver at 4 am. I had no clue what I was getting myself into. So I was just a bit concerned. I kept trying to call Larry, but for some reason my cell phone would not dial out.
Anyway, after going through passport check and customs, I exited and looked for someone who would hopefully be holding a sign with my name or the hotel name on it.
Sure enough, there he was.... this young thin boy that looked completely harmless. He looked like he could be my niece's age. Seriously. I laughed internally just thinking, "I can't believe I was worried 10 minutes ago."
He was very friendly. He grabbed my bag and motioned for me to follow him. He spoke very little English. So I followed.
Leaving the airport took us about 20 minutes, because of course there was a long line of cars trying to exit, and everyone was cutting everyone else off.
Ok - please remember it was about 4 in the morning, so there were not many cars out on the road at this time.
Once my driver cleared the exit and got on major roads, he sped like you wouldn't believe. He drove so fast. I was hanging on to dear life. He honked the horn at every car he came across. He cut other cars off. He was like an insane maniac. I thought for sure I'd die before getting to the hotel.
I arrived at the hotel and the staff there was friendly. They got me checked in and I was on my way to the room.
My room was nice, small but comfortable. It's just right. I put all my stuff down, got some of my belongings sorted, brushed my teeth, spoke with Larry and went to bed at 6 am.
At about noon I woke up and unpacked. I ordered lunch from the hotel restaurant. I had vegetable pakoras, aloo mattar and roti. The waiter had recommended this. What a great recommendation. It was delicious. I had about half of it, and saved the other half for dinner.
I showered and dressed and got ready to go see some sights.
I walked around outside, after asking the hotel receptionist how to get to Connaught Place, until I found a tuk-tuk (a rickshaw).
The tuk-tuk was sooooo cheap! It was only 100 Rupees to go to Connaught Place (that's a little over 2 dollars and the ride itself was about 20 minutes). He also drove like a maniac, and used hand signals to turn. All the cars kept honking the horns at him. I felt like I was participating in some dangerous game of "frogger".
We arrived at Connaught Place and I walked around a bit. After only a few minutes a man who spoke perfect English came and started talking to me. I guess I had the word "tourist" written all over my forehead. I think next time I'll avoid wearing the African jewelry I was wearing. So he of course, followed me from there on everywhere I went, making recommendations as to where I should shop, what I should order at restaurants. I tried to be polite, but short with him. I went into a store, and when I exited the store he was still there. He asked me where I was from. I lied and told him "France". He asked if we could have coffee and I told him no and asked he leave me alone. He walked away.
About two minutes later, another man approached me. He also recommended sights for me to visit and asked if I wanted to grab a cup of coffee.
After walking away, I grabbed another tuk-tuk to take me to the Gold Bazaar. Wow! What beautiful crafts and saris, and scarves. I couldn't help myself so I spent about an hour there shopping. My tuk-tuk driver had told me he would wait outside for me. I knew he'd be outside because I had not yet paid him the 40 rupees (less than 1 dollar) he had charged me to take me from Connaught Place to the Gold Bazaar. After trying to negotiate the prices on everything (bartering here is easier than in South Africa), I was happy with my purchases. I came outside to find my tuk-tuk driver anxiously waiting for me.
He was so adorable, this little old man who was so excited to get a dollar from me. He drove me to the Laxmi Narayan Mandir temple. It was beautiful but humble.
It's sad because outside the temple, I saw so many young boys selling random stuff. Some of the boys were selling calendars with pictures of Gods on them, other boys were selling gum and candy and other boys were selling postcards. I didn't plan on buying anything, but when two young barefooted boys came and showed me what they were trying to sell and the prices (less than 2 dollars) I decided they could really use my business. I purchased two booklets of postcards and a calendar.
The streets themselves are in poor condition. Next to the temple I had planned on visiting, there was another small temple. The road leading up to it was all damaged. There were little boys that could not have been older than 5 years, playing with the concrete rocks from the ruined pavement.
I had to take my shoes off to go inside. Yuck! I was so grossed out because I hate dirtying my feet, but I wanted to see the temple, so I removed my shoes. It was quiet inside. I took some pictures, came outside and walked over to the Laxmi Narayan Mandir temple. This temple was large. I was stopped by a guard who told me I had to leave my camera and cell phone. I asked him if he was sure my stuff would be okay, and he smiled politely and said yes. He gave me a lock to put my stuff in a small locker.
I removed my shoes again (gross) and walked around the temple. It was sort of weird. I was so unwilling to remove my shoes. But once I was walking around barefooted, I felt liberated. Like I had left my inhibitions at the door. I just read all the signs, and appreciated the art, architecture and statues around me.
There were other Indians in there praying. One young girl kept touching a statue and in between touches would bow her head a bit and pray. I wondered what she was praying for.
I then exited and went to the small shop next door. It was about 5:30 pm at this point and I had wanted to get back to the hotel before dark. So I decided to find a tuk-tuk.
The tuk-tuk driver I found wasn't fully sure of where my hotel was. I had given him the address and I could tell he was trying to think, but he told me to get in anyway. I got in though I was certain he wasn't fully sure of where we were going. He drove for about an hour.
Along the way, I tried to take everything in. At the red lights, I saw young boys selling more random stuff. One boy had about 100 cell phone chargers (who sells cell phone charges in the middle of the busiest intersection?), and another boy had towels. All the stuff I saw people selling just seemed so bizarre.
Along some of the roads, I saw tents made out of what I think was tarps. These were the Indian versions of the South African squatter camps. I saw families in the tents. I saw children, barefooted and shirtless, playing on the sides of the roads. One boy approached our tuk-tuk and asked for money (I think that's what he was asking for). I saw poorly maintained roads, poorly maintained cars, tuk-tuks being held together with tape, dirty stray dogs EVERYWHERE (even at entrances to temples) and at the risk of sounding arrogant, I saw poverty all around me.
I was just sitting there in the tuk-tuk letting someone drive me around, while I took pictures and I just started thinking, "I have it made back home." Honestly, I was so humbled and felt so privileged to be able to be here and see all this. I couldn't believe how much poverty I was seeing. I was thinking of other places I've been to and I can honestly say, India looked worse off than any other place I've been to. It looked worse than Cuba and worse than Colombia to me.
I don't know if it's because I was in a touristy spot in Cuba, but at least in Cuba I didnt' see the tents on the sides of roads. There it seems like people have little but it's all equally distributed. In Colombia, you see children selling goods on the streets, but I think it is worse here in India.
Even the hotel in India where I am staying seems like luxury to me now compared to what I witnessed on the streets.
My tuk-tuk driver was a bit lost along the way. He stopped a few times to ask for directions. I didn't feel unsafe, even when he got out and left me in the tuk-tuk by myself. He came back each time, with a big smile on his face and I was certain each time that this time he knew where he was going. It took him well over an hour to get me back to the hotel.
He had initially told me the fee to bring me back would be 100 Rupees (just a bit over 2 dollars). But I think it took him longer than he realized and I was just so grateful he got me back to the hotel in one piece safely (though he dodged a ton of cars, bicycles, dogs, and children on the streets and was honked at the entire drive back) that I felt 200 Rupees was more appropriate. So I paid him double what he asked.
He smiled at me and went on his way.
I am glad this is not the first foreign country I visit. Anyone who comes here first, without visiting any other country, would be in for the greatest culture shock ever.
It's sad that people live in such poor conditions, but I am glad to have seen all this. I'm glad I witnessed all of this first hand. It really makes me realize how good I have it back home. I feel like I live like a queen back home. It makes me really appreciate all I have.

Jill & I left Cambridge Bus Station at 0700 and we arrived at Heathrow Terminal 4 at 0945. We departed Heathrow on BA 293 1230 to Miami. We travelled on a Boeing 747-400, an amazing experience. Plane called 'City Of Westminster'.
While I'm writing this page the pilot has informed us that we are travelling at 35,000 ft at a cool 575mph. After 40 minutes in the air we had cleared the west coast of Ireland and were well and truly USA bound.
Jill and I spent 2 hours on the flight deck with the captain and first officer. As we approached the first sight of American land the captain pointed out landmarks such as The Canadian border, Cape Cod and Long Island.
We arrived in Miami at 1730 local time. We got our hire car and off we went!
We left the airport at approx 1825
We joined the US1aka Florida Turnpike, and headed south towards Cutler Ridge to meet Bill & Susan Smith.
The following species were noted en-route.
We arrived at Cutler Ridge and met Bill and Susan Smith. We followed them to Cutler Ridge Boulevard, the only site on the American Mainland where you can see nesting CAVE SWALLOW. There were a few American Coots nearby too.
A few miles down the road we stopped and waited until dusk and heard several Common Nighthawks calling as they flew over. After a further 5 minutes another crippler was in the bag – courtesy of Bill's monster torch! EASTERN SCREECH OWL - A small, thick set, reddish owl about size of Little Owl but more squared head profile. Small ear tufts noted, bright yellow eyes and small pale bill. This fearless bird came to within 10 feet of us and gave excellent views in Bill's torchlight.
We stayed the night at a nearby Motel at Florida City. We were in need of plenty of food anda good nights sleep after our hectic first day! 6 lifers in our first hour in the field!
National 6 Motel, Florida City 0645 start
Eastern Everglades area – 0700 -1030
Amazing! Over 20 lifers in our first 2 hours birding in the Everglades.
EASTERN MEADOWLARK Sturnella magna
NORTHERN BOBWHITE Colinus virgianus
RED BELLIED WOODPECKER Melanerpes carolinus
AMERICAN REDSTART Setophaga ruticilla
RED-WINGED BLACKBIRD Agelaius phoenicus
COMMON YELLOWTHROAT Geothlyipis trichas
GRAY CATBIRD Dumetella carolinensis
Key Largo Hammocks Reserve 1040-1230.
18 Mile Stretch – Homestead
Bill & Sue's Garden, Homestead – Lunch stop!
Homestead – local area
While Bill had an afternoon nap Jill and I went for a walk around the local park with Susan. It was very productive with 5 more lifers!
Eastern Everglades area
We spent the afternoon checking the farmland and more importantly the fences around Homestead. After about 20 minutes we located a group of birds on a distant wire fence. We slowly drove along the side of the field and from the cover of a small group of trees set a scope up on the group – 3 WESTERN KINGBIRDS!
WESTERN KINGBIRD Tyrannus verticalis
As we watched the group feeding they were joined by another bird, which had flown in low from the fields. Unable to see it properly we moved along and YES, there it was, a SCISSOR TAILED FLYCATCHER!!!!!!!
SCISSOR TAILED FLYCATCHER Tyrannus fortifcatus
One of many 'target' birds Jill & I wanted to see on this holiday.
Also in this area:
Everglades National Park 1500-1900
We entered the National Park and started our journey south towards Flamingo, the southernmost point of the Everglades. This slow journey along this very scenic roadway produced some fantastic birds.
Eco Pond, Everglades NP
Flamingo area, Everglades NP
Anhinga Trail, Everglades NP
We arrived at this famous reserve at about 1900 and as we walked along the boardwalk Great Blue Herons stood motionless only a few feet away; 100's of Cattle Egrets were roosting in large bushes and trees while Common Nighthawks hawked overhead with their now familiar "kwik" call.
After about 200 yards our first sight of the mythical ANHINGA, well 10 to be precise, roosting with wings outstretched showing the very beautifully patterned upperwings and delicately barred tail, and what about that bill!
ANHINGA Anhinga anhinga
BROWN PELICAN Pelecanus occidentalis
BURROWING OWL Athene culicularia
As dusk was now falling we drove to a hardwood plantation where there were at least 20 Common Nighthawks flying around on our arrival. Then the moment we had been waiting for, that magical sound "chuck wills widow…. chuck wills widow", we could hear at least 2 ?'s flying and calling this amazing call. A good description indeed!
We started to head back to Homestead along the reserve track and at least 5 more
Chuck-wills Widow perched on the road illuminated by that monster of a torch again!
CHUCK WILLS WIDOW Caprimulgus carolinensis
We had a Mexican meal with Bill and Sue in the evening at Homestead. A superb day with 54 new birds seen!
Eastern Everglades area 0600- 0730
ROYAL TERN Sterna maxima
Key Largo
We had started our journey proper south through the Florida Keys. We kept seeing familiar roadside birds such as:
Then Jill saw something 'interesting' on a telegraph wire. I quickly managed to pull off the road and we set up a scope…..Oh Wow… BELTED KINGFISHER!
BELTED KINGFISHER Ceryle alcyon – Another of our target species.
Islamadora Key
Bahia Honda Key – State Recreational Park
As we walked from the car towards the beach it was fairly obvious that there had been a fall. Jill and I slowly worked our way along the heavily vegetated main path and saw some quality stuff:
Moments later while watching a Palm Warbler, a warbler landed on the beach and I can only describe the next 30 seconds as incredible. My hands were shaking, it was such a crippler and what's more I knew exactly what it was – a stunning adult
A real crippler of the highest degree. Pale grey upperparts, black crown, wings and tail, 2 broad white wing-bars, thick black flank streaking on white underparts, broad white supercilium, triangular black facial patch and the brightest yellow throat you've ever seen!
? YELLOW THROATED WARBLER Dendroica dominica
As Jill had popped off to the ladies I ran to fetch her but when we returned to the area everything had gone; the Palm Warblers, Indigo Buntings, the YT Warbler had all moved on – I couldn't believe it!
As we walked a little further another surprise was waiting for us. A Chimney Swift was moving along the beach – we watched it for several minutes whizzing back and forth before it too eventually moved off purposefully north – This was visible migration, and we were witness to it!
After walking another 100 yards we found a feeding flock of waders and other waterbirds. We carefully checked through them and the following species were noted.
We spent 2 hours here and then headed down to Key West, where we arrived at 1800. We had been advised to check the area between Sunshine Drive and White Street as earlier there had been a fall. Taking our evening meal on the hoof we checked the local area and the results were stunning!
ORCHARD ORIOLE Icterus spurius
?NORTHERN PARULA Parula americana
RUBY THROATED HUMMINGBIRD Well what can you say? Trying to keep your bins on a hummer is hard work but immense fun and eventually we enjoyed close up views when it settled in a nearby fruit tree. The description is self-explanatory!
RUBY THROATED HUMMINGBIRD Archilochus colubris
Another of our real target species under the belt!
Junior College Boulevard
We checked the area around the college but there was no sign of any Antillean Nighthawks. We may have been too early by about a week!
Returning to the car I flushed a LBJ from waste ground nearby. I watched it land and scurry away, Jill & I slowly tracked it down and the following description was taken
A small chunky passerine, and very likely an American sparrow. Mainly buff breast and underparts, flat head, small thin bill for a sparrow. Obvious pale median crown stripe with open-faced appearance together with clear pale eye-ring. Upperparts heavily streaked. Relatively short tail noted. Pale pink legs.
We flicked through the National Geographic and only one species of sparrow possessed all the above features. It was a GRASSHOPPER SPARROW and after a few minutes it flew off towards the college. Excellent!
GRASSHOPPER SPARROW Ammodramus savannarum
As we had an early start the following morning we hit the sack in the Youth Hostel in Key West. We were shattered, this our 3rd day of the holiday had bought the species total to 101 with 77 lifers for me, and a few more for Jill!
We had to leave Key West at 0800 the next morning to head for the Dry Tortugas!
Journey on Catamaran from Key West to Fort Jefferson
SOOTY TERN Sterna fuscata
BROWN NODDY Anouos stolidus
? MAGNIFICENT FRIGATEBIRD Fregata magnificens
Our journey also included fantastic views of flying fish. A memorable experience!
Fort Jefferson, Dry Tortugas National Park
This aerial photograph shows just how isolated the Dry Tortugas are. They are over 75 miles west of Key West in the Mexican Gulf.
As we waited for the skipper to moor the catamaran I scanned the nearest Sea Grape tree and it was dripping with birds! The first was an immaculate adult
? PROTHONATORY WARBLER, nearby 2 ? American Redstarts flashed their brilliant red and black tails, a crippling ? Black and White Warbler crept about. Also in this tree 5 Ruby throated Hummingbirds and a dapper ? HOODED WARBLER.
Hang on – we haven't even got onto the island yet!
? PROTHONATORY WARBLER Protonotaria citrea
? HOODED WARBLER Wilsonia citrina
When we eventually moored we walked along the jetty towards the fort, Sooty Terns flew overhead uttering their piercing "wacky-wack" calls, Magnificent Frigatebirds drifted over with no effort whatsoever and I was mesmerised by the fact the tree in front of me was alive with birds!
Suddenly there was a flash of blue on the jetty handrail – there, only 5 feet away was a stunning adult ? CERULEAN WARBLER - What a crippler!
? CERULEAN WARBLER Dendroica cerulea
Nearby, Jill spotted another crippler, a ? BLACK THROATED GREEN WARBLER
? BLACK THROATED GREEN WARBLER Dendroica virens
Just when we thought it couldn't possibly get any better we arrived at the next Sea Grape tree, which held the following:
SCARLET TANAGER Piranga olivacea
SUMMER TANAGER Piranga rubra
We walked into the fort and at a 'drip' set up by local photographers there was a lot of excitement; we went over to investigate and a SWAINSON'S WARBLER had just been found. Not the most colourful but one of the rarest birds on the island, and great to watch as it crept about in the leaf litter at point blank range
SWAINSON'S WARBLER Limnothylpis swainsonii
Several other species joined the Swainson's at the 'drip', these included:
After a short break for a drink we headed on into the fort. The Sea Grape trees inside the fort were teeming with birds!
Here we watched the following at point blank range:
ROSE BREASTED GROSBEAK Phoeticus ludovanicus
BLACKPOLL WARBLER Dendroica striata
The next bird was a stunning ? BLUE-WINGED WARBLER which showed for 5 minutes and then vanished.
? BLUE-WINGED WARBLER Vermivora pinus
The next few minutes produced a flurry of activity, which produced several more superb new species for us.
?BLUE GROSBEAK Guiraca caerulea
YELLOW-BILLED CUCKOO Coccyzus americana
?TENNESSEE WARBLER Vermivora peregrina
YELLOW WARBLER Dendroica petechia
In the shade of the vast fort walls a group of 4 WOOD THRUSH fed furiously and gave superb views. They were very soon joined by a real crippler!
WOOD THRUSH Hylocichla mustelina
OVENBIRD Seirus auricapillus
Common in the states they may be but our first views of this plump little warbler were simply unforgettable. The golden centred crown contrasts with the broad black crown stripes, white underparts heavily streaked with black, bold white eye-ring and bubblegum pink legs noted. Excellent!
Nearby another small group of birds were feeding out in the open, these included:
VEERY Catharus fuscescens
This is a species which is high on the wish list of many a British Twitcher. The first for Britain was in 1970 and the second was on Lundy in 1987 and there hasn't been one since!
LOUISIANA WATERTHRUSH Seiurus motacilla
Having enjoyed excellent views of these ground feeding species we moved on to another set of trees and bushes. On our arrival a flash of blue caught my eye and seemed worthy of further investigation. It was indeed!
?BLACK-THROATED BLUE WARBLER Dendroica caerulescens
What a stunning bird, with black face and upper flanks and ink-blue upperparts and rear flanks. All this contrasting with the otherwise wholly white underparts. We watched it as it darted round the bush picking off insects.
At a nearby drinking fountain another stunning bird was busying itself at point blank range – a personal favourite of mine, the superb Black and White Warbler.
?BLACK AND WHITE WARBLER Mniotilta varia
Hanging from a nearby Sea Grape tree was another brightly coloured warbler, the Cape May Warbler. We had seen several of these earlier in the trip but this individual gave astounding views at point blank range.
CAPE MAY WARBLER Dendroica tigrina
As we left the fort a group of birds landed nearby. Most were clearly Indigo Buntings
But there was a species with them which was very special indeed, DICKCISSEL
?DICKCISSEL Spiza Americana
To our annoyance the Dickcissel decided not to hang around and flew off after 2 minutes. The views although brief were still excellent.
We moved on to the outside of the fort where there were still birds arriving all around us, they included:
As we neared another little Gully a flash of yellow caught my eye. I thought it was just going to be a Palm Warbler or maybe a Prairie Warbler. NO not either of these!
It was a stunning bird and one I had seen in Britain in February 1989. A corking adult
? Golden-winged Warbler. Surely one of the best of all the wood warblers.
GOLDEN-WINGED WARBLER Vermivora chrysoptera
The warbler soon flew out of the gully and onto the beach to feed on the sandhoppers. It was soon joined by an adult Spotted Sandpiper in full summer plumage, and the Gray-cheeked Thrush and bizarrely the three fed together at a few yards range.
SPOTTED SANDPIPER Actitis macularia
GRAY CHEEKED THRUSH Catharus minimus
With only 40 minutes left on the island we decided to have a sit down and relax as the past 3 hours had been mind-blowing and it produced our second sparrow of the trip – a rather confiding SAVANNAH SPARROW
SAVANNAH SPARROW Passerculus sandwichensis
And our time on the island wasn't over yet!
One of the birds of the trip had just been found, a WORM-EATING WARBLER!
WORM-EATING WARBLER Helmitheros vermivorus
What a stonker! Large billed with broad black and yellow crown stripes. The many photographs and illustrations of this bird just do not do it justice. It has to be seen to be believed. An incredible bird on an incredible day!
Back on the beach another very showy Palm Warbler had been joined by 2 more Spotted Sandpipers, another Gray cheeked Thrush and 5 EASTERN KINGBIRDS!
EASTERN KINGBIRD Tyrannus tyrannus
Our last 10 minutes was spent watching the ? Golden-winged Warbler and a very obliging Common Nighthawk perched out in the open as well as:
We missed another lifer, a Kentucky Warbler by a few seconds but we had to tear ourselves away.
?INDIGO BUNTING Passerina cyanea
COMMON NIGHTHAWK Chordeiles minor
Jill summed today up well. She described it like being in a sweetshop and not knowing which way to turn next. In this incredible 4-hour period we had seen 50 species including 22 warblers. We both said we would come again!!!
On the return journey we went via Hospital Key where another Florida speciality is found. The rare MASKED BOOBY has 3-5 pairs here and we obtained excellent views as we cruised past. Other highlights of the return journey included a single Leatherback Turtle as well as numerous Sooty Terns, Brown Noddies and of course flying fish.
We had enjoyed a fantastic day and one I haven't beaten since for sheer enjoyment.
We got incredibly sunburnt today, the blue sea, the blue sky and 95ºc temperatures proving a very powerful combination.
Once back on dry land we headed back north to Florida City as we were meeting Bill and Sue for another day's birding.
Card Point, Dade County
AMERICAN WHITE PELICAN Pelecanus erythrorhrynchos
CLAPPER RAIL Rallus longirostris
Key Largo Botanical State Preserve
The main reason we had come to this site was to see the ultra elusive Mangrove Cuckoo, a species many birders fail to see when visiting the area. Bill had come prepared with a recording of the call – a very crow like cawing but after 20 minutes the cuckoos were having none of it.
Bill decided to give it one last blast on the tape before moving onto another site and Bingo! A stonking MANGROVE CUCKOO perched out in the open for 2 minutes!
MANGROVE CUCKOO Coccyzus minor
We headed off to Bill and Sue's for a well-earned lunch break. We sat in their garden and noted the now familiar 'backyard' birds:
Just as we were walking indoors Bill pointed to his bird feeders and there right in front of us was a beautifully multicoloured Bird. ?PAINTED BUNTING
?PAINTED BUNTING Passerina ciris
We watched the bunting feeding with a Blue Jay, which is itself pretty superb as shown below.
BLUE JAY Cyanocitta cristata
We spent the afternoon driving around the open dry fields and headed out towards Miami. 2 hours in this area produced 3 more lifers and a superb mammal tick!
Our first new bird of the afternoon was a skulking ? RUFOUS SIDED TOWHEE, which eventually gave itself up and showed out in the open for several minutes.
? RUFOUS SIDED TOWHEE Pipilo erythropthalmus
As we sat watching the Towhee we were surprised to see a large mammal bounding along one of the field edges, imagine our total amazement when Bill announced it was a BOBCAT! Unfortunately it soon vanished but we were amazed to have seen our first 'big cat' ever. A very special moment.
Our next new bird was something, which looked very familiar – NORTHERN HARRIER, recently split from Hen Harrier it is separated by much longer legs and very rufous colouration in juvenile plumage. This bird was an immature or adult ?.
NORTHERN HARRIER Circus hundsonius
The main reason Bill had decided to spend time in this very wild area was to see a real Florida speciality. The one species that every visiting birder wants to see – and after another 20 minutes searching we were not to be disappointed!
SWALLOW-TAILED KITE Elanoides forficatus
What a superb bird! Graceful, elegant and absolutely stunning with dark grey upperparts, white underparts and underwing coverts contrasting with the wholly black tail and flight feathers. Fantastic!!!
Miami area
We spent the afternoon searching the area south of Miami where we managed to chalk up 6 more new birds.
GREAT HORNED OWL Bubo virginianus
BLUE-HEADED VIREO Vireo solitarius
FISH CROW Corvus ossifragus
Time spent in the suburbs of Miami also produced several exotic species, which appear to be thriving. These are:
Our final stop in this area was spent looking for the rare Spot-breasted Oriole but we couldn't find any. Ample compensation was found with the very smart and noisy bird, the RED WHISKERED BULBUL. No picture available.
Other species seen here included:
Today was rounded off with an authentic Southern style Bar B Q at Shorties in Miami. A good end to another superb day.
Spanish River Park, Boca Raton
? NORTHERN CARDINAL Cardinalis cardinalis
Smith Sundy Road
We arrived at an area, shown to us on a map by Bill. He was fairly confident we could pick up 2 more species here. The first was RED-TAILED HAWK a fairly common raptor in the area; this was seen within a few minutes with 3 adults in the air together. However the second was a local rarity with only a few breeding pairs in Florida…
RED-TAILED HAWK Buteo jamaicensis
Sure enough after scanning across the open weedy fields, I located a perched adult male WHITE-TAILED KITE. One of the contenders for bird of the trip.
WHITE-TAILED KITE Elanus caerulescens
Loxahatchee State Refuge
LIMPKIN Aramus guarauna
LEAST BITTERN Ixobrychus exilis
This evening we had excellent views of American Alligator. But not too close!
Loxahatchee State Preserve
SOLITARY SANDPIPER Tringa solitaria
Jill and I followed a boardwalk into a damp area of coniferous forest. The next bird we saw was fantastic – A PILEATED WOODPECKER!
PILEATED WOODPECKER Dyocopus pileatus
We watched the woodpecker for about 10 minutes. We then headed towards another part of the marsh. This produced the following species:
AMERICAN PURPLE GALLINULE Porphyrula martinica
Savannah's State Preserve
PINE WARBLER Dendroica pinus
SANDHILL CRANE Grus canadensis
DOWNY WOODPECKER Picoides pubescens
Jack Island State Recreational Park – North of Fort Pierce
This was a good opportunity to study Laughing Gulls in full summer plumage. A plumage I have not seen in Britain.
Adult-summer LAUGHING GULL Larus atricilla
Joe Overstreet Road
Adult BALD EAGLE Haliaeetus leucocephalos
Also here:
CRESTED CARACARA Polyborus plancus
WILD TURKEY Meleagris gallopavo
EASTERN BLUEBIRD Sialia sialis
Lake Kissimmee
WHOOPING CRANE Grus americana
?BOBOLINK Dolychonix oryzivorous
Three Lakes Management area
Only one target species here. The rare and endangered Red-cockaded Woodpecker. As we had been up early we had a 20-minute nap in the car before we ventured out into the hot and dry forest. When we woke up there was a tapping sound nearby, imagine our surprise when it revealed itself!
RED COCKADED WOODPECKER Picoides borealis – IN THE BAG!!!
Yeehaw Junction SR 441
Avon Park USAF Base area
FLORIDA SCRUB JAY1 very smart bird. Endemic to Florida.
FLORIDA SCRUB JAY Aphelocoma caerulescens
Lake Wales Ridge State Forest
Like the previous site it was very hot and dry here but it produced another 4 lifers as well as lots of quality padders:
HAIRY WOODPECKER Picoides villosus
BLUE-GRAY GNATCATCHER Polioptila caerulea
CAROLINA WREN Thryothorus ludovicianus
TUFTED TITMOUSE Parus bicolour
Today was an excellent day although very warm with temperatures hovering around 85oc all day. It ended with very close views of an Armadillo on the forest floor.
We have chalked up another 12 lifers today. Our running total is now 182 of which 136 have been new for me.
Palmdale area
SHORT-TAILED HAWK Buteo brachyurus
Archbold Biological Station
Our main reason for coming here was to see the colourful but somewhat elusive Red-headed Woodpecker. After about an hour we found a huge area of dead trees, which looked perfect for Woodpeckers. But was it?
Yes, it was and we enjoyed excellent scope views of 2 birds chasing each other around the trees. Presumably a pair, they showed well for 10 minutes.
Also here:
Rainey Slough
We watched the Cooper's Hawk for a while then our attentions were drawn to another accipiter mobbing a Black Vulture.
Surely this was a smaller bird than Cooper's with a shorter squared tail it also lacked the contrast between the crown and upperparts shown by Cooper's.
It was a SHARP-SHINNED HAWK – The North American equivalent of our Sparrowhawk. Both accipiters at the same site!
SHARP-SHINNED HAWK Accipiter striatus
We left the area after about 20 minutes and headed westwards. Our next stop was on the coast at Fort Myers. A long drive but one we were hoping would bring us many new species.
Espero Beach, Fort Myers
South Fort Myers Beach
Sanibel Island
I was very pleased with this one. The yellow iris, brownish mantle, thicker squared bill profile and pale legs all firm identification features. Another of our 'target' species.
JN Ding-Darling Wildlife Refuge
We had an early breakfast at 0700. We left Fort Myers at 0730 and drove the 2 hours to our last official Nature Reserve of the trip.
Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary
WOOD STORK Mycteria americana
On our journey across to Miami an OTTER ran across the road and was a lifer for us both. Fantastic views of up to 8 SNAIL KITES – A very rare bird indeed!
Miami Airport area
Well, this fantastic trip had to come to an end and we reluctantly boarded the Jumbo that would take us back to Heathrow, and back to normality with a big bump!
Jill and I travelled over 1300 miles in 11 days. We saw 201 species of bird. Of which 144 were new for me and 157 were new for Jill.

Most likely more time with War in the West, Offworld Trading Company, and Diablo 3. I finished the Operation Husky scenario last weekend in WITW and like to tackle the intro to air ops scenario, and read through the players handbook. I'm kind of exhausted on D3, so probably done for the season.
I'm predicting Nioh... what a great game!
Antihero , Dark Souls 3, and some Offworld Trading Company.
I'm not really an RTS guy, but Halo Wars 2 and Offworld Trading Company are great and I'll dive into them this weekend. Also, I'll be racing in Project Cars and Forza Horizon 3, and, finally, doing some survival co-op in The Division with a friend.
For Honor
I'm trying out Deathtrap to see if it's worth playing. So far I'm mixed with it. Even though I have liked some tower defense / action hybrid games, I'm not sure this is going to be one of them.
I need to get back into Hitman after playing the first 2 maps.
I'm torn on what else I'll try and play more of. I haven't really dug into a strategy game in a little bit. There are a bunch of games that I either haven't played, or I've played but haven't done all of the scenarios that I really need to get back into.
Shadow Tactics: played a littleConquest of Elysium 4: played #3 and thought it was OKStardew Valley: haven't played at allProject Highrise: haven't palyed at allChaos Reborn : played someStars In Shadow: played someThe Sorcerer King Rivals: Thought that the pre Rivals version was only OKMaster of Orion (original): I've only played it a littleOffworld Trading Company: pretty darn good, played some scenarios and almost 1 campaignStar Ruler 2: haven't played since the expansion, only played pre expansion a littleBig Pharma: played a bunch of the scenarios but still a lot more to do. Haven't palyed teh expansion
... and there's more
Uncharted 4. I'm about 45% in. Hope to knock out the rest of it.
Metal Gear 5 on the PS4.
One Deck Dungeon.
Forge Wars.
I'd say give this a go, it's a nicely different pace especially if you're not overly familiar with Rune Factory type games.
Mostly I'll be assembling e-books with Sigil. I may play around with Cortex Command some, or fly the DCS Viggen a bit, or do some random fun stuff in perennial favorite Guild Wars 2.
I'm getting back to Star Trek Online since the Agrnts of Yesterday content was released to consoles. Also probably keep chasing that Liberty City Minute achievement in GTA4. Because I'm weird that way.
GoG is selling Rebel Galaxy for ~$7, and I hopped into it for the first time. What a nice love letter to AC:Black Flag and Privateer it is :)
Eternal grinding gold for the expansion. Conan Exiles maybe even on the Qt3 server. ESO as usual.
I've almost tried it our several times, but I'm always put off my the look of the game. I'm just about done with Deathtrap, so I'll try to take your advise and REALLY try out Stardew Valley.
I was going to play Fairy Fencer F: Advent Dark Force, but a persistent crash bug kept me from making any progress in a half hour of attempted play earlier in the week. I threw a pile of diagnostic info at IFI and time will tell if they sort it out.
In the meantime, the creative bug has got me and I've started designing a Vietnam-themed TIE Fighter campaign. A proxy war is a great excuse for using obsolete equipment, so actually using unshielded fighters can be made viable again. Still trying to get the nerve-wracking feeling nailed down without being too difficult, but the first mission (based loosely on Operation Flaming Dart) is coming along well.
I have so many new games to play, yet I ended up playing GTA IV on the XB1. Loving it and wondering why I didn't play it before.
Rebel Galaxy, as mentioned above.
Fired up Project Zomboid for the first time in many months, to see how this now long-in-the-tooth "early access" title was doing. Played long enough to realize that I was just playing Zombie The Sims (96 different kinds of food you can make...but like 3 gun types) and uninstalled again.
I also ended up playing GTA IV. I'm loving it. Having to hurry through it for the achievement to finish it under 30 hours does change my behavior though. I usually take a cab to the mission any time I can.
One interesting side effect of that is that I still haven't stolen a car within the game. I've used Roman's cab, and I've used Dimitri's car, and Little Jacob's car, and I've used cabs, and I've used Roman's cabs as a taxi. But no Grand Theft Auto has been committed yet by me within the game yet, which has to be some kind of record. I wonder if I can get through the whole game like this?
80% of my (very limited) gaming time this weekend was used playing Atelier Sophie. It's funny how much that game "captured" me. It's so charming and upbeat... I'm kind of mesmerized by it. :)
The rest of the time went to Tales of Berseria and a little bit to Curse of Yendor. And that's pretty much it.

How many of us feel like some days we are just "teaching to the test"?
Everybody does feel like this at some point. I know I have.
I've felt guilty because it goes against everything I believe a teacher should be. Education is more than just passing a test right? I know you would all agree.
At TLP last week we were discussing what factors influence a student's ability to achieve at school. We looked at some research from John Hattie, University of Auckland. Hattie determined that 50% of a student's ability to achieve is dependent upon their own genetic make-up. If they're bright they're naturally going to learn more than someone who is less so.
The next most significant influence on student's achievement was, in fact, the teacher. A whopping 30%. Other variances, which I know would be extremely influential in some of the school's we teach at, included home life, the actual school itself, principals and student peers.
At this point I felt all warm and fuzzy. I often forget, amidst the movement and energy of the classroom, the piles of marking, the meetings, the paperwork and the phone calls why I am doing all of this. Sometimes I think we forget how hugely important we are to children and their learning.
30% of a child's learning is dependent on me.
In reading that, I felt important again. I feel like I have some reason or purpose for doing this job. I think through the fast paced nature of our lives these days it is something we can often forget. Plus we're often so hell bent on being negative all the time we forget to give ourselves a little credit. I have had countless moments where I've felt like throwing in the towel and just thinking, why, why, why?! To have an oppportunity to stop and think about what qualities I have and the qualities I use each day to make a difference is really nice.
Here is my list of what I think makes a quality teacher:
1. Having a good relationship with students. Being approachable. Knowing who they are as people.
2. Supporting students learning. Rewarding students, strategising and modifying lessons for their specific needs. Setting goals.
3. Knowledge.
4. Enthusiasm, confidence, motivation, determination, vision.
5. An interest in lifelong learning. You don't know everything. You can be better.
6. Sense of Humour.
7. Organised.
Some of the comments that were made by others were that sometimes your whole program can go out the window simply because someone says something or something happens in the classroom that changes the tangent and that this is not necessarily a bad thing. In one teacher's classroom, a cricket came into the room and all her little primary schooler's were fascinated by it. They started Googling it and looking at it on the interactive whiteboard and discussing it. What they were meant to do was writing but this small detour became just as valuable as preparing for the upcoming NAPLAN tests. They used it as the basis for their writing! It's not how much you teach but what you teach and the way you teach it.
In saying this however, there are a range of teachers at any school at any one time. Teaching and schools do not belong in a vacuum. They are constantly evolving and changing in new and interesting ways. There is often a dynamic mix between new and experienced staff. A variety of ages, attitudes, ideas and expectations. As we enter a time where many teacher's are retiring, the experience is being lost and that can be invaluable in an environment full of young inexperienced teachers.
We all learn from our mistakes. So, how can we prepare our teacher's so that in the event of retirements we can ensure quality teaching and leadership will continue? How do we maintain quality teaching? Do we put in professional learning plans? Schedule reflective discussion sessions? Set up a mentor/mentee program between teachers within the school? How will that differ for the graduate teacher through to the professional accomplished?

DETROIT (AP) -- Former Detroit Red Wings star Sergei Fedorov says a man entrusted to manage his money during the past 11 years swindled him out of $43 million.
In a lawsuit filed Thursday in Wayne County Circuit Court, Fedorov says Joseph Zada of Grosse Pointe Shores also broke a promise to repay him $60 million by April 20.
The suit says Zada "acting in concert with others" and "intentionally lied to Fedorov" whenever he asked about the money.
There was no answer Thursday at a number listed for Zada in Grosse Pointe Shores.
Fedorov, the 1994 NHL MVP and three-time Stanley Cup winner with the Red Wings, has signed a two-year contract with a Russian club of the Kontinental Hockey League. He has also played for Anaheim, Columbus and Washington.

Find yourself looking for something to do while in town?
You are in the right location. No matter the night, you are bound to find some entertainment within steps of the hotel.
One of the last surviving theater venues on Broadway, the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall keeps the tradition of hosting prolific performances alive in this historic part of Portland.
The building that now houses what locals lovingly call "The Schnitz" was originally the Portland Publix Theatre, built in 1928, and later renamed the Paramount Theatre.
The Concert Hall plays host to a variety of presentations including classical, jazz, pop, rock, folk and gospel music, dance, theatre, travel films, conferences, and weddings.
Located inside of the Antoinette Hatfield Hall and across from The Schnitz, this intimate 880-seat theater was designed to emulate the Edwardian-style theaters of Europe.
It is one of the most intimate theatrical experiences you'll ever encounter - no seat is farther than 65 feet from the stage.
Dedicated to Excellence in Dance, White Bird is committed to bringing the best Portland-based, regional, national, and international dance companies to Portland, Oregon and to fostering the growth of dance in the region through presenting established and emerging companies and choreographers, commissioning and co-commissioning new works.
Any evening at the historic Crystal Ballroom is literally a multi-tiered experience.
The Crystal, Lola's, Ringlers and the Annex are delighted to host a steady stream of unbeatable shows.
The Star Theater, formerly known as Princess Theatre and several other names, is a historic former silent film theater as well as a burlesque theater and an adult movie theater. It was renovated and reopened as a concert and entertaiment venue in 2011.
Roseland Theater features a large stage, arena-level production, and superb acoustics and sightlines. Along with concerts it has been the site of live recordings by Little Feat, Foghat, Prince, and Bob Weir & Ratdog to name a few.
Portland Center Stage inspires our community by bringing stories to life in unexpected ways. Founded in 1988, PCS is the city's leading professional theater and one of the top 20 largest regional theater companies in the U.S. PCS attracts more than 150,000 theatergoers annually with its blend of classical, contemporary and premiere works, along with its summer playwrights festival, JAW.
Regal Cinemas Fox Tower Stadium 10
Located across from the hotel this theater complex with multiple screens features new release indie films, plush seating & concession stand.
