But I had developed a bit of a cold due to the dry February cold and nearly killed myself trying to suppress coughs because we of course were trying to stay as quiet as we possibly could from our blind. The more you try to suppress ....<br /><br />So anyway, I'm glad your cough was not one that kept you from birding and that you saw such wonderful birds (and as I always tell you 'so many'.) Happy to read some good environmental news too. Can you send any of that over here?

It would be a singularly amazing experience. I have, however, seen Greater Prairie Chickens, Greater Sage Grouse and Gunnison Grouse lekking in North America, and Cock-of-the-Rock and various Manakin species in Central and South America, so I guess that's not too bad!

The Corn Bunting is pretty, reminds me of a sparrow seen here. Great photos, happy birding. Thank you so much for linking up your post!
