		<description><![CDATA[Fifteen days after arriving at Tiputini, I noticed a mosquito bite on my back that hadn’t seemed to heal right. Instead of disappearing, the lump was getting bigger, and, well, something inside it seemed alive. “Guys,” I said that evening at the dinner table, “I think I have a bot fly.” I knew by heart [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At 1:30 this afternoon, near the end of an eight-hour block of tracking Wedge-billed Woodcreepers through the jungle, I noticed a flock of agitated antshrikes mobbing something in a tree just off the transect I was working on. Thinking that they might have found a roosting raptor, I plunged into the undergrowth to see what [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On my first full day off at Tiputini, I decided to climb the canopy tower at sunrise. A set of rickety metal scaffolding ascends to a platform in the fork of a huge ceiba tree which towers over the surrounding jungle, 130 feet above the ground – it’s a great spot for canopy birds and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As I write this, my life list stands at 1,999 species. It’s likely that I’ll hit 2,000 this very afternoon, since, at Tiputini, practically anything is possible. What bird will it be? I arrived on Friday after spending 24 hours in international airports and eight hours on a small plane, a bus, a boat, another [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At Portland&#8217;s Wild Arts festival yesterday, I shared a small table with Robert Pyle, that internationally known butterfly expert, conservationist, and author. We spent almost five hours signing books; I sat behind a glossy stack of Among Penguins, while Bob&#8217;s 15 or 20 titles formed an impressive mountain covering his side of the desk.

If they hold up a giant sign that says LOUDER, lean in to the microphone. They&#8217;re brutal.&#8221; I was about to give my penguin slideshow [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My dad and I are prowling the sagebrush country of southeast Oregon this week, birding and photographing stuff. Our carmometer registered 17 F this morning, typical early winter weather at Malheur, and most birds have migrated south (no wonder birders never come here in November). But the high desert is beautiful this time of year&#8230; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Half an hour ago, I watched closing credits roll on The Big Year at our local theater in Eugene. It&#8217;s been out for more than two weeks, so I&#8217;m probably the last birder on Earth to have seen it. But, hey, I&#8217;ve been living on a remote island in Maine for the last month; what [...]]]></description>

Though we have caught a few owls every night this week, last night was the best yet &#8211; 63 saw-whets! We finally turned into bed at [...]]]></description>

We were pretty stoked about catching our first tree sparrow of the fall until Ed came running back from a net run with a Northern Shrike, definitely the [...]]]></description>

First, though, we&#8217;ve got several warm(ish) days of northwest winds to look forward to, after enduring almost two weeks of south winds (bad for migratory birds around here). Ed and I are hoping this brings one [...]]]></description>
