We saw this Buff-throated Saltator during our visit to Costa Rica last month. It was one of three saltator species we encountered during the trip. I was curious where the name Saltator came from and apparently it comes from the Latin word for “leaper” from how it hops on the ground. I can’t say that I have seen them as being exceptional leapers but they are a lot of fun to watch.
We will be doing this trip again next spring, if you think you might be interested more information is available here: www.texastargetbirds.com/group-photo-trips/2018-costa-ric...

Louisiana based US AFRC 93rdBS/2ndBW's Boeing B-52H Stratofortress 61-0029 catches the light as she turns to land back at Fairford during RIAT 2023
Unfortunately, having landed, while back-tracking down the runway to park and demonstrating the BUFF's unique ability to crab sideways into wind - she made quite an impact:

Finally made my way to Castellow Hammock to see this little hummer that has been there for the last two years. This bird is mostly seen in south Texas. I really need to go back for a better picture. Not fond of driving south.
Thanks so much for the visit!
Buff-breasted Sandpiper has a Conservation Status under the IUCN of Near Threatened www.iucnredlist.org/species/22693447/111804064
It was a bonus to see Buff-breasted Sandpiper on our Northwest Territories trip. We saw two, this individual and another, at the incongruous location of a cleared area south of Tuktoyaktuk that was apparently going to serve as a new landfill. This location was within the breeding range of the species. Surprisingly, Buff-breasted Sandpiper is reported to take as food a bumblebee, Bombus polaris, that is found north of the Arctic Circle — the sandpipers apparently eat the bees directly and even feed them to their young.
One of two from a good night of mothing - one in the trap and one on the kitchen window. This I believe is a female based on its size.
The buff-winged cinclodes is a species of bird in the family Furnariidae. It is found in Argentina and eastern Chile; it winters in the Pampas. It was formerly considered the nominate subspecies of the bar-winged cinclodes.
The buff-barred warbler (Phylloscopus pulcher) is a species of leaf warbler (family Phylloscopidae). It was formerly included in the "Old World warbler" assemblage.
It is found in Bhutan, China, India, Laos, Myanmar, Nepal, Thailand, and Vietnam. Its natural habitats are boreal forests and temperate forests.
On a Club Friday shoot that was less than productive, all of a sudden, this often uncommon wetland bird strolled into view and stayed for long enough to allow each of us to get a shot.

The Buff-banded Rail, Gallirallus philippensis is a distinctively coloured, highly dispersive, medium-sized rail of the family Rallidae.
This species comprises several subspecies found throughout much of Australasia and the south-west Pacific region, including the Philippines, New Guinea, Australia, New Zealand - where it is known as the Banded Rail or Moho-pereru and numerous smaller islands, covering a range of latitudes from the tropics to the Subantarctic.
It is a largely terrestrial bird the size of a small domestic chicken, with mainly brown upperparts, finely banded black and white underparts, a white eyebrow, chestnut band running from the bill round the nape, with a buff band on the breast. It utilises a range of moist or wetland habitats with low, dense vegetation for cover. It is usually quite shy but may become very tame and bold in some circumstances, such as in island resorts within the Great Barrier Reef region.
