From a scary gull to a scary LBB? Nah, nothing scary here. Sure its an LBB but we can see it quite well, eliminating one of the hardest aspects to IDing LBBs; catching up with the little buggers. Due to the conical bill and overall plumage I don’t think anyone will argue with starting with finches and sparrows. Our bird has distinct streaks on the breast and flanks but the belly is rather plain and white. With the exception of the Redpolls, few finches have such a combination in the underparts plumage. Furthering our elimination process we can see a strong supercilium (eyebrow), malar (mustache), and a hint of a central breast spot. These bring us to a somewhat small group of sparrows.
We could go into detail on the characteristics of the breast streaks and overall background color, both of which are important to look at, but lets look at some more obvious field marks. What color is the bill? The fact that this bird’s bill is mostly pink should raise some possibilities and eliminate quite a few options including Song and Lincoln’s Sparrows, both famous for the central breast spot (the “Medal for Excellent Singing.”) Next lets look at the tail. Rectrice (tail feather) pattern can be extremely helpful in IDing sparrows, especially as they fly away and expose the outer two rectrices (R5 and R6). R5 and R6 often hold the key to IDing birds in general. Just think of Horned Larks and Yellow-rumped Warblers. While this pattern is often a known field mark on flying birds we have to remember that on perched birds we are seeing the underside of both R6s. This quiz bird shows very broadly white R6s. This eliminates all those sparrows with all-dark tails. One sparrow, Vesper Sparrow has particularly white outer rectrices.
To confirm let’s look at the face. This bird shows a broad, complete white eye-ring something that is particularly important to look for on potential Vespers. This bird shows all you need to ID a Vesper Sparrow. Don’t even think about the rufous lesser coverts, they’re hardly ever visible anyway.
I took this picture of a VESPER SPARROW near Cle Elum, Washington in April, 2007.

Gracias, poco tiempo para tanto tema pero, voy a tratar de hacer brevemente dos bloques. Uno, lo que para mí son los problemas o errores más importantes y quizás algunas salidas.
Lo primero, lamentable que un espacio tan importante como este adolezca efectivamente de una carta de navegación, un plan maestro, como ya se dijo antes, no lo hay, hay estudios varios, plan hecho por el IMP, la visión urbanística, estudios que dejó la gestión anterior, plan reestructurador que ha sido aplicado y no estaba aprobado pero no tenemos hasta ahora, después de 50 años de la visión de Aramburú Menchaca, no tenemos una visión concertada, consensuada, única que nos integre, que nos produzca identidad.
No hay y eso ha llevado a otra cosa, a lo que ha llevado a otra cosa, al uso irrestricto de la poca superficie que queda sin ninguna visión, sin ningún concierto, convirtiéndolo prácticamente en un plan vial, la Costa Verde ahora es eso y eso es lo que estamos viendo.
La presión porque se consolide este plan vial a despecho del gran espacio público que debería ser y ¿por qué ocurre esto? Porque simplemente la autoridad consituida para conducirlo, en mi opinión, tocó fondo, no da más, esa autoridad compuesta por los alcaldes no ha sabido conducir el desarrollo de la Costa Verde, hay un problema de gobernabilidad, hay un problema de gestión.
La autoridad es estrictamente la responsable tiene que ser en mi opinión reformulada. ¿Qué hacer? Lo primero, pedir a la gestión que acaba de entrar, que efectivamente convoque a un Plan Maestro Concertado pero, concertado no en la sombra.
Un plan maestro con opinión de deportistas, pescadores, con opinión de vecinos, de los distritos, con opinión de los alcaldes, universidades, colegios, un Plan Maestro realmente consensuado, que ese plan nos remita entonces una imagen objetiva en que todos nos sintamos reflejados en la Costa Verde que queremos.
Lo que se necesita es convocar entonces alianzas, ¿Cómo hacemos para que esto se financie? Convocar al gobierno central, hacer también alianzas público - privadas pero teniendo claro que se esté teniendo la orientacion respetuosa de los ecosistemas, como una cuestión fundamental y un error que se ha cometido es que se ha empezado a trabajar simpre la Costa Verde a partir del continente y no del mar, es al revés.
Hay que empezar por el mar primero, empezar por los ecosistemas, empezar por todo el sistema marino de orden y después de trabajarlos y conocer la corriente marina, pensar luego que estás con el continente y es estrictamente al revés, por eso es que la Costa Verde se ha ido depredando.
Tenemos que ganar playa, es muy poco lo que hay que ganar playa para el uso de todos, hay casos exitosos en el mundo, los holandeses, los catalanes, la gestión anterior invitó, incluso apoyó a Holanda para que esté aquí, hay maneras de hacer esto un espacio para compartir. De modo tal, que en mi opinión, todos los distritos tengan playa, efectivamente playa para todos, de que se vaya a la playa.
Avant de devenir ministre de Louis XIII, le grand maître de la diplomatie française, le cardinal de Richelieu fut l'évêque réformateur de Luçon. On lui attribue d'avoir qualifié Luçon « d'évêché le plus crotté de France ». Il s'appliqua à rebâtir la ville détruite par les guerres de religion. Il se préoccupa de la formation des prêtres de son diocèse en écrivant un catéchisme, et en organisant des visites pastorales.
