Baja California

[Steven Mlodinow]

Greetings All

After 3.5 years, I returned to southernmost Baja California. Still safe. Still lovely. 

Almost 200 species of birds, including all of the current endemic species, except Baird's Junco.

And due to goodly late fall and early winter rains, a nice variety of insects, including a first record of a dragonfly (Straw-colored Sylph) and perhaps, a first record of a grasshopper (Orphulella punctata) that is known from across the Gulf of California. One grasshopper of genus Melanoplus may not have been described before

Good Luck and Good Birding
