	2751 (1 videos) Violet-crowned Hummingbird (Amazilia violiceps ellioti) Violetkronet Snebryst - Colibrí Corona Violeta Coto La Condesa, Cd. Guzmán, Jalisco (Jal), Mexico 2018-09-04 Adult. Same as 2740-41 and 2750. Coto La Condesa
	2750 (1 videos) Violet-crowned Hummingbird (Amazilia violiceps ellioti) Violetkronet Snebryst - Colibrí Corona Violeta Coto La Condesa, Cd. Guzmán, Jalisco (Jal), Mexico 2018-08-10 Adult. The only bird of the species which has found my feeder, but apparently it likes it, because it has been coming daily throughout the last month. Also see 2740-41 of the same bird. Coto La Condesa
	2749 (1 videos) Broad-billed Hummingbird (Cynanthus latirostris ?) Mexicansk Brednæbskolibri - Colibrí Pico Ancho Coto La Condesa, Cd. Guzmán, Jalisco (Jal), Mexico 2018-09-05 Adult male. Have seen 5 males together, but no females, and the first and only other hummer to visit was and still is a Violet-crowned Hummingbird. See 2732, which is the same or one of the other 4 males. The area is isolated from natural habitat in general, making it harder to attract birds. Of course it is impossible to see details in this poor video, but you can still perceive that the tail moves a lot, like a large paint brush, and this behavior apparently is typical for the species, and is very different from the way the Violet-crowned moves its tail, making this an id feature even when you can't see the birds other than in silhouette Coto La Condesa
	2539 (12 Photos) (1 videos) Great-tailed Grackle (Quiscalus mexicanus monsoni) Kragegrackel - Zanate Mayor Parque Los Colomos, Guadalajara, Jalisco (Jal), Mexico 2017-10-22 Adult male. The subspecies only based on the locality.This bird is sick. It's got what looks like a tumor on the side of the neck. It was obvious that something was wrong with it also before I got my binoculars on it. It was almost crawling over the grass and it was foraging in the sun, which they never do if they can avoid it. This it probably did to be warmed up after a chilly night. I stayed at the same position to watch it while it slowly moved forward along the sunny patch leading down toward me. First when it was half a meter from me, it looked up and found out that there could be danger in the air. But even then it only flew about 5 meters before it dropped down and started to forage again. A sad birthday experience for me, who had gone to the park to try to see if I could beat my record of 67 species in a day set on one of my previous birthdays. Aberrant
	2444 (1 videos) Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos platyrhynchos) Gråand - Pato de Collar Sjællandsbroen, Amager, Denmark 2017-05-15 Female with ducklings. Denmark is a great country. Even the ducks are so bright and well-educated..!
	2197 (3 Photos) (2 videos) Willet (Tringa semipalmata inornata) Willet - Playero Pihuiuí Laguna Atotonilco, Jalisco (Jal), Mexico 2016-03-11 A single bird present. Unusual here inland, but a few birds are seen now and then.
	2190 (2 videos) Wilson's Phalarope (Phalaropus tricolor) monotypic Amerikansk Svømmesneppe - Falaropo Pico Largo Laguna Atotonilco, Jalisco (Jal), Mexico 2016-03-11 Compared with the also present Red-necked Phalaropes it was clear that the W's were spinning considerably faster than the RN's. See video 2189. Dont' know it is species specific. Also notice that some birds are spinning against the clock and some with it. Not sure it it is coincidental or perhaps sex related...? Didn't observe that the same bird turned both ways around.
	2189 (1 videos) Red-necked Phalarope (Phalaropus lobatus) monotypic Odinshane - Falaropo Cuello Rojo Laguna Atotonilco, Jalisco (Jal), Mexico 2016-03-11 Basic plumage. Not sure if the spinning speed of the Red-necked generally is slower than that of the Wilson's, but it was clearly so comparing with the also present Wilson's. See video 2190. Snow geese sound in the background.
	2188 (1 videos) Red-necked Phalarope (Phalaropus lobatus) monotypic Odinshane - Falaropo Cuello Rojo Laguna Atotonilco, Jalisco (Jal), Mexico 2016-03-11 Still in basic plumage. Foraging without the characteristic whirling turns. Two birds present.
	1954 (5 Photos) (2 videos) Sparkling-tailed Hummingbird (Tilmatura dupontii) monotypic Blåstrubet Stjernekolibri - Colibrí Cola Pinta Arroyo Las Pilas - Sierra Águila, Jalisco (Jal), Mexico 2015-11-22 Male. Unmistakable in the area. 2 males seen together. Not sure if all pictures are of the same bird. Lifer! Funny to observe how it looks like the right outer tail feather is missing in photo 4, whereas it is very present in number 5.
	1916 (3 Photos) (1 videos) Common Loon (Gavia immer) monotypic Islom - Colimbo Común Presa Las Pintitas, Gdl, Jalisco (Jal), Mexico 2015-11-06 Juvenile bird with finely scaled back and bright bill without black tip. Also rather brownish neck. A big surprise to find this lonely bird, and especially on a day without any waterfowl besides the locale ones. It foraged almost constantly during my stay, only staying above the surface for a longer period, as seen in the video, while it was preening. Incredible that a lake like this, with polluted water and large quantities of trash floating around, and in the middle of the city, could attract this elegant bird. Rather rare species in general to find inland in Mexico. My first in Jalisco.
	1871 (1 videos) Roseate Spoonbill (Platalea ajaja) monotypic Rosaskestork - Espátula Rosada Boca de Tomates, Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco (Jal), Mexico 2015-10-11 Adult and young bird foragering in large rain puddle in the parking lot.
