This is a list of the species I have definitely seen. I missed many, and some I did not get an opportunity to identify. So this list is the birds I definitely saw and could identify either immediately, or after studying a photograph of the sighting, or with help from birders far more qualified than I.
I will update the list as we travel. Most have been recorded via Birdlasser … been making triplists as we go on this app.
Updated list. Still one or two that I need to ID from photos. And sadly for me, there are many are saw so fleetingly I could not identify. But that is what will keep me traveling :).
