Viaje a Guate

My apologies for the post-free nature of BOTB since last Saturday. I've been traveling to exotic lands and have not had ready access to the Internet.

This post will have to be necessarily short. It's 4:30 am and I'm sitting in the open-air lobby of the Villas Guatemala Hotel near Flores, Guatemala waiting for transport to Tikal for a final bout of birding. Then it's bus, airplane, shuttle, hotel, shuttle, airplane, airplane, airplane, airplane, Nebraska.

Going from the humid lowland forest of the Peten Department of Guatemala to the snow-blown flatness of Kearney, Nebraska is going to be muy interesante.

For now I'll leave you with this photograph of a black-headed trogon. More soon!
