Rescate to the Rescue
The paramedics walked for almost four hours to find the injured people. They stabilized the patients and waited with them for nearly an hour for the navy and firefighters to arrive and assist with transporting the injured out of the canyon. Rescate’s paramedics were uninjured, apart from minor scrapes and bruises and one torn shirt. Every now and then Rescate responds to a remote and serious accident, which takes the staff away from the infirmary. Because this occurred on Sunday, our Operations Manager was not there to keep the building open. If this happens to you, please call 911 or, if it’s not an emergency, call our office at 622-226-0158 and leave a message. by Micheila Cameron |
CRRIFS: Meet our Fur Seal
He is a Guadalupe Fur Seal, which is different from a sea lion. As the name implies, a fur seal has a thick coat, much thicker than a sea lion. Fur seals also have longer whiskers. They share some similarities, being easily confused with one another, but the fur seals are members of the “eared seal” family, and they walk on all four flippers. He is weak and sick, so we are quarantining and watching him and hoping he eats some fish or squid. He is under good care, as three members of our staff of veterinarians and biologists have all trained at The Marine Mammal Center in Sausalito, California. They are doing their best to heal this fur seal, but he will need an x-ray to see what is wrong. It is not easy to x-ray a seal and it has to be done at our facility under anesthesia. On an exciting note, our ruggedly handsome Turkey Vulture was let out in the yard last week, and he was able to fly away. If you would like to schedule a tour and see what we do at CRRIFS, please call or text us at WhatsApp: 622-152-9934. There is no charge, but donations are appreciated. CRRIFS – We are much more than turtles! |
Fishing & Birding Reports
Fishing Report
Yellowtail action around San Pedro is hot at times, and should remain that way for a few months. Many fish were caught jigging, but trolling and surface action was also found. The weather has become more of a factor lately, but seas have been fishable. Spring is getting near here in San Carlos. by Bryan Replogle, Team Margarita Sportfishing, repsilon@aol.com |
Birding Report
We had 20 birders this past week and headed to the new development on the west side called El Rincón del Ensueño. We are able to spread out at each of the two ponds as well as walk around them. The highlight of the day was definitely the very close views we had of the Loggerhead Shrike. This is a bird that lives here year round but is usually seen perched high above on the utility lines. Recently we have been seeing them lower in bushes and ours was so close we could almost reach out and touch it. We also had great views of two vibrantly yellow Great Kiskadees. There was abundant bird life in the ponds including the resident Least Grebes and the wintering Blue-winged Teals, Ruddy Ducks, and Lesser Scaup. In the bushes close to shore, we saw Ruby-crowned Kinglets, Blue-gray Gnatcatchers, and many Yellow-rumped Warblers. For sparrows we had the Brewer’s and Larks. The wind rose and many of us were chilly so we stopped at 10:30am and 12 of us went to Chihuahuas for breakfast/lunch. My Bird of the Week is the Hermit Thrush. Its name in Mexico is Zorzal Cola Canela. According to Wikipedia, thrushes are “are plump, soft-plumaged, small to medium-sized birds that inhabit wooded areas and often feed on the ground.” The Hermit is part of the Catharus genus that includes the Veery, Swainson’s, Gray-cheeked and Bicknell’s. Of those, the Swainson’s is occasionally seen here during migration while the Hermit Thrush winters here. The others have never been sighted in this area. The Hermit Thrush was so named because it is a solitary bird and seems secretive because it forages on the ground below brush and is not easily seen. The little Hermit Thrush in our photo, however, was anything but secretive. It arrived at the small seep we were seated by in Rancho Nacapule and proceeded to forage all around us seemingly oblivious to our presence. I have never seen one so close or so out in the open. Hermit Thrushes winter all over the southern and Pacific US, Mexico, Guatemala and Bermuda; but, come spring, they migrate as far north as Canada and Alaska. They don’t like snow according to Birdsoftheworld.org so they are in the perfect wintering place here. The birding group will meet this coming Thursday, January 16 at 8:30am at the Mariscos Esterito Cafe located at the end of San Carlos Bay near the fish camp and across from the Red Cross station. You do not need to be an experienced birder to join our group. If you do not know anything except that you want to know more, our group will help you learn. If you are an experienced birder and just want to know other birders, then join us and share your knowledge. Please bring your water, sun and insect protection, and a chair. And your binoculars, of course. Outings last until around 11:00am and we go out to breakfast/lunch afterwards. If you have any questions, sightings to share, or comments, please feel free to contact me at maryltannehill@yahoo.com. I wish you Happy Birding wherever you are. by Mary Tannehill |
The water was a lot warmer than the air most of the morning last week. Some bonita were caught, but it looks like the water is cooling down. The yellowtail started to bite again in close on Sunday with some decent catches. Things may slow down quickly after the full moon on Monday.
