Workshop: How to Read the Bible in Parallel
On the left, you see the first part of the Gospel of Mark laid out as the author intended. There are no chapters and verses, no newspaper columns, and you read horizontally and vertically. That is true for about 80% of the Bible.
I will teach you to organize and read the Bible horizontally and vertically. As a result, you will come to your own vastly different conclusions. This is NOT a workshop about how to interpret the Bible. Your faith is your business.
I am Robert North, Ph.D. I am a scripture scholar and therapist who has recently moved here. That is the cover of my book on the left. It explains the newest discoveries about how to arrange and read the Bible and other ancient texts.
To facilitate your learning, I am offering interactive three-hour workshops. They are limited to five people each, so I can tutor each person, and everyone can discover together. You will learn more than most scholars know. The content for each class is the same, so you register for a single class.
Cost: $50 USD or 850 pesos.
Workshop length: Three hours, from 2:00pm – 5:00pm.
Dates: February 16 – February 18 (Monday to Wednesday).
Location: Embarcadero Restaurant, Covered Patio, at the Marinaterra Hotel.
You will bring a pen, scissors, and tape. Other materials will be provided.
If interested, kindly send me an email telling me the day you desire (Monday – Wednesday 2/16-2/18) at: BobWNorth@Gmail.com or call at +1 951-718-9787.
I look forward to meeting you. We will have fun and discover a lot.

Workshop: Ancient Personal Growth Secrets
I am Robert North, Ph.D. I am an ancient text scholar and Counselor who has recently moved here.
Ancient humans were like us: They sought the same psychological / spiritual development secrets as us. They all suffered from worry, regret, anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, and other emotional issues. They all asked the same life questions, like, “Who am I? How do I find my mission? And, how do I resolve the tension in my family?” The ancient wise leaders captured their insights in poems, sayings, and allegories. We find them in ancient texts such as the Old Testament, Buddha’s poems, and other manuscripts.
I discovered that their core principles for emotional and spiritual growth are more fundamentally insightful than those used by most therapists. I have spent the last 40 years unearthing them and writing about them. I want to teach their insights to you. To facilitate your learning, I am offering interactive three-hour workshops. They are limited to seven people each, so I can tutor each person, and everyone can discover together.
The content for each class is the same, so you register for a single class.
Cost: $50 USD or 850 pesos.
Workshop length: Three hours, from 2:00pm – 5:00pm.
Dates: February 19 – February 21 (Thursday – Saturday).
Location: Embarcadero Restaurant, Covered Patio, at the Marinaterra Hotel.
You will bring a pen, scissors, and tape. Other materials will be provided.
If you are interested, kindly send me an email telling me the day you desire (Thursday – Saturday) at: BobWNorth@Gmail.com or call: +1 951-718-9787. I look forward to meeting you. We will have fun and discover a lot.

Fishing & Birding Reports
San Carlos Fishing Report
The latest report was of four yellowtail caught out in the Bay on the troll. A few were scratched out around San Antonio, with a couple kayakers getting two off Piedras Pintas. I saw my first boil off the beach in town in ten years. The pangas were getting them at the Island, but they wouldn’t touch the jig that day. One boat didn’t get them up the coast, where another jigged up fourteen. Sometimes you just have to be in the right place at the right time. by Bryan Replogle, Team Margarita Sportfishing, repsilon@aol.com |
San Carlos Birding Report
We had 15 for our outing last week and after some discussion decided to go to a spot along the Esterito Road. The forecast had been for sunshine but it was cloudy and cool and birds prefer their baths in the sunshine. Our beginning was auspicious: I parked my car, looked up at the tree beside me and spotted a Red-tailed Hawk. It flew off when I opened the car door but perched nearby and everyone had very good views. It was slow pickins for the next hour but when the sun intermittently peaked through the clouds, it picked up and when the sun finally emerged more enthusiastically, the birds flew from the bushes and started to bathe and fly about. We ended the day with 31 species including Varied Buntings, a Canyon Towhee, a Black-headed Grosbeak, Lesser Goldfinches, a Gray Flycatcher and Vireo, and both a MacGilllivray’s and Wilson’s Warbler. Our outing ran late because most of the birds arrived just as we were getting ready to leave. I call this an “oh, wait” moment. Since our “oh wait” had lasted for 45 minutes, we decided to forgo lunch. My Bird of the Week is the Gray Flycatcher. This precious little bird is a member of the notoriously difficult-to-identify genus Empidonax. Its name in Mexico is Papamoscas Bajacolita. Like all our flycatchers, the Gray is a poser which makes it much easier to photograph. It sits on a branch and then darts out to grab an insect and often returns to the same branch or one very close for further surveying of the insect landscape. I spotted the little bird in the photo at what we call our Esterito Road watering hole. At times this spot has running water from the mountains and at other times it is no more than a puddle but the birds love it. Birdsna.org reports that the Gray does a full molting after migrating to its winter grounds. (San Carlos is a wintering area.) This winter and early spring plumage is called “fresh basic plumage” and has a distinctly green tinge to it. This is the coloring we see almost the entire season here in San Carlos. In spring, summer, and early fall, the Gray is in “alternate plumage” and is mostly gray with its white belly. My photo was taken on February 6th and is a good example of the greenish “fresh basic plumage.” The Gray looks a lot like the Dusky Flycatcher which migrates through our area but has a behavior characteristic that differentiates it and is easily spotted once you are looking for it: it wags its tail gently downward as it perches. This behavioral twitch is fortunate because the call of the Gray is almost identical to that of the Dusky, Least and Willow Flycatchers. Habitat for the Gray Flycatcher is sagebrush and brush and it likes to forage in low bushes but on a perch that allows clear views of insects. It winters in our area of Mexico and breeds in the western US. The birding group will meet this coming Thursday, February 12 at 8:00am 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 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 |

CRRIFS: our Slow Healing River Turtle
She was run over by a car in Guaymas and was taken to a local veterinary who contacted us. We have worked on putting resin on her fracture for it to heal, but it is a long recovery. It takes over a year to heal a fracture of this magnitude. Usually reptiles brumate in the winter, but due to her injury she must stay awake so she can heal. She likes to hide in tall grass in her area. She eats lettuce and fruit each day. If you would like to come and look for Coral who is probably hiding in her habitat, and visit our other patients and our new aviary, please contact us for a tour. We do not charge for tours, but donations are accepted. For these stories and more, please join us on Sunday evening March 8, as CRRIFS will have our first Wildlife Gala at the San Carlos Yacht Club. Tickets are 600 pesos each for dinner, cash bar, auctions and a wildlife presentation. Tickets are available at CRRIFS Gift Shop at the Marina (behind Barracuda Bob’s) or at the Wildlife Center. For more information, contact us by text or phone on WhatsApp at 622-152-9934. CRRIFS – We are much more than turtles! Center for Rescue, Rehabilitation, Investigation of Fauna Silvestre (Wildlife) |
