Fun Facts: “Mexican Revolution (1910 –1920) – a long and bloody struggle among several factions in constantly shifting alliances which resulted ultimately in the end of the 30-year dictatorship under Porfirio Diaz and the establishment of a constitutional republic. Two great figures, Francisco “Pancho” Villa from the north of Mexico and Emiliano Zapata from the south, led the revolution and remain key cultural and historical symbols in this fight for social reform.”

Fishing Report

As predicted, an extreme wave of ‘yellowtail fever’ broke out in San Carlos last week. This undiagnosed and extremely debilitating disease can last for many winter months, and often melds into ‘spring fever’. It usually peaks between the quarter and full moon, and is particularly bad when there is a surface bite. It’s victims often go untreated, as they are on the water or ‘cleaning fish’, and mask the real disease with other ailments, illnesses, inebriants, insomnia, wasteful spending, and forgetfulness of priorities and chores. Few understand the disease (even it’s victims) and support groups are usually clandestine, delirious, and not taken seriously. It’s greatest victims, besides the infected and spouses, are the fish.

Last week was mainly highlighted by up to double-digit catches of 12 – 20 pound yellowtail a mile or two out. Bites were mainly on the surface and trolling. Some afternoon bites were reported, and the action lasted throughout the morning some days. Some Sierra were still around, barracuda, small ‘firecracker’ yellowtail, and a mix of skipjack and bonita sizes. A couple small dorado made their way inside, and we might see more. The warm water is pushing back in.

If you fish like me, you carry afflictions year-round. My summertime withdrawals require constant reaffirmation from satellite charts, and necessitate relapse. We headed offshore Friday through the fog, looking to give my scarred hands a break and limit the amount of yellowtail we had to clean. As the temperature gradually climbed, my friend promised a quick head spin and I watched line melt off the reel as something had my purple softhead. The fish came off, but then re-emerged with a big tail chasing the cedar plug as I worked hard to convince it to switch to my bait. After a quick taste of the plug, it eventually gave my ballyhoo a good look and we were on. The marlin gave some spirited jumps and a run down to the end of the spool as we turned to chase it. We released the 150+ pound fish and passed several more that glassy afternoon. We only found one small dorado, but my fever still subsides. They are still out there somewhere on the bait. There still could be a few slow days here, but there will be fever outbreaks by the end of the week, mark my word.

Birding Report

Hola Dear Birding Enthusiasts,

Please note that the Birding Group will meet this Thursday at 8:00am, not 7:30am. Winter is coming and temperatures are dropping.

We had 15 for our group outing this past week and headed to El Rincón del Ensueño development on the west side of San Carlos. They have graciously allowed us to bird at the settlement ponds there for a number of years.

We split the group between the two ponds and between us had 28 species. The highlight of the day for the group at the east pond was a Great Horned Owl. Those of us on the west side had to be content with Townsend’s, Orange-crowned and Yellow-rumped warblers. We also saw 14 Least Grebe, a number of Blue-winged Teals and our first Redhead duck of the season. Since we had started at 7:30am, we finished up at 10:00am and went to breakfast at El Mar restaurant.

My Bird of the Week is the beautiful Mountain Bluebird. This is another bird that is normally not seen in San Carlos but a lovely male appeared recently foraging from posts on the beach outside of Delfin Condos. Its name in Mexico is Auzlejo Pálido.

The male Mountain Bluebird is the bluest of the bluebirds with no patches of orange or red on either sex but that blue does not always look the same. Unlike many other colors in birds, blue is not created by a pigment but by the way the light interacts with the feather structure. When light hits the tiny air pockets and melanin granules within the feather, it scatters primarily blue wavelengths making the bird look blue to our eyes. We really noticed this in the early morning light on the beach at Delfin. Sometimes our bird looked brilliantly blue and other times it appeared more slate colored. However, it was always absolutely beautiful, especially when it was standing on the sand and the pale color of the sand contrasted with the blue.

As beautiful as it is, it is quite hardy. Mountain Bluebirds migrate to their summer breeding grounds at high elevations in western North America in late winter when cold snowy weather still persists. For that reason, they have become known in those areas as a harbinger of spring. When the bluebirds arrive, spring cannot be far behind. Mountain Bluebirds originally nested primarily in pre-existing tree cavities and still do but people have started providing nesting boxes and they have grown quite fond of those also.

They are not shy of humans and sit in the open on perches such as tree tops, fence posts, and power lines foraging for insects. Ours was taking advantage of the posts in the sand meant to keep out ATVs. When I saw our bluebird, it was a weekend and there were people all over the beach but it was happily hopping from the post to the sand and quickly back up again. If you are in the Delfin area, see if you can spot that brilliant blue.

The birding group will meet this coming Thursday, November 21 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. This is a new time. 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.
