Turkey Vulture
The Turkey Vulture, after some wing flaps, picked up a thermal air current and soared high. Then, without any effort circled over a vast area, looking for any carrion to be his next meal. The background mountains are part of the Andes in Mejia, Arequipa, Peru.
Peruvian Thick Knee
Peruvian Thick Knee
These birds I didn’t see for many years, The Peruvian Thick Knee is found in South America in the coastal strip between the Pacific Ocean and the Andes. Its range extends from northern Chile, through Peru to southern Ecuador. Its typical habitat is semi-desert areas, agricultural land, dry pasture or well-vegetated river valleys. It particularly favours open crops such as alfalfa or corn.

Sanderlings
Sanderlings
Tiny little birds, foraging for invertebrates living under algae on the beach shore. These are very quick walking birds I found at the Paracas beach in Peru.
Double-crested Cormorant
Double-crested Cormorant
This lonely Double-crested Cormorant stood there on the rocks. The sea waters breaking next to him. He seemed to be deep in thought. I couln’t resist shooting this picture!

Cinnamon Teals
Cinnamon Teals
A cute group of Cinnamon Teals swam separated from other birds, I was happy to see them, it was a few years since I saw the species.
Killdeer
Killdeer
This Killdeer was running around by itself, pecking here and there, most likely that it has a nest near by he must be foraging to bring something home.
