On this day in 1914, Martha, the last-known living Passenger Pigeon (Ectopistes migratorius) died at the Cincinnati Zoo. Her death at age 29 after a lifetime in captivity marked the disappearance of her once-abundant species from the world. And it made her name synonymous with species extinction at human hands. But what happened?

Before the second half of the nineteenth century, the Passenger Pigeon was the most common bird in the United States, with a population numbering in the billions. Flocks of pigeons flying overhead were so dense that they could darken the skies. But a combination of overhunting and habitat destruction sent this species into decline, and by the turn of the century, it was considered extinct in the wild.

October 26, 2024... more details of Nazca B***y in flight; a pair on flotsome with a dolphin's bill visible between them; and a pair on the water with a marine turtle (either Green or Hawksbill) juxtaposed.

Credit goes to Mauel Grosselet and the phenomenally skilled captain and mate of the vessel we used (I will post the name and company as soon as I can)... who knew just how, not only to approach the birds without undue disturbance, but they did so at the correct lighting angle for the many avid birders and bird photographers who participated on this expedition.

Another ocean wanderer well off the coast of Oaxaca... The Wedge-tailed Shearwater (light morph).

These pan-tropical seabirds range over nearly the whole of the tropical Pacific and beyond, nesting on remote coraline atolls and some inhabited granitic and basaltic islands, like Hawaii, though they are threatened by introduced rats and other mammalian predators introduced by one species: Homo sapiens.

It's hard to say where the birds we encountered nest... as the species is highly migratory and nomadic.

I'm just glad we encountered them, albeit in limited numbers, on this very successful voyage.

From a pelagic trip on steroids off the tropical Pacific coast of Huatulco, Oaxaca, Mexico, October 26, 2024: Behold this amazing face detail of an adult Nazca B***y taken during the now completed... and very likely only pelagic birding outing to reach the 50 nautical mile point in the region.

Most pelagic outings do not result in top-quality imagery of the ocean wanderers encountered, but this one was an exception to this "rule".

Never before have I had such opportunities to photograph this species in vibrant detail and excellent lighting conditions... even while at sea around the birds' natal Galapagos Islands, in Ecuador!

Many thanks also go out to my new and established bird photography friends Danial Garza Tobón, Darío Cantú Quintanilla, and seven others who's correct name spelling will be posted shortly, along with more excellent images from this exciting trip.

Stay tuned for more exciting imagery from this fabulous trip, while also contacting me in a private message if you would like to participate in future expeditions like this in Oaxaca and other rich pelagic trips off Mexico's Pacific, Gulf of California, Gulf of Mexico, and Caribbean waters.

I'll be organizing them in tandem with Manuel Grosselet through Natural Encounters Birding and Wildlife Photography Tours and Birding in Mexico.

A beautiful Orange-breasted Bunting makes an appearance in the dry tropical forests of Huatulco National Park, Oaxaca, yesterday, October 27, 2024, the morning after our exciting Birdinet pelagic expedition, organized by Manuel Grosselet, that extended to 50 nautical miles off the coast of Oaxaca.

This species is endemic to the Pacific slope of Mexico, from Nayarit south to Chiapas... where it can be fairly common... though its colors are anything but ordinary.

With bird photography friends Danial Garza Tobón, Darío Cantú Quintanilla, and other new friends who participated in this exceptional expedition.
