Observation details
Life birds. Three resting in the field, perhaps eating as occasionally they dipped their heads, but remained stationary. They are related to ducks not geese. They have more pneumatic sacs in their bones than any other bird, which allows them to be great flyers. They have huge wing spans and sore easily. Hector told us all this after we got back on the bus. We missed them yesterday. Hector and Manuel Espejo made a good team today. Hector talked Manuel into devoting 10 minutes of our ride to go back to this area today. Manuel spotted the three birds as we rode by. Yay team! Photographed.
