I stopped to watch two vultures snuggle. There is no other way to describe it. They were perched on a light post, preening themselves, then each other, beak to neck, neck to neck.
When I set up the date with Al from Ebro Delta Birding for a full day tour of the Ebro Delta along the Catalonian coast of the Mediterranean Sea, he asked me, “Do you have a target bird?” “Flamingo,” was my response. He assured me that wouldn’t be a problem. I tried to imagine a place where flamingos were so common they wouldn’t be hard to find.
