Hi and thanks for the visit. If you're new here you may want to subscribe to my feed.
My daughter Luciana, two and a half years old, has been featured on this blog before. And that is because we have been birding together. Today she got two more lifers as we went to the zoo and some freeflying (countable) birds were around. Black-crowned Night-Heron and House Sparrow. Luciana's expanding life list is now 42 species. That is more than she can count, although she knows the names of all and also a couple of more she has not yet seen. Two birds on her wish-list include Peruvian Thickknee and Chilean Flamingo. (No, Luciana you can't count the captive Flamingos at the zoo!)
But, now you have to excuse me for these non-birding family pictures, but the best way of sharing these shots is in a rolling series on a blogpost. My wife Elita think this series of pics taken yesterday were choreographed that are best appreciated in a series. Every gesture of dad and daughter are the same. Cute, huh? Well, at least Luciana!

They are cute Gunnar. She is so sweet. I wish my grandson liked birds as much!
Over the past few years I've realized the only thing better than watching birds is watching them with your child! Great photos!

Gunnar, these photos gave me goosebumps. Such a sweet little girl and so much like you! She'll be a guide by the time she's five years old!

My, my, my!
I realized I had not made a comment to the comments on this blogpost. How very rude of me!.
Thanks Dawn, Debbie, Mike and Lynn....
UPDATE: Luciana now has 44 species on her "before-I-turn-three" lifelist and is training to use the binocs. The two additions were Peruvian Thickknee a few weeks ago and Red-masked Parakeet yesterday (we got really good views - compared to overflies previously that could really not be counted.
