QUESTIONS

a.  Need a person who can repair my electric gate motor. This is more an electronic problem than mechanical, the circuit board failed and I need some one to re install the new one, re calibrate and make sure all remotes are working correctly. If anyone knows of someone, would greatly appreciate a lead. Contact Scott Lewis captainscott34@gmail.com  or call 624-156-5104

b.  Anybody know of a shoe repair place anywhere near Los Barriles?  Richard Katz richard808@gmail.com

d.  Does anyone know of a wildlife rescue organization in Southern Baja. Please email me at dvlive3@yahoo.com

e.  What do we bring to Mexico? My husband and I are coming to Los Barriles in December for 6 weeks. We have only been there for a week before so, we aren't really sure about what's available there for everyday eating/living and what is not. Our question is, if you could recommend and item or two for people to bring to Mexico from the US/Canada that either isn't available or isn't very good in Mexico, what would you recommend? For example, I would recommend orange pekoe (black) tea because I found it not very delicious when we were in Mexico last. Thanks for any tips. Please contact Tracey, kaivalyapada@gmail.com

f.  My daughter is driving down next week and wants a recommendation of a hotel to spend a couple of days in in Loreto. Please advise Barbara Fowler fowlerbs@yahoo.com

John Spencer,  BajaBirder from La Ribera is going to send his photos and descriptions of our local birds.  Beep-beep!

                

The Greater Roadrunner is fairly common in the East Cape area. His range is from Central America to southwest US. He is about two feet long, half of which is the tail. A ground dwelling bird he seldom flies, but when he does, the wing beats are short, fast and noisy. He eats rodents, snakes and lizards. He displays a multi-colored (red, white and blue) eye patch and will raise a ragged crest when alarmed . Normally the colors and crest are hidden. His call is a series of five or six low 'coos' followed by what sounds like a cat purring. He is bold and tame, often entering residential gardens on his hunting expeditions.
