We watch them, feed them, identify them, list them, count them, protect them and more, but what is a bird? With roughly 10,000 unique bird species in the world, it can be difficult to identify exactly what makes a bird a bird, but these remarkable creatures share a number of characteristics that help classify them as "birds." All birds have a backbone, which places them in the Phylum Chordata. Unlike most other vertebrates, however, birds have a lighter skeletal structure filled with hollows and air sacs to keep them lightweight. All birds have evolved feathers Lake Titicaca, straddling the border between Peru and Bolivia in the Andes Mountains, is one of South America's largest lakes and the world’s highest navigable body of water. Said to be the birthplace of the Incas, it’s home to numerous ruins. Its waters are famously still and brightly reflective. Around it are national reserves sheltering rare aquatic wildlife such as giant frogs.

As the boat pulled away it wasn't long until I spied my first lifer from the water as a giant cood stood out on a reed bed near several Common Gallinules. It truly was a monster in comparison to the tinier relative. I madly scanned the edges of the reeds and the open water in desperate search for the near endemic flightless grebe found here. There were plenty of slate colored and a few andean gulls and after about 5 minutes of looking there was the prize. It's not a stunning bird, nothing noteworthy about the looks, but the titicaca grebe bird is only found on this Lake Titicaca, and I felt lucky to catch a glimpse as the boat motored on without a single other person noticing the bird. Son we entered the reed-bordered waterway that led to the islands. Here the bird life began to pick up. Along with the coots and gallinules were now handfuls of puna teal. More andean gulls were flying around and my first yellow blackbird coursed across the canal ahead of the boat.
