No Macaws were seen
at Cano Palma watchpoint this morning but there was time to catch up with a
pair of Prothonotary Warbler that have been camera shy over the last few
days. This species generally busily
skulks about in dense foliage and has been tricky to photograph. A pair have also been seen in SanFrancisco.
A Green Ibis made
its second appearance along the canal regularly changing position but did offer
any explanation for its movements. This ibis is generally dark in colour with
the green sheen showing in brighter light.
There was a huge number
of Hirundines rolling in off the coast circa 1500. Sometimes the sky was
littered with birds on a mission to get somewhere. Barn Swallow was amongst the
masses and after many attempts pictures of what I think are Grey breasted Martin were taken.
The afternoon was
spent in San Francisco where a Passerini’s Tanager almost made good its escape from
the wires. This species is being seen regularly in San Francisco at the moment.
An Amazon Kingfisher
was far more relaxed around the paparazzi allowing close views of this large
Kingfisher.
The bird of the
afternoon was one of the last on the list a Black-cowled Oriole which again was
very approachable as it rested in a garden off the main path. This species is common
in the Caribbean lowlands perhaps they have just been avoiding me!
Next up a Macaw
update..
