The evening was
certainly much livelier for my feathered friends. There were numerous seed
eaters roaming the longer patches of grass. The regular flycatchers Kiskadee,
Grey Headed, Social were busy in the gardens in front of the accommodation.
Other flycatchers
were slightly more difficult to locate but generally gave good views after a
bit of patience. I still have to identify a couple.
I believe this
species is a Yellow Tyrannulet. Getting a shot of this bird was definitely a
game of patience.
A Yellow throated
Euphonia was far easier fayre posing nicely on a bush for the papperazzi!
A personal favourite
of mine is the Passerini’s Tanager which is surprisingly shy even at the bird
tables in from of the dining room. I hope to get some good shots of this
species before I leave.
Crimson Collared
Tanager showed well but at distance in the taller trees. The birds were in a
small group but did not venture far in the mid section of the trees.
Keel Billed Toucan
are heard regularly and one was seen at the top of a tree near the wedding area
late on. Another species that gave good views was Band Backed Wren who was
aggressive to any other species that dared to venture into their territory.
