Got A Few Today


Day 5 of Nine

Despite our guides’ lament—“This is horrible.  Last time I was here we stayed 2 hours and couldn’t leave for all the birds. Today, nothing”—we did see some birds today.  Like I thought, we found different bird life in the lower elevations.  It was at times slow birding, but still we got a few new ones today in and near the village of Caldera.

Add these to the list:

White-winged Becard
Southern Beardless Tyrannulet
Gray-headed Chachalaca
Rough-legged Tyrannulet (aka White-fronted Tyrannulet)
Thick-billed Seed-Finch
Squirrel Cuckoo
Blue-headed Parrot
Lesser Greenlet
Lance-tailed Manakin

Unfortunately for me, Peggy saw that Lance-tailed Manakin, but I didn’t.  So I guess it counts toward the 100 for the week, right?  That means today 9 new ones, and for the week 31.  Only 69 to go!
