On Sunday, COAX had an outing to some cloud forest near Teocelo. Despite some tough underfoot conditions, we found some more excellent species. The pick for me was a member of one of the great bird families - Gartered Trogon.
He wouldn't quite pose kindly for the camera though.
We stumbled across more great mixed flocks of warblers, including some colourful male American Redstarts. Also present were Blue-headed and Brown-capped Vireos. A Bananaquit sang but didn't show. However, 2 Red-legged Honeycreepers did briefly come into view.
Montezuma Oropendolas were continually present, and we soon discovered the reason why..
A large colony of these bizarre birds and their hanging basket style nests.
