Figure 1. This free-flying Keel- billed Toucan - (Ramphastos sulfuratus) was a common visitor to the bird table. Lunch, this day, was cantaloupe. (Photo: Alan Journet, June 1999) |
|
|
Figure 2. The Crested Caracara (Polyborus plancus) is often seen scavenging in the pastures. This was seen at Zoo Aves in Alajuela. (Photo: Alan Journet July 1999) | ||
| Figure 3. Occasionally a hanging nest of the Montezuma's Oropendola (Psarocolius montezuma) is blown out of the fig tree (Ficus jimenezii) adjacent to the Lodge. The tree held one hundred or more nests until a storm blew them down. Kathy Conway is holding a double nest. (Photo: Alan Journet, June 1999) |

Montezuma's Oropendola (Psarocolius montezuma) is a large brow-black bird with a stunning yellow tail and a reddened beak tip (Photos: Alan Journet, June 2002). . | ||
|
|
|
||
|
|
 |
||
 |
White-throated Magpie Jays (Calocitta formosa) are common and noisy visitors to the bird feeders (Photos: Alan Journet, July 2002). | ||
|
|
 |
The Great-tailed Grackle Quisculus mexicanus is frequently seen (females have shorter tails and are brownish); it can be confused with the slightly smaller Groove-billed Ani (Crotophaga sulcirostris) which has a large rounded beak. | |
 |
 |
Hoffman's Woodpecker (Melanerpes hoffmannii) is also a common visitor to the feeders. | |
| The blue-grey tanager (Thraupis episcopus) is often seen around the lodge and the feeders. |
