There is also a family of Barn Owls on the premises, and I have briefly seen the largest of them (enormous!) Two classic birds of Mexico’s east coast are also present. A Roadside Hawk perched on a post next to, of course, a road. And two Ferruginous Pygmy-Owls toot-toot-tooted from the brush. flying by at night.

Another cotinga that is arguably the most popular member of that family – for its voice more so than its looks – is the Screaming Piha. The viewing platform presented us with a spectacular vista of an unbroken green carpet for as far as the eye could see. Over rolling hills into the distance, there was only verdant jungle.

Belonging to the family “Sulidae” , which includes both the Boobies and Gannets, in 1760 the French zoologist Mathurin Jacques Brisson introduced the genus “Sula”. I propose that the name be changed in such a manner that would allow them to remain in the original “Sulidae” family, but be moved into the genus “Morus”, with the gannets.
