10,000 Birds

The real Gung-Ho, Kung-Fu birders would have drove to this site at midnight and just slept in the car or looked for owls until the dawn chorus in excellent middle elevation rainforest but since we have families, and I hate being exhausted and zombie-eyed from lack of sleep, more leisurely birding was just peachy.

Vidoz’s flycatchers, for example, tend to have a plumpish look and deeply inked color patches, while Tofte’s meticulously drawn hawks and owls show off their detailed patterns and his hummingbirds are often accompanied by the flowers from which they feed. Tintaya’s woodpeckers also nicely feature tree (and cactus!)
