Uganda definitely delivers all the fancy forest kingfishers you could want. And that doesn’t even include crossing tracks with Blue Monkey , Red-tailed Monkey , and Tree Hyrax. We also combed through enough African Pygmy Kingfishers to eke out a much rarer African Dwarf Kingfisher. Chocolate-backed Kingfisher.

If a large, powerful bird of prey capable of terrorizing a Wild Turkey comes to mind, that may be a fair definition of a hawk-eagle. Like a Northern Goshawk on steroids with fancy plumage, these birds can take small monkeys, opossums, ibis, toucans, macaws, and other medium-sized animals of the rainforest.

” Definitely not. Among all mammals, I think I like monkeys the least. A Little Forktail auditioned for a prominent role in a future blog post “Cartoon Birds – The Sequel” “Were there Leaf Warblers as well”, you ask? Yes, there were. “Are you going to be any more specific?”

There was definitely always the temptation to just sit at the restaurant, sip a warm cup of coffee or tea, and watch the constant antics of parrots, toucans, hummingbirds, and more going about their daily routine.

In addition to Coati we also spotted Agouti , White-tailed Deer , and the endemic subspecies Yucatan Spider Monkey. Sure I spotted the occasional Melodious Blackbird and I was amused watching a Hooded Oriole feeding a Bronzed Cowbird but the birding was definitely less-than-stellar. It was pretty awesome.

And, the next time I travel south (and, there’s an excellent chance that will happen within the next year), I will definitely once more read The New Neotropical Companion , by John Kricher, the latest version of this nature classic. Photographic credits are given with each photo, which I like better than a listing at the back of the book.

We also saw a small group of Guianan Red Howler Monkeys feeding nearby. Definitely a place that warrants multiple visits. Turquoise Tanager. Dusky-capped Flycatcher (lower right) and a Rufous-tailed Jacamar. After about ten minutes, the male began his characteristic, bone-shaking howling.
