I’m sure many of you have had similar experiences. I’m wondering as I write if you are shaking your head, uneasy that all these FACTS will interfere with your love of observing owls, an experience that easily borders on the mystical for some of us. They are also hunted. I don’t think so.

A birder needs access to large areas of mature forest that also offer up chances at seeing glittering flocks of tanagers, checking out the tail bobbing behavior of cool antbirds, and glassing a hawk-eagle or two. This is what a Black Hawk-Eagle shape looks like. Yellow-naped Parrot. Ornate Hawk-Eagle. Black Guan.

In Costa Rica, although I did spend a memorable one years ago in the Osa Peninsula where flocks of parrots flew into the mangroves while we feasted on turkey, pie, and the works, we have no actual Wild Turkeys , nor an official Thanksgiving. Although this big bird isn’t on our menu, Ornate and Black-and-white Hawk-Eagles relish it.

I have, for the most part, been able to avoid caves since that experience. First off as we drove in was the Crested Serpent-eagle I’ve shown you before. Much more exciting was the Blue-crowned Hanging Parrot that shot past, followed, on the rather slippery path to the caves, by several Rufous-winged Philentomas.

On a quick browse, here are some facts I learned: Melanin helps to resist bacteria that attack feathers; most parrots are left-footed and this is associated with problem-solving; some birds nest in two different places in the same year. (Also, I wish I could use the tiny birds for my own presentations. Is a free digital download possible?)

Recent publicity about these remarkable tribes has resulted in tourists wanting to experience this wild land and its attractions for themselves. They are traditionally pastoral people, but have from necessity accepted agriculture, fishing and crocodile hunting as means of survival.
