10,000 Birds

Before we got to our destination, I pulled the car over to investigate an almost deafening twittering. A Lineated Woodpecker banged its head against a dry branch. This extremely vocal member of the vireo family utters its rich warble incessantly from sun-up to sun-down but it rarely makes itself visible. Bay-headed Tanagers.

Local guide and birder David Mora Vargas has been spending much of his time at his family’s farm in the Sarapiqui lowlands. At another site in the northern Caribbean lowlands, another local birder has been doing bird counts at his family’ private reserve, Las Arrieras. Check it out: Juvenile Tiny Hawk Show in Sarapiqui.

Hummingbirds, on the other hand, just can’t seem to pass more than a few minutes without going into a rage and attacking the nearest fellow member of their avian family.

Their taxonomic affinities have caused great confusion and debate amongst ornithologists; they were originally assigned to the thrush family, then Old World warblers before being shifted to babblers (the last mentioned a common dumping-ground for any aberrant passerines).

Years of follow-up research conducted by one of Earthwatch’s principal investigators on the Tambopata Macaw project, Dr. Don Brightsmith, shows, however, that within the study area of the clay lick the birds tend to choose the soil with the highest sodium content over soils that are best for neutralizing toxins.
