Birds we saw at Monteverde on March 2. A continuation of the day.

For those of our followers not "into" birds - skip this entry. We want to record them for ourselves and for our birding friends and family. I am putting the page numbers next to them from the Dean and Garrigues book so that we can look them up later, too.

The chance of us remembering these is remote, but it does make us want to return to see them again. Mark is getting very good at spotting some of these from our house. We had the blue-crowned MotMot in our backyard, as well as a flycatcher that we are trying to identify. And green parrots of some kind flying over. And lots of vultures etc etc.
