On a bug infested walk along the bic path out of Ayer's Cliff, I spotted this bird in some distant shrubs. Couldn't get closer. From the shape, I thought I saw a cuckoo, but didn't know we had them here. I was somewhat confused till I got to see the book. Requested by S.B.

A boat ride up & down the Tarcoles river in Parque Nacional Carara, provided this view. We went to its outlet and back to the shallowest navigable part. This one was in the reeds on the shore.

On our first afternoon at Punta Leona, the Macaw's showed up on the nut trees, right on the beach. Lots of people around. It was after 6pm with low light. In later days we could never get this close.

These were taken in the St Lazare sandpits. The birds always positioned themselves so that we had to shoot towards the sun. I got help with the ID from one of the local birders; George.

The beaches of Sanibel Island are a great feeding spot for shorebirds. Every high tide washes up live molusks by the millions. These birds were fattening up before heading to the arctic.
