Notes made when touring Monteverde Reserve, 5:30 am to 10 am, with
- Black Guan [Chamaepetes unicolor]
- Nightingale Thrush-saw nest in the small dirt hole, with baby fluff balls inside
- Female Resplendent Quetzal (male later) [Pharomachrus mocinno]
- Emerald Toucanet [Aulacorhynchus prasinus]
- Silver pronged barbet?
- Species travel in loose flocks at all levels of the forest, following food
- Brief glimpse of orange billed Trogon. The group ahead got better look.
- Tufted Flycatcher [Mitrephanes phaeocercus] on branch, flying out then back to branch
- Heard Black Guan call, thud thud thud...
- At Hummingbird Gallery, Purple Throated Mountain Gem [Lampornis (castaneoventris) calolaema], Violet Sabrewing [Campylopterus hemileucurus]
- Nightingale Thrush-saw nest in the small dirt hole, with baby fluff balls inside
(These are the birds I got a good look at, we saw many many more that Eric named for us)
