Tanagers and honeycreepers in Costa Rica

This video, recorded at the Arenal volcano observatory in Costa Rica, is about Montezuma’s oropendolas.

As this blog reported, on 19 March 2014 we arrived near the Arenal volcano.

Next morning, 20 April.

A clay-coloured thrush.

A blue-grey tanager at the feeder water melons.

Along with a flock of Montezuma’s oropendolas.

While white-nosed coatis walk underneath, hoping some food will fall.

Red-legged honeycreepers near the feeder as well.

Both males and females.

A hepatic tanager.

A scarlet-thighed dacnis. And a male green honeycreeper.

Meanwhile, though it was officially dry season, rain had started, as this photo shows.
