“...a supremely lovely bird, the most beautiful,

“...a supremely lovely bird, the most beautiful, all things considered, that I have ever seen. He owes his beauty to the intensity and arresting contrast of his coloration, the resplendent sheen and glitter of his plumage, the elegance of is ornamentation, the symmetry of his form, and the noble dignity of his carriage.”
Resplendent Quetzal - Alexander Skutch, 1944.

White-collared Manakin (Manacus candei) A beautiful member of the Pipridae family.
Walking along the foothills and lowlands of the Costa Rican Caribbean Slope you will sometimes hear a snapping sound (as if someone was heating two rocks against each other or breaking little branches maybe) followed by a high pitch thrill. That’s your cue to know that these fluffy little fellows are around perfecting their mating ritual performance.
That’s what Manakins do, they have perfected very elaborated displays that include, dancing, producing sounds with their wings, display their plumage and different vocalization to attract a female.
So if you hear it, look around, observe, by patient, you are up for a great show!!! #birdingexperiences

Had a wonderful and very rainy day at La Selva Bio

Had a wonderful and very rainy day at La Selva Biological Station and Cinchona area today.
Although we got completely wet, we were rewarded with the most spectacular parade of species, Sunbittern, Snowy Cotinga, 4 species of Toucan, Tanagers, Manakins, Parrots, Barbets, 10 species of hummingbirds and more…

But without a doubt we hit the big prize when this Bare-necked Umbrellabird decided to put a show for us.
Since we got to see it having a second breakfast, the menu consisted on a nice big Red-eyed Tree Frog.
Enjoy!!! #birdingexperiences

The Black-and-yellow Silky-flycatcher (Phainoptila

The Black-and-yellow Silky-flycatcher (Phainoptila melanoxantha)

The silky-flycatchers are a small family, Ptiliogonatidae, of passerine birds. With only 4 members in three genera.
The family is named for their silky plumage and their aerial flycatching techniques, although they are unrelated to the Old World flycatchers (Muscicapidae) and the tyrant flycatchers (Tyrannidae). Two of this species are near endemics to Costa Rica, since they are also found in western Panama.
The Black-and-yellow Silky-flycatcher (Phainoptila melanoxantha), ranges from 1000 to 3400 meters elevation.

Geographic variation in the colour pattern of Phainoptila melanoxantha indicates the existence of two well-defined forms. P. m. melanoxantha corresponding to the populations of the Talamanca range and the Central Volcanic range and P. m. parkeri corresponding to the populations that inhabit the Tilarán and the Guanacaste ranges (Barrantes & Sánchez, 2000). This form differs from populations of the Corrdilleras de Talamanca and Volcanica Central by its completely yellow belly in males (as opposed to grey), and its shorter wing and also its tails and in females, the streaked pattern of the breast.

Resplendent Quetzal (Pharomachrus mocinno) is a member of the Trogonidae family and one of the most sought after birds in the Neotropics.
A regular species to be found if you know where to look for. Actually they are very faithful to fruiting trees of the Lauraceae family (wild avocado). Join one of our birding trips and we will take you to see them.

American Dipper (Cinclus mexicanus) is a member of

American Dipper (Cinclus mexicanus) is a member of the Conclidae family and you can find them foraging in fast running water rivers.
This species distinctive traits include frequent dipping, a blinking white eyelid, and vigorous feeding by jumping or diving into turbulent water even at ambient temperatures well below 0°C. To persist in this demanding environment, the American Dipper has a low metabolic rate, extra oxygen-carrying capacity in its blood, and a thick coat of feathers.

The Long-wattled Umbrellabird is a rare to uncommo

The Long-wattled Umbrellabird is a rare to uncommon resident of humid foothill and lowland forests of the Pacific slope of the Andes from Colombia to southwestern Ecuador. The chest wattle of the male indeed is long, but the bird can control the length of the wattle, shortening the wattle at will; for example, the wattle always is retracted in flight. Females and immature males have little or no wattle, but have a crest, although the crest is shorter than in adult males. Long-wattled Umbrellabirds form small leks where males display with their long, pendulous wattle while sounding off with their far-carrying, fog-horn-like call. The Long-wattled Umbrellabird is considered globally Vulnerable and, mostly due to hunting pressures and habitat destruction is considered endangered within Ecuador.

The spectacularly bizarre Andean Cock-of-the-rock

The spectacularly bizarre Andean Cock-of-the-rock is perhaps the most popularly recognized bird of the cloud forests of the Andes Mountains. The national bird of Peru, this species is readily identified by its fan-shaped crest and brilliant orange plumage, both of which are evident to a lesser degree even in the duller female. Males spend much of their time displaying at leks, where they jump up and down on particular branches and utter low, guttural croaks. The name is derived from their preference for rocks and ledges as substrates for their mud cup nests. Often difficult to detect away from leks, birds can sometimes be found feeding at fruiting trees. Distributed from Venezuela to Bolivia in the Andes, the Andean Cock-of-the-Rock does not co-occur with the similar Guianan Cock-of-the-rock of the Guianan Shield. (Neotropical Birds, Cornell)
