    Far from a great photo, but only the second image in the gallery of this species and as close as I got to a flight image.

    I wonder if there was a spider web that he was plucking things out of. Niels

  8. Grenada Tanager

    Grenada Tanager

    The bird was truly holding its head downwards most of the time I saw it, including in this photo. Current taxonomy has this one as Lesser Antillean Tanager, but it is split by the newest field guide.

    In the middle of a rain shower (and therefore a lot less light), this bird was feeding from the flowers of whatever palm this was.

    Colombia - Minca and Tayrona: what to do?

    When I contacted Breiner, he first told us he would not be available but that he had another, English-speaking guy he could send instead. Then as time approached, it turned out to be him anyway. I would probably hire him on the first or the second day of your time there and then do the rest on...

    Colombia - Minca and Tayrona: what to do?

    If you feel that way and you want to see it all, then I would recommend using a guide. Several of these species are tricky; I got the parakeet and the bush-tyrant but missed the quetzal, just to mention one. Black-backed Thornbill was another miss - the guide felt this one varied in...

    Eared Dove

    Looking at images of this bird and Zenaida Dove (which overlap in SE Caribbean), I discovered what seems to be a field mark: ZeDo seems to have a pattern of white surrounding a black band across the tail which eared dove does not show on the images I looked at. Subspecies stenura

    Colombia - Minca and Tayrona: what to do?

    Someone else in a trip report stated they were told to have one motorcycle per person and an additional motorcycle per large suitcase. With (in my case) four motorcycles, price difference probably would have been minimal for getting from Minca to the lodge. Niels

    Colombia - Minca and Tayrona: what to do?

    I do not know what would be available if anything at the estacion. Generally in SA mountains, elevation is everything with regards to which species of birds are present. There is more than 500 m difference in elevation according to the map you yourself uploaded. At the elevation of the lodge...

    Colombia - Minca and Tayrona: what to do?

    In principle yes you could. I believe there is about a 1000 m elevation difference, so to do so in a reasonably time period would mean that you should be really fit. At estacion La Cumbre you would do the left fork (labeled 6 on the map) and walk to the tower, and from there you can get out...
