    Flycatcher ID's, Placencia, Belize 15/3/23

    I agree, all IDs are correct. For Yucatan, cap is also not as contrasting dark and it has more white edging in the wings, especially the tertials.

    Arenal Costa rica ID please

    The hummingbird is a Rufous-tailed.

    Costa Rican birds

    Mystery dove 5 looks good for juv. Chiriqui Quail-Dove. Not the best resolution but that seems to be the best fit. They do occur there once in a while. Other dove is Gray-chested.

    Id Borgainvillia hotel, San Jose, Costa Rice

    Looks good for Philadelphia Vireo- an expected species there.

    IDs please Monteverde, Costa Rica

    Hi Mike, definitely Yellow-throated Euphonia.
  9. Birdingcraft

    Another set of pics from Costa Rica for ID check....

    Definitely female Yellow-throated for the second pic, and female Olive-backed for the other euphonia. Female Tawny-capped wouldn't look as dark olive. Nice birds.

    Hotel question

    I have made brief visits and am eager to visit for a thorough review. It sounds very promising and has potential for being a major hotspot. Very good for hummingbirds including Black-bellied and Green-fronted Lancebill, and the trails have produced such species as Black-breasted Wood-Quail...

    Costa Rica in august (Covid)

    This about sums up the current situation for visiting Costa Rica at the moment- not for everyone and not without various steps and costs. At first, buying one of a few specific health insurance policies offered in Costa Rica was obligatory. After blowback about that, a change was made to allow...

    Costa Rica in august (Covid)

    Still impossible to say when the borders will open. The next announcement/decision from the government about this will likely take place on June 30th. However, given a recent rise in cases in Costa Rica and elsewhere, I doubt very much that the country will be open by August.

    Eafn

    Interesting to hear about that discount offered by the EAFN. Given wide scale cancellations during part of the high season, every lodge and tourism venture in CR and most places have been impacted to varying degrees. Some that always have low occupancy rates during the next few months might...

    Birding San Gerado de Dota Without a Vehicle

    Sure would, that would be perfect. When the place started out in the 90s, that was the original plan. They were even building some cabins and the placed looked quite different. But, for whatever reason, the project came to a stop and had that caretaker ever since. The new owner is most...

    American Kestrel

    My immediate impression was Gray Hawk but yeah, could be a Broad-winged. One of those situations that could use another photo or two.

    Birding San Gerado de Dota Without a Vehicle

    Just a note that for the moment, El Tapir seems to not be as accessible. The place, or at least rights to the place were recently purchased by a local involved with ornithological projects. Some small construction has taken place as have plantings in the garden and a tall metal gate was put into...

    brown-crested flycatcher

    Either that one or Nutting's. Suspect Brown-crested but since they both look so similar, without more views and/or hearing it, I don't feel comfortable giving a positive ID.

    flycatcher Mexico #2

    Yes a Least Flycatcher based on the field marks mentioned. The only other very similar flycatcher sp. in that part of Mexico would be the other migrant Empids (Acadian, Yellow-bellied, Alder and Willow).

    Costa Rica Hummingbird IDs - February 2019 Last 5

    The Mountain-gem depends on where it was seen but likely White-throated. The other is a female Volcano based on the white tip and amount of black in the tail.

    Costa Rica Yellow-tailed vs juv Orchard

    Nice image of Orchard Oriole. Yellow-tailed is very rare in Costa Rica, does not normally occur at that site and has a yellow shoulder/wing bar among other features.

    Hacienda Solimar

    Not sure but I think they only take groups.

    Thanks for the kind comments. Yes, a skulker but can come in quite close in response to playback.
