    American Kestrel

    In the photos, it was changing the angle all the time. I think I remember it was windy, so I think that was the explanation.

    Unknown butterfly-moth

    I am not even sure whether this is a butterfly or a moth. I am interested in help with id. It felt even more well camouflaged at the time I saw it than in this image.

    Staring Contest

    I saw these two birds at a large distance, a Crested Oropendola and a Black-chested Jay. They were, as far as I know, not in touching distance at any time, but eventually, the oropendola took over the top seat and the jay disappeared.

    Another bird from right outside our balcony. I strongly believe this is a juvenile based on gape, buffy tint to wing markings, and overall grayness. Subspecies wetmorei.

    My second upload of this species today. I believe this was a second bird, who did not want to show its head. There are few enough images in the gallery that I felt both were warranted.
