Harpy Eagles weren't the only thing we saw at Rancho Frio in Darien National Park. Red-throated Caracara was another memorable bird that was quite common here.
It's a fairly unique bird to look at; it's a crazy bird to hear. If a parrot could get high on meth and then channeled its inner OutOfControlLittleLeagueDad, it might sound something like this...
I never managed to video one squawking out of control, but they were something else once they got going.
Stripe-throated Wren was another vocal species.
Tropical wrens are just a bear to see, they're a lot more satisfying to learn by ear.
It'd be hard to learn this next bird by ear.
It's a Golden-crowned Spadebill. They have fairly nondescript insect-like calls that go along with their tiny size.
We had a bonus Gray-cheeked Nunlet appear amidst a little mixed flock
Finally some Black Vultures above Canopy Camp ending a memorable day.
