On our first day at the hotel in Monteverde we did an early morning walk and I captured the first two shots in this set on faith. The birds were so far away that I just pointed my lens and trusted the guide. I am sorry that I do not have any ID on these first two shots, but when my bird app identified the first shot as a house sparrow, I knew that a North American bird app would be no help.

The rest of this set contains familiar birds on their southern vacation.

Comments and suggestions are welcome.

Cool set Mike. The second one is a Great Kiskadee, I'm working on the shore bird in No. 7

Thanks, Jack, now that you mention it, I remember that is what the guide said. Good luck on that other one.

Awesome job, well done, Mike If they have turkey vultures soaring all over down there, I would feel right at home 😜

That was over the river that joined the Pacific Ocean, Joe, most of the birds were familiar, but there were crocodiles instead of gators.
