Out of hand

With a real lens now, I am excited to see almost any bird again! Even this boring Common Tody Flycatcher, how common:

Or this filthy Slaty-tailed Trogon...

We caught this guy later on in the day (Western Slaty Antshrike):

Ocassionally imitating a calling bird will bring them in, so after hearing some low whistling from an unknown group in the treetops I repeated it a few times and drew in a small flock of Purple-throated Fruitcrows.

Common Tody-Flycatcher

We caught one of these today, and only one other since we've been here. They're fairly common but general stick to heights above our nets. They're also loud, especially for their size, at around 6.5 grams...
