Birdwatching in Kabalebo! - day 7

3/23/2015

 
Picture
Usually during a birding trip we try to spot as many birds as we can. But this time I also got a 'wish list' for what to look for and they gave me 3 days to complete the task. On day 1: in search of the Harpy Eagle.
Wednesday: March 18, 2015
For 3 days I was accompanied by Pieter and Cornelis. Their goal was to see as much as possible, but they also had a 'wish list' or as some call it a 'bucket list'. Both were very excited and also couldn't wait to start. Right after finishing breakfast we started our trip.
Picture
As it was early in the morning, it was still misty outside. But the sun came slowly into action. The boatsmen were also into the action and they spotted this beauty: a White Hawk. 
Picture
The jungle came to life and we were surrounded by 'mysterious' noises and the birds started to appear too. Here we spotted an Orange-winged Amazon couple. 
Picture
These White-banded Swallows were resting close to the Kabalebo river. Since we were drifting it was also easy to photograph them as a group. But they usually fly away just when the boat is passing by too close.
Picture
The Great Black Hawk was resting on a log, while the boat was passing by. 
Picture
The Crimson-Crested Woodpecker was also present for the day.
Picture
We spotted this bird on several places: the Double-toothed Kite.
Picture
Three-in-a-row: Ladder-tailed Nightjars! Males and female on a branch. 
Picture
One resident who never disappoints: the Cocoi Heron. 
Picture
The Smooth-fronted Caiman didn't mind the attention at all. 
Picture
The Green Ibis was one of the birds that they wanted to see. This one gave them a hard time as it kept flying away, but in the end they succeeded.
Picture
Here we spotted the Anhinga while it was drying its feathers. 
Picture
We heard some noises in the dense vegetation, a group of Common Squirrel Monkeys were on the go. During their journey they grabbed something to eat from the Inga tree. 
Picture
While the mother was eating, the young was still clinging on its mothers' back. It kept looking at us during the whole lunch break.
Picture
Brown Capuchin Monkeys were also spotted in the group. This was an interesting one: you can clearly see a cross 'marked' on its forehead. 
Picture
The Kingfishers were also on the list for photography. It is not an easy task as they like to fly away at the wrong time. I was lucky enough to take a photo of this Ringed Kingfisher just in the nick of time.

Bird of the day: the Harpy Eagle. The whole morning we were looking for this impressive bird of prey and it was their lucky day. For both Pieter and Cornelis it was the first time in their life that they spotted the Harpy Eagle. This beauty just caught its lunch: a Great Green Iguana. It made their day!
