2013-11-29   Calakmul, Campeche (Cam), Mexico

Subspecies: rubra
Male. Unmistakable. We saw about 20 birds during the day - along the road and inside the ruin complex. A high number comparing with reports of others. Perhaps caused by unusual cold weather which might have animated the birds to be more active? Yucatán 2013.

2016-01-08   Tikal PN, Petén, Guatemala

Subspecies: rubra
Male. Unmistakable. A pair stay around the workers camp, where the cook feeds them leftovers. The photos is from earlier in the morning before they approach the feeding area. They normally come out in the open around the eating area, but stayed inside the brush while I was there - probably sensing that something wasn't normal.


Happy Birding
