Thanks Bob - looks like a Red-Lored Amazon?? Sure want to make a trip to Honduras seeing everything you've posted. Today though, I'll have to settle for Teller Parks. Golden Crowned Sparrow has been hanging in the parking lot. :)

Bob,
More nice shots. Almost all of them are ones we saw in Belize. We missed the Scarlet Macaw :( I guess that makes sense if you mainly in the north of Honduras. Costa Rica is high on my list, too. My wife went there before I was a birder.
We were delighted when this guy(?) showed up in the fields just outside the village where we were staying.

Cool shot Tony...Honduras was really good...just wish I knew what I was looking at most of the time. I lost my bird book on a chicken bus towards the end of the trip with all my information. Still could identify most.
Callie...White Fronted Amazon.

Saw this at 6am last week in Hawaii. And no, it isn't a Canada goose that did a 50 yard dash in a 40 yard gym!

I just noticed the return of our local Ospreys to their nest site. There have begun to refurbish the nest and we are hoping for a successful nesting this year. Last year the nest failed for some reason.
While I was watching them, a pair of Peregrine Falcons flew in and around for a short while. Perhaps they will also nest in the area and we'll get two for the price of one.

Tony, very nice shot of the Peregrine! It almost looks like he has a band
on his left leg.

Reilly,
Yes, he has a metal (federal) band on one leg and a color (green) band on the other. I've contacted the Santa Cruz Predatory Bird Research Group to see if it might be one of the Peregrines that they have banded. Unfortunately, I couldn't quite read the number. If they do hang around and nest I hope I can get a shot of it perched.
I was told that the Osprey pair fledged two chicks the previous year, so I have high hopes of watching some develop this year. Stay tuned.

Hey Bob, I'm sure it was just a slip, but lest anyone be led astray, that last shot was a Ringed Kingfisher, not a Belted. Getting these two in the frame together should give folks an idea just how big these kingfishers are. They're BIG!!!!

What an awesome "page" starting with the Nene(?) through Tony's Peregrine Falcon, to Bob's photos to Willouby's identifications! Thanks you all, and there is room for more.
