renamed by birders to Moss-Backed Tanager Rd, and for good reason. This is one of the only places to reliably find them. We had good luck almost immediately seeing them and a multitude of other tanagers including Rufous-Throated Tanager, Golden Tanager, Gray-and-Gold Tanager, Bay-headed Tanager, Beryl-spangled Tanager, Moss-Backed Tanager, Swallow Tanager, Lemon-rumped Tanager (everywhere!), and Ochre-breasted Tanager. One pleasant surprise while walking along the road from where we parked was running into a nesting pair of Tiny Hawks. More

We still haven't found a Moss-backed Tanager, but Iain takes us to an overlook where we can scan the treetops. We don't find what we're looking for, but we do find a Maroon-tailed Parakeet preening at the top of a tree, and an Olive-crowned Yellowthroat makes an appearance in the bushes in front of us. The fields and edges are full of new granivores, and we are able to pick up Dull-colored Grassquit, Slate-colored Grosbeak, Tricolored Brush-Finch, and Black-striped Sparrow pretty easily. More
