the restaurant, we saw a singing golden-crowned flycatcher looking at us, 2 slate-throated whitestarts, a black phoebe, a silver-beaked tanager and a white-throated tyrannulet. They were all in the same tree and they moved a lot. They almost gave us a headache with their movements. Around the pool, we found again a rich activity. Five blue-gray tanagers were sharing our banana baits with two saffron-crowned tanagers, a silver-beaked tanager, a plumbeous-crowned tyrannulet, a citrine warbler and a southern-house wren. More
