Still waiting for the moths...
Where are those moths anyway? I know, still too cool at night - though my light is blazing tonight so maybe I'll get lucky...
Here are a few pix from the white sand forests near Iquitos in northern Peru. I hope you like them.
A Yellow-rumped Cacique in all its black-and-yellow glory. A very common bird throughout Amazonia.
A Maroon-tailed Parakeet at a nest hole. We watched this bird at close range for ages, the best views I'd ever had.
A fine Chestnut-capped Puffbird. Any sighting of a Puffbird is great but this is a particularly nice one...
A Paradise Jacamar looking for prey from atop a lofty branch. Brilliant birds, they are always a pleasure to watch.
A Scale-breasted Woodpecker at a nest hole. I've only seen this handsome pecker a few times so it was nice to have the chance to watch one for a prolonged period.
A Lesser Kiskadee. This narrow-billed tyrant likes to sit and wait for prey on the edges of lakes and large rivers. Although superficially similar to several other related species the bill shape sets it apart.

Do you have a picture of the Dogon Trogon? They are found in Mali, I believe.
In keeping with the spirit of this blog in the past: so, you watched a handsome pecker going in and out of a hole for some time? I prefer doing, not watching. I'm really sorry, but you set yourself up for this one, Dave.
Wanted to add that my lady friend is fascinated with your woody photo for some reason and I'm getting jealous. She wants to know how big that pecker is. How many inches?
It does look quite impressive.
Dear anon,
I'm all for action rather than words myself but I have to admit to NOT having amorous thoughts whilst watching woodpeckers going about their daily routines. Maybe I'm unusual in this respect - please advise. It didn't actually go into the hole anyway...
And, this particular species is not one of the bigger types Mr. Longfellow - sorry to disappoint yer lady friend. So, no need for envy! BTW - speaking of inches, you're not trying to compensate for something what with that name of yours are ya?
