Exploring the World with a Camera
Montezuma Oropendola
Posted on February 13, 2023
This spectacular large black bird has a song that is some what of a gurgling sound like water being poured from a bottle. This one was flying from one tree to another near where I was staying in Uvita, Costa Rica. You can go to this site and click on listen to hear its song. https://birdsoftheworld.org/bow/species/monoro1/cur/introduction

Great Curassow

This rare and very large game bird was almost hunted to extinction. I took this early in the morning at the Oro Verde Reserve, Costa Rica where hunting is not allowed.
Boat-Billed Heron
Posted on December 11, 2022
Herons have a specialized downy feather that doesn’t molt and grows continuously throughout the bird’s life. The ends break off as a powder that the heron then uses while preening to waterproof its other feathers.

Protecting Territory
Posted on April 25, 2018
The Oriental Magpie (Copsychus caularis) is very territorial. This is particularly true during breeding season from February to September. After fighting for a number of minutes, both birds flew off seemingly unharmed. Cheng long, Kohou Township, Yunlin County, Taiwan. April 24, 2018

The African Sacred Ibis (Threskiornis aethiopicus)
Posted on April 24, 2018
This bird revered in ancient Egypt, and associated with the god Thoth, is posing an environmental threat in Taiwan. It escaped from a zoo 20 years ago. The African Sacred Ibis has also been identified as a pest species in France, Italy, Spain, and the United States. The predatory species poses a threat to local species that share a similar biological niche, such as various species of egrets, Herons, and terns.
