Just back from a trip to Costa Rica, apparently they have lots of birbs.            If anyone can id them that'd be cool to know because I only recognize the toucan and the parrots

Awesome set of birb photos! A lot of those have ranges into the US too so I was actually able to help with most of these.mobby_6kl posted:Just back from a trip to Costa Rica, apparently they have lots of birbs. quote:quote:quote:quote:quote:quote:quote:quote:quote:quote:If anyone can id them that'd be cool to know because I only recognize the toucan and the parrots [/quote]

Plz let me know if robin posting is becoming boring but... Yesterday I came downstairs after dark to let the dog out, and when I went into the dark front hall, I noticed that there was a strange silhouette visible in front of the fanlight. Our very brave robin boy had come inside for a visit and had gotten trapped hours earlier. I turned on all the lights leading from the hall to the front steps, but it took a good 15 minutes of conversation and gentle poking to get my dear robin husband to go back outside. At no point was he upset or frightened, I just needed to give him time to work out the best way to get outside. I had to poke him gently with a golf club to get him down to a place where flying outside was possible, and the club was about 2 inches from him before he moved. The only thing really annoying him was all the spiderwebs caught in his toes, they were super-sticky bad photo of the sleepy trapped gentleman  He was back for his breakfast this morning, so my poking him with a golf club does not seem to have caused any long-lasting offence.

Pookah posted:Plz let me know if robin posting is becoming boring but...  Kidding aside, I love all the pictures & stories in your posts, your robins are way cuter & seem to have more personality than our US version. Can't remember if it was here or one of the other cute/critter threads but I distinctly recall a video, maybe a TikTok that had an Irish girl with a robin eating out of her hand. She was speaking gently to it & it would peep back or puff up & pick at the seeds in her hand. It was super sweet, like she unlocked some secret Disney dimension

We watched this bird catch a very large beetle then proceed to beat the poo poo out of it to break it into smaller bits it could eat. https://i.imgur.com/7KVFiPG.mp4 (this was in the Japanese Gardens in Buenos Aires last week)

It's some kind of flycatcher in the Kiskadee / Boat-billed/Social Flycatcher part of the book... maybe there's a list for that park that would help you narrow down the options.

Oh yeah there was another birb in CR that I forgot to post that also got a giant catch, though I now think it might be an Anhinga?  Poor fish though that looks uncomfortable

Pookah posted:Found it! THANK YOU  I watch pro wrestling & her voice reminds me of Becky Lynch, I love the little chatter it makes when she says "you're like a puddin'" as if its so offended at the nickname lolWhen the weather clears up I may have to get some pics & video of the 3-4 squirrels that hang around. One in particular will legit come right up to my patio door in the mornings & evenings, not tame but pretty dang close. Some days it'll hop right over & almost try to come inside to find where I'm keeping the goods  wildlife in general can be a trip but when you really earn that trust, it opens up a whole other world that you might've been unaware of before.E: forgot to ask: is any of the chattering/chirping in that video matching up to what you heard with that little group & their soft songs? Curious if this one was trying to impress or thought the girl was a potential mate, then went off when he realized things weren't working BOOTY-ADE has a new favorite as of 02:19 on Jan 20, 2024 |

BOOTY-ADE posted:THANK YOU I'm only a very amateur robinologist, but that does look like the bird is responding to her voice - the song is not the very quiet one, but it's in little short phrases, not the long one they do to declare their territory, plus he/she looks right up into her face. There is a least one other robin in the area, I can hear them singing a few times in the background, so her bird friend might also be talking to them.
