Double-toothed Kites

Another very productive morning for raptors with the immature Great Black Hawk putting in another appearance at 9am. Two Double-toothed Kites also flew over; another first for myself. Also present were three Red-tailed Hawks, a Barred Hawk, a Short-tailed Hawk, a Yellow-headed Caracara and three Broad-winged Hawks.

Earlier, a flock of about ten Brown-hooded Parrots flew over.

Double-toothed Kites - note the puffy white feathers at the base of the tail. They almost looked like parakeets as they were flying towards me.
Emerald Toucanet
Masked Tityra - this species is becoming more common at Cloudbridge now, having not seen any during November or December.
Silver-throated Tanager
Grey-capped Flycatcher
