Georgetown Birding - Part III

This obliging STRIATED HERON greeted me at the main gate this morning
 
 as were a good number of 
SNAIL KITE
 
 Adult Bird
 Thought to be in final year of maturity?
 An Immature
Thought to be a very good find,
 but looking 'grumpy'?
 Painted Tody-Flycatcher was certainly on my list of prospective additions
 
 
 but remain convinced that this is a 
SPOTTED TODY-FLYCATCHER
 
 STRAIGHT-BILLED WOODCREEPER
 was followed in very quick succession, and in the same tree, by
 STRIPED WOODCREEPER
with both disappearing as this bright little fella arrived
 a male THICK-BILLED EUPHONIA
 accompanied by his much more dowdy lady!
 WATTLED JACANA
 
 WING-BARRED SEEDEATER
 was another 'lifer'
 but a little dull in comparison to this beautifully marked
 YELLOW ORIOLE
 Not one, but a pair of
 YELLOW-CHINNED SPINETAIL
I feel sure Mr Penney particularly will be interested in seeing these 2 YELLOW-CROWNED AMAZON, but am still at a lost as to whether they are now known as PARROT and not AMAZON (I prefer the latter).
This lone YELLOW-RUMPED CACIQUE brings the 'set' to a close for another day, but rest assured your Outside Correspondent will be there again manana - Keep Watching!
