parrots visit

Well it is officially the rainy season here. That means it rains at least once per day. Typically that seems to mean a rainy afternoon but sometimes the rain comes at night and sometimes all day. Everything is damp and somethings are moldy… welcome to the tropics!

One cool aspect of the rains is that lots of trees are fruiting and this means that frugivorous birds are very active when then find a good fruiting tree. Luckily for us there are a couple right near out cabin. Most afternoons I listen to the red-billed parrots in a tree high above our cabin but sometimes they come down to a tree level with our second floor balcony and less than 10m away. Here are a few pics we took for fun. Watching them feed was lots of fun and even though they were loud they didn't wake up Camilo from his nap!
