We heard and even saw hundreds from a distance. Two club members had big lenses on their camera and I’m sure got much better photos. This is what I could do with my cheap 300 mm lens. Many have been cropped and enlarged to the point of almost seeing dots, but I’m still happy with these 13! 🙂

White-fronted Parrots Yorkin River Bribri Indigenous People Forest, Costa Rica
And the Blue-headed Parrots photos were even darker silhouettes than these, plus another 10 or so bird photos that are not very good and/or unidentified. It was an effort to photograph in mostly poor light of a dark rainforest with overcast or rainy skies while wading through mud. So with those conditions and my amateur camera, I’m happy to have gotten these photos! I’m easy to please! 🙂
They will eventually be added to my Costa Rica BirdsPHOTO GALLERY, so check it out sometime for a lot more bird photos collected over the last six and a half years in Costa Rica.

And yesterday’s post on Bribri Insects has been updated with a correct identification on the unsure one and three more butterflies added!
Thanks, Charlie! You'll see these pictures added to our Birding Club of Costa Rica Website soon on the August, 2015 Tweeter and 2015 Yorkin Trip pages. (with due credit, of course).
