That big bunch of green palm berries in my October 25 post turned red in November and multiple creatures began to eat with the Chachalacas and Boat-billed Flycatchers the most possessive. Below this introductory photo is a gallery showing the “pecking order” for these particular palm berries when I was out to see it. Note that I never saw the iguanas eating them (though they do eat the Nance Berries) but that doesn’t mean they didn’t partake, I just never got a photo. And they would possibly be some competition to the Chachalacas, though those birds stay in families or flocks outnumbering others, as well as being the largest. 🙂

Note that this is the “pecking order” as I witnessed it, with possibly others eating when I was not out watching. And I did see one Rufous-backed Wren try to eat a berry, but the berries may be too large for them and they would be more timid maybe than even the Clay-colored Thrush. I saw a Boat-billed chase a Thrush away, but none of the birds interact with the squirrel in my presence. 🙂




¡Pura Vida!
