While sitting at our hideout the other day, I was excited to see a Red Tanager in the tree right next to us. I have seen one Blue Tanager here on the island, but never a red one, so this was a nice surprise. They really are much brighter in real life than in these photos.


Another rare bird shot. I caught both a male and female "Banana Bird" in the same tree. The male is on the left, the female is on the right. They are actually a type of Oriole, but the locals refer to them as "Banana Birds" because they build their nests under the banana tree leaves, and they look like little hammocks.
