The Birds Of Tikal National Park

Yesterday, I posted about the travel aspect of Tikal National Park and because I had so many photos decided to split the birds off into their own post.  Tikal has quite an impressive bird list, with several of my targeted parrot species.  I’ll screenshot the parrots and leave you to visit the bird list on their website.  Remember, creating a successful birding adventure means identifying the species you most want to see and finding out the best places to see them.  I have highlighted in yellow the parrot species I saw at Tikal.  I did see the other species later in Costa Rica.  The subspecies of Olive-throated Parakeet found here is more commonly known as an Aztec Conure.  We saw a small flock near the Grand Plaza flying swiftly overhead-as conures do.

Montezuma Oropendulas were everywhere throughout the whole trip.
