Green-backed Sparrow (Arremonops chloronotus) - 15Apr2019

One of the few birds singing this particular morning in the forest south of Tulum, it took a while for me to actually locate it.  It's always frustrating looking for an incessantly singing bird that sounds close but remains hidden, until it is found of course which makes it all the more satisfying.  This particular site (Muyil) was extra fun because there were archeological structures blending in with the jungle mixed in with birds.  Most of the archeological sites we visited were crawling with tourists and the manicured grounds stole the authenticity of the places.  Muyil was covered in vines and built in the jungle so it felt very real and that a Mayan would jump out from behind something at any moment.
