On Day 4 we spent our last full day in the Riohacha area with a long session at a place called Cari Cari. This was an epic walk down a dirt road with no traffic starting in thorn scrub then meandering past some ponds and eventually ending at some wetlands. When all was said and done we had close to 100 species in 4 hours.
Our only Striped Cuckoo of the trip was just barely close enough for a photo.
Glaucous Tanagers
Rufous-browed Peppershrike
White-collared Swift
You will be glad to hear that these pictures with weird pixellation will be a thing of the past for me. I just purchased a new EOS 7D.
Red-billed Emerald
Chestnut Piculet
Trinidad Euphonia and not sure about the other one but maybe a Blue-black Grassquit.
White-whiskered Spinetail - we had three different species of spinetail.
Chestnut Piculets again.
Male Pileated Finch
Rufous-tailed Jacamar
Yellow Oriole
Blue-black Grassquit
Yellow-chinned Spinetail
Spot-breasted Woodpecker
Yellow-hooded Blackbird
Ferruginous Pygmy-Owl
Bare-faced Ibis
Wattled Jacana
Dwarf Cuckoo
Green-rumped Parrotlet
Savannah Hawk
Black-collared Hawk
Black-crested Antshrike
Gray Seedeater
Lesser Yellow-headed Vulture
Greater Anis
Green Ibis
The bird of the day (not mine) was a Blue-winged Teal mainly because it was out of season.
Red-breasted Meadowlark - I had wandered off from the group a bit and was the only one to see these specialty birds. I tried to get the group but the birds had left before they could peep them.
Pale-breasted Spinetail
Barred Antshrike
Wattled Jacana
Tropical Gnatcatcher
Birding in Colombia is mentally exhausting. So many lifers... and only in about 4 hours. Virgilio was waiting for us with a nice picnic lunch and some coffee.. Awesome.
