Gray-headed Chacalaca pair
Not sure if that kiss was stolen or not. At any rate, we stayed at the La Cusinga lodge in Costa Rica where they had what we christened "The Terrace of Dreams". It was a large terrace built at tree canopy level in the rainforest with a view of the Pacific Ocean and it was heaven. You could relax there all day in a comfortable chair with a cold drink and watch the upper canopy wildlife (birds, monkeys, reptiles) in style - much better than a rainforest canopy "walkway". These were fairly common and fun to watch.
The grey-headed chachalaca is a member of an ancient group of birds of the Cracidae family, which are related to the Australasian mound builders. It breeds in lowlands from eastern Honduras to northwestern Colombia at up to 1,100 m altitude.
