This is such an neat species, the only member of its genus in Yucatan, but restricted to a tiny coastal strip on the north of the peninsula. I really wanted to see it, so I memorized its song and calls, set aside a whole half day, and traveled to a spot overrun with enormous black mosquitoes... And of course, I saw it within thirty seconds of stepping out of the car, and ran into about ten or twelve vocal, conspicuous birds within a couple of hours! Posted 7 years ago
