  1. Love their pointy beak. Very nice find, it seems to have a pretty small range. Posted 7 years ago
    1. Not really? From southern Mexico to Colombia isn't bad. But Yucatan is indeed excellent for icterids. I had seven species in one day, six of which were residents! The more restricted one in that area is the orange oriole, which is a Yucatan endemic. I've got a photo of it a bit further in this series. Posted 7 years ago
