| Montezumo Oropendola, Arenal Observatory Lodge |
The Montezumo Oropendolas are large social birds here in Costa Rica, they are highly vocal and keep us company as we stalk down the more secretive and skulking birds of the forest around the Arenal Volcano.
The call, the fabulous flash of the yellow on the tail and the facial detail make for a very interesting bird.
It also nests colonially in large trees. These nests are an achievement in weaving, looking like large, hanging baskets.
