#555-#563 at Breakfast

The scent of eggs pulled us down from the roof for 45 minutes or so around 7:30 AM, but that didn’t stop the birding. During breakfast, we kept running to the windows as new birds appeared. Over scrambled eggs and sausage stew, we managed 11 species including 9 lifers:

565. Long-billed Hermit
566. Purple-crowned Fairy
567. Brown-capped Tyrannulet
568. Red-capped Manakin
569. Lesser Greenlet
570. Green Shrike-Vireo
571. Barn Swallow
572. White-shouldered Tanager
573. Palm Tanager
574. Blue Dacnis
575. Scarlet-rumped Cacique

Barn Swallow of course I’ve had in many other locations, and Palm Tanager I had before breakfast. This is shaping up to be a really great day.
