Gray-headed Chachalaca

Regular noisy visitors all around my house that I haven’t been trying to photograph much recently. Interesting chicken-sized “chatterboxes.” 🙂 The Gray-headed Chachalaca, Ortalis cinereiceps (linked to my gallery). Here he is in my slowly dying Cecropia Tree that I will replace in another year or so.

¡Pura Vida!

  1. I think they are in your yard because we shooed them away. 🙂 They chase the other birds away and monopolize the fruit feeder.
    The “family” will devour a banana almost as soon as I turn my back. . — however we still love them but they have not yet learned how to share. I think we will have a Special feeding time for them and then it’s somebody else’s turn. I think I need a squirt gun.😂

    1. 🙂 I can’t imagine them “sharing,” though this Sunday’s blog post will have my photo of one with two toucans perching in the same tree, almost side by side. ????
