A Day At the Asa Wright Nature Center

From the veranda of the Asa Wright Hotel one can watch hummingbirds and other birds at a number of feeders. The hotel is on the extensive grounds of the Asa Wright Nature Center in Trinidad.

Some of the Birds We Saw

From the veranda — a Black-Throated Mango Hummingbird.
This and all the bird photos were taken by Len.

A Tufted Coquette: another hummingbird near the hotel.

A Copper-Rumped Hummingbird

A Blue-Chinned Sapphire Hummingbird

Crawling along the railing next to the feeders: not a hummingbird (photo by Mae).

On our morning hike: a Collared Trogon.

A Grey-Throated Leaftosser that we saw in the woods near the hotel.

 Disappointment

After a very long walk on steep paths, we reached the cave where the
very rare Oilbird sometimes can be seen.

No Oilbird in the cave today. This rare bird flies in the dark and uses 
echolocation somewhat like a bat.
