Montezuma Oropendola
Boca Tapada
If you ever go walking through the rainforest in Costa Rica and hear something that sounds like a malfunctioning robot, chances are you've run into a Montezuma oropendola, an absolutely massive member of the blackbird family with a voice box that could rival any mockingbird. They have a variety of calls that range from mechanical squeaks and whistles, some of which are performed as they swing upside-down from a branch, to a noise that sounds just like radio static. Voracious eaters, they often arrive in groups, breaking small branches and gulping down whatever they can find, which doesn't win them any popularity contests with people who maintain backyard feeding stations. Nevertheless, I find them kind of pretty with their golden yellow tails and triangular heads, so when this adult came in shortly after sunrise, I was ready with the camera for him.
