Animal Diversity Web – Part 2

More photos that I contributed to the Animal Diversity Web that were downloaded as less than optimal quality scans from their site. One day I’ll scan the original slides which are better quality.

An Altimira Oriole in a Bombax Tree at Coba, Mexico in the 1980s.

Bared Antshrike at Palenque, Mexico in the state of Chiapas.

Brown basalisk at Coba, Mexico. Green Basalisk at La Selva, Costa Rica. These are also called Jesus Christ Lizards because of their ability to run across the surface of water which is quite amazing to watch.

Collared Araçari, Aqua Azul, Chiapas, Mexico.

Smooth-billed Anis. The one on the post is from Tecolutla, Veracruz, Mexico. The other from near Tulum, Quintana Roo, Mexico.

Howler Monkeys are perhaps my favorite monkeys in Central America. This one was seen and photographed at the ruins at Palenque, Chiapas, Mexico.

Royal Flycatcher taking food to his nesting female in Costa Rica.

Ruddy Crake, a small rail that is quite common at Lago Coba, Quintana Roo, Mexico.
