Black Vulture - Punta Cangreja, Nicaragua In the yard of a little beach house on Lake Nicaragua, this Black Vulture was taking a break from some kind of feast in the front yard. The thing I love about this picture was the way the palm tree and coconuts in the back ground change the feel of the picture. Most times vultures aren't painted in a great light, but they do their fair share to keep the ecosystem renewed. Michael W Klotz - www.TheBirdBlogger.com
Black Vulture - Punta Cangreja, Nicaragua
It was a tad wet just before we saw these Magpie-Jays. OK it was a monsoon!. That didnt stop any of the critters from doing what they had to do as soon as the rain stopped. There was a mad dash for several caterpillars on the ground that these birds were watching intently. The photo was taken just out side of Los Mercedes on the south end of Lake Nicaragua. We were as close as you can get to the Costa Rican border without going over.
