White-throated Magpie-Jay - Las Mercedes, 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.
