good capture!

[VII]

It's Woody's cousin Twiggy..

It seems to be a Crimson Crested Woodpecker, very common here, and one of the larger and more outstanding among 6 species of local woodpeckers..

[cornfused]

Not absolutely clear, the difference between the difference between the Lineated and the Crimson crested needs is not great. VII may be correct but again it seems to be one of these two species, of six that are present in TnT. These are the Crimson Crested, Lineated , Golden Olive, Chestnut and the Red Rumped Woodpeckers.`

And one species endemic to this platform, the peckerwood, also known as the RedVEVO

[maj. tom]

I see them all over, they attack rotting, dead trees to get the bugs and termites. The light pole rotten.

Was thinking Lineated also but the size compared to the pole made me go with the Crimson Crested,.I could be wrong because they're very similar still..

It was a metal pole...

I heard we making new species too.

Saw what looked like an agouti with ears like a rabbit Friday afternoon. Heard people mixing them, not sure how true or if it can be done.

And yes I know what an agouti looks like, saw one Friday morning.

Happy to see the Toucans around again....any given day by us, you will see agouti's, macaws, toucans, many parrots, alligators, parakeets, monkeys....my son loves this because he can see them feeding and in their natural habitat...way better than the zoo..

Yea, got em here too.

Noisy guys and they move in numbers.

Overcast bad so not the best shots.

The macaws are the noisiest. Saw a wild duck what morning it was chilling by the road. Cuz was telling me duck in the air have no owner, so pot for it. He want to know when to swing by.

Have some vicious birds too. They does fly and peck the window. Over and over and over. You can't take a late sleep if your ear plugs fall out. Is bang....bang.....bang..........bang..bang..bang......bang bang

I see real caiman get mash up on the highway. Uneducated people again.

How the snake population btw?

Link some pics nah abbow. You holding out on us.

Toucans come in from Venezuela with the illegal bird and animal trade.

They are NOT native to T&T .

[nervewrecker]

So they can't fly accross?

Have one of them big birds of prey, wingspan about 7 feet. Never seen one but men claim to have seen it here. I know it had a big ass nest in a tree that men cut down long ago. Can't remember why.

My kinda living, have been lucky to have those experiences at our homes...Even the monkeys, tufted capuccins and howlers peeling and drinking our coconuts and eatug mangoes...parakeets visiting pool by the flock early in the mornings and living in overhanging brush, snakes snakes snakes...all kinds from corals to racers to boas to checker bellies, to tigres, had a bad smell when a certain huge macajuel was around, iguanas of all sizes, from hatchlings to dinosaurs ....agouti and lappe in and around the yard throwing their frame and rolling down a hill and through the fence when they get startled.. ..parrots by the flock of course and then birds of prey with fish, snakes, iguanas etc in their claws passing low because we high anyway.....and a few big transient ones I suspect hanging out in a big tree every now and then..

If only the population could appreciate this place we would have a really special country, but the majority of people are selfish cynical numbskulls not worthy of a place like this...

Then the pink toed tarantulas by the dozens around the house and yard in July to September..mountain crab in the drain when rain falling etc..
