After wrapping up our time in the highlands of Honduras, Chris Lotz (owner of international bird tour company Birding Ecotours ) and I arrived at the deservedly famous Pico Bonito Lodge.

We had dear guests from the Middle East staying with us on Monday, my usual birding day. So this week, instead of writing about my latest outing, which did not happen, I will talk about a few of my favorite birds. We were entranced, and my interest in birds increased.
