The drilling on the trunk warned me there was a woodpecker nearby. I thought it would be looking for something to eat but I was mistaken. It was building a nest. Among the background sounds a Great Kiskadee (the one that begins), voices of Nenday Parakeet and somewhat in the middle the voice of a Solitary Black Cacique can be heard. This Solitary Black Cacique is in the following video

Two Harris's Hawks were flying in circles moving in a soft and synchronyzed dance. One carried something in the bill and it turned out to be a bunch of fruits. Will the lady have accepted it?
The white cedar fruit seems to have some charm as a token. Last year Carlos photographed another scene of token offering with this same fruitfruto.
