I've got so many pics from a recent two week KE "Walking and Wildlife" holiday that I'm going to put the better ones up in sections, starting with nice, big, easily identifiable birds! Please forgive some slightly poor ones, I was just getting used to the new camera and lens and many pics were taken at dawn and dusk in very dodgy light, or alternatively in the dark of the rainforest...
American Swallow-tailed Kite
American Kestrel
Black Vulture
Crested Caracara
Mangrove Black Hawk
Turkey Vulture
Roadside Hawk
Yellow-headed Caracara
As yet unidentified immature hawk that sat just above my head for a while!
There were a few others, but the pics are really poor long-range ID shots, I'll name them in a trip report when I finally get round to writing one...
"Let loose the Kraken!"
Wow amazing photos of some stunning birds! :D
Millie & Fly the Border Collies

I'm looking forward to reading your trip report.

Thank you everyone :-) Tonight I think I'll skip the established bird guide order and put up some colour - Toucans, Trogons and the odd Parrot...
Superb photos of fab birds, that first one is a real stunner.
Best wishes

Fabulous shots, Stuart. The American Swallow-tailed Kite is amazing. I like the Mangrove Black voicing its disapproval too. I'm dead envious of your trip and looking forward to seeing more.
