Sandc Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 What bird is this? There were a few high on a tree. I heard loud beautiful sounds from outside I thought they were Oropendolas. But I took a picture and they were not Oropendolas. Then I thought they were black and white mockingbirds but the picture shows a bird with white underneath its tail. Black and white Mockingbirds, their tails are all black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aveschapinas Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 I agree with Brown Jays, but the "beautiful sounds" gives me pause LOL! In the future it would be best to be more specific about where you are in Central America; there are many different habitats and climate conditions in different parts of C.A. Assuming you weren't at a high elevation Brown Jay should fit, though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandc Posted December 26, 2021 Author Share Posted December 26, 2021 I am in Honduras. I meant the beautiful sound of Oropendolas, because I am sure that is what I heard. ? But when I read the reply of the Brown Jays I googled it and looked for videos of Brown Jays sounds and I know what you mean! I am still wondering why are heard Oropendolas though. Maybe they were on another tree!? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Honduras has any real highlands so that should be OK! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
