Costa Rica Bird Photos and request for identification help
I have posted to my Flickr site a few hundred photos(95% birds) from our 8 days in Monteverde, Costa Rica last week. Unfortunately, I do not have proper identifications for a number of the birds and would appreciate assistance from anyone bored enough to view my photos, who can offer me identification assistance. I have started adding identifications of many of the images,(and there are many with multiple images of a bird where I have just supplied an id for one image so far), but many remain elusive and impending knee surgery may keep me from completing the task for a while..
Since many of the birds pictured are familiar locally, perhaps you can view them as a surrogate migration....Kindly e mail me with your identifications or corrections, referring to the image number, at jnrose24@aol.com, or simply add your id in the comments section under each image.The pictures can be viewed in a separate album at
https://www.flickr.com/photos/joelnrosenthal/albums/72157666476376631
or in the photostream at https://www.flickr.com/photos/joelnrosenthal/. Thank you in advance for your help.

Addendum : Bird poetry
My wife, who has written poems about leaf cutter ants and the Circle of Willis, chronicled part of our stay at the San Gerardo Biological Station with the following poem(bird references on request):
" 2 PM At The Biological Station"
________________________________________
I was in the forest with a man who dreamed of red thighs
and another in search of the raptor migration.
The dink stopped clinking,
Kites over the harbor.
Nothing wrong with the Hepatic Tanager.
No sign of the Umbrellabird.
" Two together somewhere across the top."
" Passerini, branch with brown leaves on."
The lake is turning blue,
Mist and clouds over the volcano.
" Bloody poacher!"
Detected vapor...
