Ruby Topaz and Stripe-cheeked Woodpecker

Ismael "Nando" Quiroz photographed this male Ruby Topaz at the Canopy Camp on January 30 at 5:30 pm.

Also present was a dull-plumaged bird, perhaps a juvenile?



Both birds have been coming to the verbenas around camp for the last few days, always at the same time of day. Also, this female Stripe-cheeked Woodpecker was at the San Francisco Reserve on January 31.
