Outstanding! I am quite sure these photos are the first I have ever seen of this bird, and they are marvelous.

Thank you all for taking the time to comment; I appreciate it. We also saw dozens of Crested Oropendolas, but they always flew in just at dusk and my photos of them leave something to be desired.

Thank you for commenting, Brad; I appreciate it. They are actually a member of the Icteridae family, related to blackbirds. And their three-foot long hanging nests are really something to see.
