Plain Chachalaca (Ortalis vetula pallidiventris) - 20110123-04

            Large chickenlike bird found in brushy woodland. Olive-brown overall with warmer buffy belly and long tail and neck. Bare red moustache is usually hidden. Tail feathers have white tips. Extremely noisy and full of character. Small groups crash through the brush from tree to tree with the grace of a large bulldozer. Often heard "singing" a cacophony of grating shouts and squawks. Feeds mainly on fruit.  (eBird)

These birds are enjoying the fruit feeding station at our resort.  Each morning, staff provided papaya and other food to attract the birds, which in turn attracted the birders to their breakfast :)
