Grenada: Yellow-bellied Elaenia

One morning we took a hike up the hill to the road that runs above the resort to get a closer look at who was hanging around in the trees up there. After all, you can only bird from a lounge chair for so long, and we figured even if we didn't see any different birds we would at least work off some of the extra calories we consumed in the form of those delicious rum punches. We love the birds with the fancy crests, so we were glad to see this little one and tracked it for a while hoping Mike would get some good shots of it. It was eventually very cooperative and settled into some unobstructed poses high in the trees.
