A rather strange lifer for me from last month. I had seen a lot of these when I lived in the US but I wasn't a birder then. They have only moved to northern Guatemala in recent years, and still remain a very exciting rare sighting. Everyone managed to see them during the Christmas Bird Count activity at the Estación Biológico Las Guacamayas en El Petén.
