Life list boost

CAVEAT: All apologies due serious birders. I fully realize the following list will induce severe envy on their part. This envy can be resolved by visiting many of the places I will visit, including Domitila Private Wildlife Reserve.

David Davenport, EcoQuest Travel, brought a group of high school students from Raleigh, NC to Domitila while I was there. He kindly let me accompany he and his group on five hikes they took Friday and Saturday morning. As a result I saw and knew what I was looking at more than I otherwise would have.

Here is the list.

Birds:
Magpie Jay
Oropendula
Mangrove Cuckoo
Black Headed Trogan
Whiteheaded Puffbird
Brown Crested Flycatcher
Yellow Throated Vireo
Turquoise Motmot
Squirrel Cuckoo
Wild Muscovie
Tri-colored Heron
Barethroated Tiger Heron
Northern Potoo
Crested Caracara

Herps:
Yellow-headed Gecko
Mexican Parrot State
Banded Gecko

Mammals:
Prehensile Tail Porcupine
Four-eyed Opossum, Philander Opossum

Insects:
Tarantula
Tailless Whip Scorpian
Scorpian (specific type unknown)
