What kind of parrots did you see? We have not seen any green parrots on this trip so far, Tikal or anywhere else.Sun-Linghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698854617881648602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20810230.post-80343879813045845142012-12-13T22:56:30.205-05:002012-12-13T22:56:30.205-05:00I stayed in a covered hammock a couple nights when...I stayed in a covered hammock a couple nights when I visited Tikal--the howler monkeys made sleep erratic. It was worth it to watch the parrots take flight from El Mundo Perdido at sunrise...<br />Kathleen cusicknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20810230.post-31269147722640726082012-12-08T13:52:32.642-05:002012-12-08T13:52:32.642-05:00@Dayle, I only liked Guajolote Ocelado o Pavo de M...@Dayle, I only liked Guajolote Ocelado o Pavo de Monte o Pavo Ocelado.

Aren't they cool running around with their tails straight up?! Los monos (or los changos as my Mexican clients call them) were neat too and the turkeys were colorful (though I heard people calling them pavo real which confused me as pavo real should be a peacock).

I look forward to your post about Flores. Tengan cuidado! A word of caution, the bus station on other side of bridge had a very bad reputation, especially in early hours. A kind older local woman made me promise to take a taxi instead of walk there and said she would never permit a family member to walk there on their own.
