LOU57192 Montezuma Oropendola Nests

The female builds the nest from banana tree fibres, then calls for the male to approve the nest. If he does, they mate. If he does not, he will tear the nest to shreds and the female must contruct another. This image was taken at Maquenque Ecolodge near the Carribian Coast.
