Nesting Oropendolas

This is the time of year when Oropendolas build their long hanging-basket nests in the trees. I flock picks out a suitable tree, in this case a Corotu tree and there can be as many as 40-50 nests in one tree.

 

As you can see these are large brightly colored birds, almost cartoonish in their contrasting colors.
