Edgar and I had a few meals at a nice hotel called Villa Paraiso on Ometepe. It's on Lake Nicaragua. You eat outdoors, which is actually not uncommon in Nicaraguan restaurants where the line between indoors and outdoors often blurs. But unlike most restaurants, this one has beautiful tropical birds that come hang out in the trees ten feet away from where you're dining. I took these photos from our dinner table. Unfortunately, I don't know what sort of bird this is, but if you tell me, I'll be happy to credit you.

Update: As John pointed it, it appears to be a White-throated Magpie-Jay. That's a lot of hyphens for one bird. They seem to be quite friendly, or at least don't mind posing for photos.
