Sitting in the trees of Parque Del Este (Parque Generalisimo Francisco De Miranda ) Near Cerro del Avila a big mountain chain near Caracas. Venezuela.

Notes:

I heard rustling in the tree top while we were watching the sloths ( see http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/494081226) and I saw a bird eye looking at me ( picture 5&6) (after zooming in with my camera!)
I took several pictures before I noticed there were actually two birds sitting there (the first 4 pictures )
You can see the orange patch in the wing of the "second" bird and its blueish under feathers.
