To add to what Alex Harper is stating, there is a new record for Greater Ani from Costa Rica (Jan 2010):
"On Jan 19, 2010 Daryl Loth of Casa Marbella found a lone Greater Ani in Tortuguero in the park along the Rio Tortuguero about 400 m north of the entrance to Canos Harold, Chequero y Mora. This is the second appearance of this species in Costa Rica. The first time a lone bird was seen for several months in late 2004-early 2005 in this same area. Before this first sighting the species had not been reported west of central Panama."
In addition, I recorded a lone Greater Ani in Manabi Province in Western Ecuador during my 2 1/2 month trip through the -- outside of its usual range in the Amazon Basin of that country. There is some history of vagrancy and wandering recorded for this species.
