La Selva (Costa Rica)...18 Feb


My second day of birding in Costa Rica may not have lived up to the first-pretty difficult when you get a Snowcap on the first day though-but La Selva's clearing was, as ever, bustling with activity: the shrubs with berries attracted Black-faced Grosbeak, the gorgeous Golden-hooded Tanager (which I have only just appreciated for its looks after these spectacular low looks at them that are not possible elsewhere), and Olive-backed Euphonia. While the football field (soccer to Americans!) was not the place I expected to see a punky male Great Currassow...






More from Costa Rica very, very soon...
