Costa Rican bird photos

This is a photo of a rufous-collared sparrow, from 14 March 2014, in Alajuela, Costa Rica.

I must apologize to my readers for the somewhat chaotic order of my blog posts on Costa Rica.

After writing about 15 March, I now go back to 14 March bird photos, taken in Alajuela. Here come some pictures of birds on a flowering tree.

First, a rufous-tailed hummingbird.

Then, two rose-breasted grosbeaks, a female and male. They spend the winter here, away from their native North America.

While this tropical kingbird stays here all year.

In the same tree, a Hoffmann’s woodpecker (also pictured here).

Finally, from the same flowering tree, a male Baltimore oriole, wintering here, nesting in North America.

A turkey vulture, flying around.

Finally, a male masked tityra.
