Long-tailed silky flycatchers and band-tailed pigeons in Costa Rica

Still 18 March 2014 in the highlands of Costa Rica. After the hummingbirds and the coati earlier in the day, we went higher up the mountains, and saw long-tailed silky flycatchers.

This species lives only in the mountains of Costa Rica and western Panama.

A male and a female sat together in a tree.

Two band-tailed pigeons sat in another tree.

As we walked back again, we saw (probably other) long-tailed silky flycatchers again.

They were feeding on berries.

Flowers were there as well. More other flowers, like orchids, will have to wait till a later blog post.
