Scarlet macaws and green kingfisher in Costa Rica

After 25 March 2014 near and on the Tarcoles river in Costa Rica, came 26 March 2016. Our last morning near the Tarcoles river. With birds like this common tody flycatcher.

On a rock in the river, a spotted sandpiper.

Leaf-cutter ants on two-lane highways across the grass: in one direction, ants with pieces of leaves. In the other direction, ants which still had to get pieces of leaf.

6:25. Two bare-throated tiger herons fly to a tree along the river.

A common tody flycatcher has nesting material in its bill.

A female green kingfisher.

Sometimes, sitting on a branch.

Sometimes, on a rock in the river.

A buff-rumped warbler along the river.

Then, an inca dove couple.

They clean their feathers.

A Philadelphia vireo.

8:47: as the bus to the south departs, white ibis flying.
