lol, this was a sleepy bird. It was sitting in a tree behind the main building of Solimar. We was watching it for some time and you could see it actually was looking back through small slits in the eyes. But it did not move.

Phew, this photo really gave me trouble. I thought it would be a piece of cake to ID this one. But this was the only shot I have and it is from the back. In my book there are painted images and from the half front-side. And the colors are not good. It took me 2h to get the ID. :(

There are only little written on wiki on this bird. But can be found here: Spot-breasted_Oriole

If I lived in Costa Rica this bird would probably be a favorite. It seem to be so fun to study. It seem to like human company and thrives close to us.
