This bird was sooo much fun to watch and this time I was a bit regretting that I was in  group. The group just hurried along refused to enjoy this bird trying to fight off it´s rival. Leaving me to take some snap shots and then to run after them. At least I took some shots, it is a very nice memory.

High up in a tree it sat. Hard to fine except for our guide Herman. This bird is the 150th species I post from my CR trip. Still has a lot to post though. Enjoy the yoputube video.
