This will be my last entry to Costa Rican birds. Thanks to everyone who visited this blog and my work here. I managed to shot and identify 196 species during the 16 days I was birding there. And there are some shots too I could not identify. So probably I shot 200 birds. At least. The groups (14 people)  total, seen and/or heard, was 500 species.

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.

For now I am a bit tired of checking species ID:s so I am skipping ahead a little. Wanted to show you guys something colorful and sweet. :) It is not that hard to shoot them at a feeder. But to catch them in natural habitat is a true challenge.
