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.

A nice little bird and I wish I had seen the female as well. But it seem to be a rule somewhere that females are not visible. :(

In my opinion this is a mean looking bird. :) It seems like they don´t eat ants but follow the army ants and prey of what they flush out of hiding. They live on the Caribean side of CR.

About  Fasciated Antshrike on Avainweb, there are some shots but not much info about it. :(
