A gorgeous Lesser Violetear posed just long enough for me to get this shot. This bird is found in the same montane regions as yesterday’s fiery-throated hummer, but with an extended range down into the mountains of South America. _____ #lesserv

Amazing Fiery-throated Hummingbird! This species is endemic to the montane ecosystem along a ridge of mountains from Costa Rica and into western Panama. As such we found this one at an elevation of 9,000 ft. _____ #fierythroatedhummingbird #hummingb

It was so thrilling to find this Ferruginous Pygmy-Owl on our first morning after arriving in Costa Rica! Really interesting to see the false eye spots on the back of their head (see second photo). _____ #ferruginouspygmyowl #pygmyowl #owls #owlsofin

Returned home from Costa Rica just in time to see a vagrant Swainson’s Hawk in my area - a western bird that should be in Central or South America right now for winter. On my trip I saw nearly 300 species of birds, so stay tuned for selections

This juvenile Scissor-tailed Flycatcher has been hanging around in New England for weeks, but belongs far south of here and should be migrating to Central America by now. Hope he heads down to warmer climes before winter weather really sets in. ____

Eastern Kingbird on the edge of a saltmarsh a few weeks ago. If you look carefully you can just see the tips of the feathers that make up its hidden red crown, which is normally concealed until the need arises to ward off a threat. _____ #easternkin
