Blue-grey Tanager (Thraupis episcopus)

What a silly billy!

My apologies.

I previously inadvertently posted the wrong photo, but here IS one of the Blue-grey Tanagers I found on my last day in Costa Rica, when I was butterfly hunting.

Lively, cheeky and fun to watch:

      I actually spotted it before I saw your email, because I've been re-editing older photos, but well-spotted.

      I need to find out what the other bird was, now.       Posted 4 years ago

        You can just post the other bird without the ID yet, somebody surely will help to get it identified. Posted 4 years ago

            Careful to mention Nessy online. The government is watching and I think this is why they installed 5G equipment near the lake. They don't want you to know! Posted 4 years ago
