Zonotrichia_capensis-chingolo We stayed for a day on a friends farm. Her cows and all the wildlife that can stand the high winds at 1200m above sea level are a long way from town, it is like a windy bit of heaven.<br />
When the cows came in to milk, so did the highland sparrows. It is interesting how both queue up at a given time. Costa Rica,Geotagged,Rufous-collared sparrow,Winter,Zonotrichia,Zonotrichia capensis,ave,bird,pajarito,sparrow Click/tap to enlarge Promoted

The rufous-collared sparrow is an American sparrow found in a wide range of habitats, often near humans, from the extreme south-east of Mexico to Tierra del Fuego, and on the island of Hispaniola.
