2 weeks ago I went to Kvismare Bird Observatory to try to find this bird. I was lucky enough to see and hear 2 males. They are decreasing in numbers in my country and very rare here. A new lifer to me. :)

  4. Beautiful colors (I've seen two other kinds of buntings and I guess they all must be amazingly colored)...thanks for sharing this beauty.

  5. Hi again -- wasn't able to leave a comment on your Costa Rica site. Loved the hummingbirds and your commentary was funny. They were cute from any angle. And it was funny to think of that male bird whose job it is just to be beautiful ;>)
