And I'm ready to sleep- long day today. I promise I will try tomorrow (not sure I can succeed!) Did you say " disguise" - that is perfect one, any time I fail to identify a bird I'm going to use it (no "TM" next to your original posting
Of course I wouldn't want you to lose sleep over it, but if you're like me you just may be dreaming about it (or having nightmares). Checking the date it would have been shot in the Nuevo Arenal area. In my book I saw a couple that seemed vaguely similar but also strikingly different - Large-footed Finch??
Plumeria, sure OK, whatever, there was lots of it in the area.I believe this Summer Tanager is making up his/her mind to be male.
Fortunately there is a huge amount of yard work to do otherwise I'd be downright depressed about the photographic opportunities here at home!
I hope my holiday shots aren't making others (Canadians) feel depressed!Jack

I took these yesterday at quite a distance with a 7DMII + Sigma 150-600mm Contemporary lens zoomed to 600. I had to crop heavily in post. Sometimes one has to go with what one has and be happy with
it.
