This species is difficult to observe, but having this photo is special for me as it took over an hour of near-stationary, backbreaking work. Thanks to Sue and Ahmad for spotting him.

Azure-hooded Jay (1)

Cyanolyca cucullata

Costa Rica

Date taken: Jan 27 2017

Details: adult

Seen at Monteverde, Costa Rica. Interestingly, this was seen while watching a Quetzal, and although I mentioned several times that a new species was perched above us, nobody in the group could take their eyes off the Quetzal and they missed the Jay.

Resplendent Quetzal (1)

Pharomachrus mocinno

(Near-threatened)

Chris

Costa Rica

Date taken: Jan 27 2017

Details: male, adult

The highlight of the trip, not only for looking spectacular, but for seeing the excitement it created from many people and even non-birdwatchers. We were very lucky to have him fly down from a hidden perch into the open. With hope the forests can continue to be protected with increased interest and awareness of this and other bird species. Monteverde Cloud Forest Biological Reserve, Costa Rica.

Speckled Tanager (1)

Tangara guttata

Chris

Costa Rica

Date taken: Jan 23 2017

Details: adult

This species is one of the most striking we saw during a brief stay in Costa Rica. The colouring appears surreal but actually shows what we saw. The light reflection off the large leaves nearby may also have helped. Talari Mountain Lodge, Costa Rica.
