February 25, 2025

I am a Silver-throated Tanager
I'm yellow streaked with a pale throat patch
I can be found from Costa Rica to Ecuador
My singing voice is buzzy like the insects I catch.

(This was one of my favorite birds we saw on this trip. I think I took hundreds of photos of them, they are just so adorable, photogenic, and willing posers.)

Location:  Soda Cinchona, Alajuela Province, Alajuela, Costa Rica
