| Rufous-naped Wren Hogar de Vida Campus, Atenas, Costa Rica |
This noisy and aggressive little bird is the most numerous at my house and seemed to be likewise at Hogar de Vida during our week of living there. I shared a different shot than these in the photo book for the participants. To read more about this Central American bird, see:
Neotropical Birds where you can learn the most, see a locations map & hear them sing
Wikipedia where you can read about them in 10 languages and learn that the bird’s name in Spanish is Ratona de nuca rufa
And a search for my photos of this wren at my house, if interested. The only bird that flies inside my house. Click an image to see it larger.
Though wildlife was not the emphasis of the mission trip last week, I have a few animal shots that I will share the next few days from both the campus and the tourist day trip.
¡Pura Vida!
An Ode to a Singing Bird
The Rufous-naped wren
Became my dear friend
Singing in the tree
Especially for me
Before the sun rose
Only the Good Lord knows
How he sounded like Bach
Becoming my alarm clock!
¡Hermoso poema Larry!
