| Yigüirro (clay-colored thrush) The national bird of Costa Rica is one of many landing in my fast-growing guarumo (cecropia) – hoping it will soon be a toucan! |
More Balcony Birds
The balcony of my new house is providing a lot of birds, I just haven’t had time to sit still and wait on them for photos. Here’s 5 made in about a week, plus the hummingbird and toucan shown earlier. 7!

| White-winged Dove He ties with Yigüirro as the most heard birds. His is a coo-coo coo cooooooo |
 |
| Yigüirro or Clay-colored Thrush Day and night I hear him with his Tch, Tch, Tch, Tch or Toc, Toc, Toc, Toc The National Bird of Costa Rica |
 |
| Melodious Blackbird My bird sounds app doesn’t have this one, but “melodious” must be happy! The only all-black bird in Costa Rica with dark eye, shaking rainwater off here. |
 |
| Gray-capped Flycatcher He kind of squeaks in the morning among all the other bird sounds then more of a chirp during the day |
 |
| White-tipped Dove His sound is not as noticed, a low-pitched uuuuuuu His tail tip is white while above dove’s wing’s white |
And if you’re wondering about the sounds, I got a new app for my phone, “The Bird Sounds of Costa Rica.” Cool! Maybe I will begin to recognize more of them now. For more information, check your app source (I got it from GooglePlays) or direct from the birdsounds website in the Netherlands: http://www.birdsounds.nl/ They have a bunch for all around the world.
