Blue-gray Tanager

Still somewhat windy here, but at least the birds are coming back out, though not many butterflies yet. This Blue-gray Tanager (my gallery link) is well-known on both slopes of Costa Rica and from Mexico to South America. The powder-blue and white plumage make him distinctive with the closest look maybe being his cousin, the brown and white Palm Tanager. See more of my photos from all over in the above-linked gallery.

Blue-gray Tanager

There are more than water birds on Rio Tarcoles with both shores lined with forests. And this is one of the more common Central & South American birds that even comes to my garden. See more in my gallery: Blue-gray Tanager.
