I understand there are still people out there who deny human-induced climate change. Our 2020 drought taught me that any body of water, no matter how small, might host these “drought refugees” in dry years. There were plenty of other birds in the area, with 72 species around the reservoir for the day.

At the moment, night excursions to Poas are limited by pandemic driving restrictions but I can still surmise about the species flying overhead. I dread to imagine what Yellow-billed Cuckoos from Illinois, Missouri, and elsewhere will find when they arrive on these wintering grounds in 2020. Cuckoos are up There. Common Nighthawks.
