The birds are now breeding in the area, but are quite happy to keep coming to the daily feeding station in groups of over 100 birds. The first bird in that grouping would be the White-crowned Helmut-shrike. This bird is 3 inches long, lives in the darkest part of the jungle understory of Costa Rica, and never sits still!
