We were met by several Cattle Egret in beautiful breeding plumage feeding on the grass right next to the train station. There was something “not right” about it. If the train did not go all of the way then we took a connecting bus or walked. It was not a Milky Stork or a Painted Stork.

It’s going to take a while but if I can expend time and energy (aka birding kung-fu) in the right places, I can certainly make that happen for Costa Rica. Cattle Egret – Bubulcus ibis; Santa Barbara de Heredia, 4-Jan. Squirrel Cuckoo – Piaya cayana; San Miguel reservoir, 8-Jan.

Watch out for Tom during October to see this anomaly put right. Cattle Tyrant – Machetornis rixosa. Cattle Egret – Bubulcus ibis. Squirrel Cuckoo – Piaya cayana. There are a number of potential reasons for this, the most likely by far being that Pat has been batting for both teams for a couple of weeks.
