I wanted to share this news here with you guys:
On October 14th while visiting my mom in a town called Portalón, 24km south of Quepos, my wife spotted an unusual oriole so she called me immediately for me to see it, the view were at plain sight since I had no optics at the moment, but lucky a notepad and a pen so I made a quick illustration of what was 15feet in front of me. The I called My colleague and great friend Roy Orozco for ID help as he was home and had access to his books, it ended being a yellow backed oriole!
On Oct 15th my wife Karina S, Roy O and I went back to find the bird and get proofs, and we located the bird again and got some photos, recorded its voice and a little bit of its behavior. What a treat, we had this luck almost a year ago now (October 5th 2013) when I found the first and so far only individual lined seedeater (Sporophila lineola) for CR at El rey, a marshland near Quepos.
Life is good, the effort and the countless hours in the field had been rewarded....twice!
