Black-faced Solitaire

Black-faced Solitaire: Savegre Mountain Resort, San Gerardo de Dota, Costa Rica — The beautiful song of the Black-faced Solitaire has made it a target of the local caged-bird trade in Costa Rica and Panama where you hear it singing in the high mountain forests. It is a thrush and has that resonate fluting sound, somewhat like a Hermit Thrush in the US. We found this one on the mountain above the lodge at Savegre. Sony Rx10iv at 517mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Pixomator Photo and Apple Photos. ISO 640 @ f4 @ 1/500th.
