Black-faced Grosbeak: Tico Rainforest B&B, Sarapiqui, Costa Rica, December 2024 — There were several Black-faced Grosbeaks working the undergrowth and the under side of the low canopy in Victor’s little patch of second growth rainforest, but they proved to be very hard to photograph. This is the only decent shot I got out of a dozen or more attempts. Like our North American grosbeaks, this one is a member of the cardinal family. Sony a6700. Tamron 50-400 at 600mm equivalent.
