Rufous-backed Wren: Hotel Boganvellea, San Juan, Costa Rica, March 2025 — another year ago encounter. This Rufous-backed Wren had a nest in the cactus tree on the hotel grounds and spent half an hour at least photographing it. The next day, when I took my group back to the spot to photograph it, the tree was on its side on the ground. The roots had given away, maybe spontaneously, and maybe someone or something pushed it over, but that was the last of that wren we saw in our time there. I sincerely hope it found another nesting spot in time to nest before the season was over. Sony a6700. Tamron 50-400 at 400mm (cropped to around 650mm equivalent field of view).
