Long-tailed Silky-flycatcher

Long-tailed Silky-flycatcher: Savegre Mountain Hotel Spa and Reserve, San Geraldo de Dota, Costa Rica — The Long-tailed Silky-flycatcher is a mostly fruit eating bird of the canopy in the highlands of Costa Rica, ruth up to timberline…but you can see it at eye-level when it is feeding on low growing fruit. Despite its common name, it is more closely related to thrushes and waxwings than it is to true flycatchers. These were seen on the grounds of Savegre Hotel, and down along the river near the lodge.
