Yellow-crowned Euphonia: Las Cruces Biological Research Station (OTS), San Vito, Costa Rica — The Euphonias are named, of course, for their melodious songs and calls. There are several in Costa Rica and though the Yellow-crowned is preset on the Caribbean slope, I had to wait until I was in the foothills on the Pacific slope to see one. This bird came to the bananas we put out on the terrace at the dinning hall at the Wilson Botanical Gardens. It is certainly a perky, attractive little bird. Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent.
