Long-tailed Tyrant: Pierrella Ecology Garden, Sarapiqui, Costa Rica, March 2025 \u2014 One of the first birds our guide took us to find at Pierrella was the Long-tailed Tyrant. There were a pair nesting and hanging out in a far corner of the property, right up against the fence-line at the edge of a sustenance farmer\u2019s garden and little banana grove. They were not at home, and though we scoured the area for quite a ways around, could not be found. Later though, while we were busy with yesterday\u2019s Jacamar show, our guide snuck off to check the roosts again, and came back bubbling over with delight. A quick traipse back past the pond, and there it was, sitting on the top of a snag. Long-tailed indeed. Not as flashy as a Jacamar, but still a very good bird. Sony a6700. Tamron 50-400 at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my macro modifications (still by mistake, I had not caught it yet). Processed in Photomator. <\/p>\n
