| Clay-colored Thrush |
One of the common birds here in Costa Rica and also widely distributed. It calls and sings continuously, is very people friendly and confiding, therefore it is well known by all of Costa Rica's people.
It's choice at first was not obvious to me when one considers all the other showy, huge, colourful, fierce birds, in fact some of the world's iconic birds, but this gentle little bird feels so right for this country of open, caring, and hard working people.
