Blue-grey Tanager

San Gerardo de Dota

Common as common can get in Central America, yet at the same time, so unlike our northern birds! Blue-grey tanagers, AKA viuditas, are everywhere: in the rainforest, in the mountains, at the beach, and just about any other place you can think of. Yet for the longest time, I didn't have a good image of one. which is more or less equivalent to living in Canada and not having a single decent shot of a chickadee. However, on \one December afternoon when I was battling an ugly cold, no small feat at 8,500 feet, one of these birds landed right in front of me and assumed the absolute perfect pose.
