Pura Vida !!

            When Costa Ricans say “pura vida,” it's a way of saying hello. For the Costa Rican people, it represents a way of life that welcomes a minimal lifestyle, celebrates good fortune, and encourages you to take things in your stride.

I’ve never participated in a “Bird Photography” tour, but while traveling in other countries I’m always on the lookout for birds. So, while our tour group was enjoying evening cocktails at a lodge in Costa Rica, I was out on the deck with one hand on my drink and the other for my camera. This male Tanager flew in for a visit and was close enough for me to snap a quick portrait without spilling my drink. It was a good day 😉

(I think this is a Hepatic Tanager. Correct me if you know the proper name.) 

The Hepatic Tanager’s sweet, caroling song carries well through the open pine and pine-oak forests of its highland habitats. Named for the male’s dusky reddish upperparts (“hepatic” refers to the liver), this species’ scientific name (flava) also references the female’s yellow plumage. Hepatic Tanagers occur in much of South and Central America and barely reach the southwestern areas of the United States. In Central and South America there are 300+ species of tanagers that, despite sharing a name, are unrelated to the 4 species in the U.S. and Canada.
