"Sentinel I" - Penaris Neighborhood, Costa Rica


Click on image for larger view.
There aren't any crows in Costa Rica. Instead, there are birds that occupy similar niches (Brown Jays and Great-tailed Grackles). The Great-tailed Grackle has a variety of very loud noises, squeakes, calls that they make. This large, noisy bird has become amazingly adapted to living with people. A scavenger and opportunist in urban environments they seem to be right at home as they forage on city streets. - Information from "Costa Rica Living and Birding" by Pat O'Donnell
