I waited patiently for this crake to walk through a small clearing. Then I got this :)
Small marsh bird, very difficult to see as it creeps through dense grass. Far more easily heard: listen for a loud descending chatter that lasts several seconds. If you are lucky enough to spot one, look for the combination of rich rufous neck and sides of breast, whitish throat, and barred black-and-white flanks. Favors damp pastures and marshes, where it usually stays hidden but occasionally runs through open areas.
Taken on a photo tour in Costa Rica led by Neotropic Photo Tours. February 9, 2020
This was the view out our window from Arenal Kioro Resort in La Fortuna, Costa Rica. Arenal Volcano last erupted in 2010.
Great view of this very shy near-endemic and unique species of its family.
