I have been wanting to visit this glacier lagoon since I first saw pics of it over 3 years ago. In practice, it was a little tricky to shoot because the ice chunks are actually slowly moving. I was psyched to see this T. Rex skull in the ice ... or maybe I just have dinos on the brain because my son is currently obessed with them.
doesnt look like a tyrant eh?

Near Boca Tapada, Costa Rica. These birds always perch way, WAY high up from the ground, so I felt lucky to get any kind of photo at all!
Distinctive flycatcher: long central tail feathers usually obvious, longer in males than females. Even without tail, plumage is unique: black body with white back and eyebrow. Fairly small flycatcher, usually perched conspicuously in clearings, open habitats, or forest edges. Listen for rising whistled call.

This tiny, beautiful bird occurs in montane forest all along the Andes, but occurs more generally in Patagonia right down to the coast. But they did not seem particularly common, and they were always on the move when I saw them so never easy to connect with. I photographed this individual in a Southern Beech (Nothofagus) woodland in Torres del Paine National Park in southern Chile.
Although it looks rather like a Wheatear, Dark-faced Ground-tyrant is much closer to Manakins and even Woodcreepers. That's because it is a suboscine passerine, an early offshoot of the songbirds that mainly occur in South America, but with a few in North America and the "Old World". There are about a thousand subsocine passerines compared to over 5000 true songbirds. There seems to be a rather prosaic method of naming birds in this part of the world, often using double hyphens, that simply describe what you see, and Dark-faced Ground-tyrant is no exception. This is the nominate subspecies (Muscisaxicola maclovianus maclovianus) that occurs only on the Falklands. In fact the name maclovianus is named after the Falkland Islands, known as Malvinas in Spanish. Falkland birds are larger and greyer than those in Chile and Argentina (M. m. mentalis). Like other suboscine songbirds, they don't have much of a song. This species is a ground nester, which is predictable as there aren't many trees in the Falklands.
Attractive flycatcher found in marshes and waterbodies. Range across northern South America. A lifer found on a "field birding" (vs. "feeder birding") trip to Colombia in the Casanare region. Hato La Aurora.
My wife and I went over to La Jolla early last Sunday morning to take pictures of Pelicans with their breeding plumage, but the day was so beautiful that after we were done with the pelicans, we walked around and just enjoyed the morning. I now know, thanks to Flickr member Birdguy200, that this bird is a Black Phoebe, and it was enjoying the morning and the view of the ocean from this perch.
