Clay-colored Robin!

For birders, the Clay-colored Robin is one of those special birds that when added to one’s life list gives a little more satisfaction than the average life bird. In the U.S., the Clay-colored Robin is generally only found in Texas’ Rio Grande Valley, which is where thousands of birders flock each year to see it and other “valley specialties.”

However in Coast Rica, where it is the national bird, Clay-colored Robins are feeder visitors – as was recently demonstrated by Rey from Orotina, Costa Rica when he uploaded this great picture of one perched atop a fruit feeder on his property there.
