Gorgeous photo: sleeping bird


This black-headed tityra bird was not worried about raptors when it sat sleeping on a branch high up above the La Selva research station in Costa Rica. The sun had just gone up and there was still some wetness in the air from the night.

En underbar bild.Fågeln måste ha varit helt utmattad. Jag såg en gång en grupp vadare som landade på en strand och sov inom 30 sekunder.

Precis - fast jag vet inte om den har arten flyttar langt. Men utmattad, helt klart!
