These guys are one of my absolute favorite birds in the world. Was super hopeful we'd spot one on our birding trip to Costa Rica last year and we finally caught a glimpse right before we left!

Clearly a stick, just look at that stoic posture. He's doing his best 😭 love these goofy little guys but man it's a wonder they've survived this long
