Pitangus sulphuratus







This cute little bird is the most common bird in Costa Rica. We see and hear them everyday around our house and as you can tell they are quite easy to see because of their bright yellow chest. We have also seen them when we have been on either of the coasts.

The second week we were here, Jim asked at work what the name was of this bright yellow- breasted bird. One of Jim’s co-workers looked at him and said, “I don’t know what you are expecting but we call them yellow-chest.” We have since learned that they are also commonly called Kiskadee.
