Don't mess with a Grassquit!

I was taking shots of a female by the roadside and actually didn't notice the male until he flew straight at me. Although a common bird in Costa Rica, I often overlooked these guys until they turned around and faced you. Then they got your attention! The facial markings of the Yellow-faced Grassquit (tiaris olivaceus) never ceased to amaze.

Thanks for stopping by and any comments are always greatly appreciated :-)
