Yellow-headed Blackbird near David


On April 5, Craig Bennett photographed this young male Yellow-headed Blackbird amongst a flock of Bronzed Cowbirds on the edge of a dry rice field on the road from David to Playa Barqueta. The site is approximately 15 km SW from David on the road to Las Olas, a Chiriqui beach resort. This would be the third record of the species from Panama, previously recorded from the Canal Area.
