Although I love the idea of a Costa Rican Warbler, I think its other name of Black-eared Warbler is better because this species is not endemic to Costa Rica, it does cross over the southern border of that amazing country. In addition, this species used to be lumped with the Three-Striped Warbler and the Tacaruna Warbler. The Tacaruna inhabits Panama and the very northern parts of Colombia and the Three-stripe is further to the south in the Andes from Venezuela down to Peru. I took this awful photo at the La Paz Waterfall Gardens in the Talamancas of Costa Rica. However, it is a special photo for me as it is one of my earliest bird photos.
