The Groove-billed Ani is one of those birds that usually gets birders pretty excited here in Texas so when we saw this one with several of its friends on the first morning of our Costa Rica trip this month it did draw quite a bit of attention. They were so abundant, however, that by the end of the day we were drawing about as much attention as our grackles do here at home. Even if they are quite common I think they are really interesting birds and rarely pass up an opportunity to take a few photos of them.
