Õõnepääsuke, Tachycineta bicolor

Õõnepääsuke elutseb suviti Põhja-Ameerikas ning talviti Kesk-Ameerikas ning ta on eluviisilt üsna sarnane meie suitsupääsukesega - elab meelsasti ka inimeste lähedal. See foto on aga tehtud inimasustusest üsna kaugel - Costa Rica põhjapiiril, Caño Negro kaitsealal. Lind trotsis vihma Rio Frio jõe kohale kaardunud oksa peal.
Tree Swallow is a migrant that lives in North America during summer and in Central America during winter. It is quite alike with european Barn Swallow as it also does not mind living close to people. This photo, though, is taken quite far from the human settlements - near the northern border of Costa Rica, in Caño Negro Wildlife Refuge. The bird was defying the rain on the branch by the Rio Frio.
