info
This is the smallest carnivorous bird that lives on Costa Rica. Its weight does not exceed 100 grams with a wingspan of about 50 cm. While we were driving along the coast we saw a pearl kite sitting on a power line. After a while it flew onto a nearby isolated tree. We walked several dozen meters towards it to take photos. There were four of us, and yet we couldn’t see that the bird was there. It was difficult to spot it due to its tiny size. It was Tadeusz who noticed it and that’s how the pictures presented here were taken. Unfortunately after a few seconds the bird was gone.
