Green ibis lost in the southern lowlands

It was almost one week, when Carlos our assistant manager, argued about a green ibis found in his backyard at Palo Seco, Osa Peninsula. At that moment we all said “it can t be, green ibis are only found in the Carribean slope!! The Mesembrinibis cayennensis, is resident locally throughout Caribbean lowlands, most common in Rio Frio area and coastal swamps north and south of Limon. Since I doubt about it, I decided to take the scope, binoculars, guide, and camara to the place and verify if this was for real. In the moment I got there, Carlos screamed, “come fast it is still here”. We took as much as 50 pictures and now can share them with you. At this moment, we are still uncertain about specific reasons why it came down here, some of our theories rely on it crossing from the Atlantic to the Pacific of Panama, and then flying up to southern Costa Rica.
