Brown-Hooded Parrot – A Splendid Bird in Costa Rica (April 2026) 褐冠鹦哥 -哥斯达黎加的美丽鸟 (2026 年 4 月）

The Brown-Hooded Parrot (Pyrilia haematotis) is a medium-sized parrot native to the humid tropical lowlands and foothills of Costa Rica, particularly on the Caribbean slope. Easily identified by its distinct dark brown head, pale eye-ring, and vivid pinkish-red patch behind the eyes, its body is primarily a rich green. Though they blend seamlessly into the dense forest canopy while quietly foraging on fruits and seeds, they are spectacular in flight, revealing a flash of brilliant red underwings. They are most commonly spotted traveling in small, energetic flocks, filling the rainforest with their high-pitched, musical calls

褐冠鹦哥（Pyrilia haematotis）是一种体型中等的鹦鹉，原产于哥斯达黎加潮湿的热带低地和山麓丘陵，尤其常见于加勒比海坡。它们非常容易辨认：头部呈独特的深褐色，眼周有淡色眼环，眼后则有一抹鲜艳的粉红斑块，而身体主要呈浓郁的绿色。当它们安静地搜寻果实时，身体会完美地融入茂密的森林冠层中，但当在飞行时却极具观赏性，会展露出翅羽下方那一抹夺目的亮红色。它们常常小群落形式结伴出行，蹦蹦跳跳活力无限, 清脆悦耳的鸣叫声在热带雨林之中回荡。
