We left Canopy Lodge after an early breakfast on December 25, 2009, to head for the dry Pacific lowland around the small community of El Chiru. We saw this male Blue-black Grassquit perched on a stump as we hiked along a dirt road in the area. This species is frequently observed in open areas in the lowlands. Males perch on an elevated area and sing sometimes jumping a foot or so into the air and then dropping back down to their original perch (unfortunately, this bird did not perform). Temperatures were in the low 80's (and climbing) on this partly cloudy morning.
