Frequent visitor to the pool bar of Barcelo Langosta Beach, Costa Rica.
Quite impressive ornament on its head made me run for the camera, good thing it was lunch time and bird was busy stealing food from guests plates :lol: and I had time to capture few pictures.
Thanks for looking.

Talk about a cowlick! Great shots and Costa Rica is looking more desirable all the time. (Loan, anyone?)

Cool looking bird Kris. Kinda looks similar to our Blue Jay...without the headdress!

Thanks for all comments.
Yup, it is quite similar to our blue jay, except head ornament.
Also, this bird is little bit bigger.
