    My friend saw a small yellow, black and white bird that flew around making a clicking sound almost like snapping your fingers. It also had a song. Does anyone know its name.

    Thanks,

    Can you please tell me where geographically you are in Costa Rica?

    When you say ‘small’ what does that mean?

    What part of the bird was yellow, black and white?

    Sounds like the Silver Throated Tanager…

    Is this it?
