Birding In Costa Rica (1 Viewer)

Hello all ... we are planning a trip to Costa Rica in December/January. Looking for info on this birder's paradise. I know it's probably all available on the Internet and in various birding books, however, we got some great advice from a forum member prior to our trip to Barbados last month, and I'm hoping you guys will come through again for our next expedition.

cheers,
jim
 
We did a coast to coast swing through Costa Rica; Tortuguero National Park on the east coast; Monteverde Cloud Forest in the central mountains; Carara National reserve on the Pacific side. Got some great birds. It wasn't exclusively a birding tour ( it was a general ecotour with International Expeditions), but our guide was a bird expert, and we got a great life list. THere are some places I would still like to see there (Corcovado, Cerro De La Muerte), but I would say that this was a good introduction. Tortuguero NP was especially fascinating. Also, great Hummingbirds all over, especially Monteverde.
 
Thanks Jim
I realy like the camacdonald page. It has goofd hotspots for Chile too. So I enjoy checking places out on there.
