Hi
I am off to Secret Papagayo in NW Costa Rica on the 17th of September. What’s the likelihood of me seeing Hummingbirds there or will I need to travel . If so how far ?

Thanks in Advance

Jamie

No idea.

Is this the location - https://ebird.org/hotspot/L818952/media?yr=all&m= ?

If so, the Checklist may help as it includes a number of wintering hummingbirds.

All the best

If the hotel has flowers or even better, hummingbird feeders, you will see Hummers though not sure which.

You're pretty much guaranteed to have Rufous-tailed and Cinnamon Hummingbirds on the grounds, just grab a cold beer and stalk some flower beds
There are another half dozen species in the area and with a bit of effort you could trek down endemic Mangrove Hummers. Enjoy your trip!
