If a list also shows the status for each species, birders on their way to Costa Rica would realize that they shouldn’t really expect vireos with white eyes nor blue heads (but would hopefully know that they should very much report those species on eBird so local birders can chase them!). Spot-bellied Bobwhite bites the dust.

Costa Rica enjoys an international reputation as an iconic birding location, bursting with epic Neotropical species and breathtaking natural attractions. Understandably, certain lodges have, over the years, come to be associated with the Costa Rican birding circuit.

I am thinking of a relatively stable/prosperous bird-paradise where one may be able to find a job in ecotourism or wildlife research… or, to begin with, as a resident environmental scientist / nature blogger in some wildlife lodge? Costa Rica (857 / 903). India (1180 / 1171). Sri Lanka (375 / 436). The Afrotropics.

Larry starts us off right with an owl that makes birders drool: I was able to see and photograph many great birds in 2014 but my Best Bird of the Year would have to be the Great Gray Owl , the largest Strix in North America. Once endangered, they lead happy, protected lives, oblivious to the tourists who love them.

This means that there are some astoundingly large families of birds in Central and South America. In the last few years, birders in Costa Rica started noticing strange mango species in the Golfito/Puntarenas region of the country. I have looked for it near the Panamanian border in Costa Rica without success.

Birding opened up Central America for me in a way that nothing else did. Once you understand the mind-boggling biodiversity of the area beyond toucans and parrots, you realize how special Central America is. That’s why Costa Rica is at the top of every single birder’s list of desperately desired destinations.
