Fortunately, the few remnant areas of mangrove forests in Costa Rica receive a certain degree of protection by either being included in official protected areas or because of legal protections provided to forest.

Birds are arriving in North America, flying from places far to the south. Many come from Central America, a good number fly much further. The same goes for Panama, Nicaragua, Honduras, and other places along their migration routes. Yeah, I daresay those birds do pass through Costa Rica in the millions.

Thanks to better protection from hunting, this fancy bird is tame and easy to see at many sites in Costa Rica. We have several quail-dove species in Costa Rica, this one is only found in cloud forest here and in western Panama. It does range into western Panama but is far from easy there (nor in Costa Rica for that matter).

The first concern is the most important, the vital knowledge, because we can’t protect and preserve populations of migratory bird species if we don’t know where they stop to rest and refuel. With all of that bird movement going on, one can’t help but wonder where and how often they stop. What do they eat?

In most countries, long, sweaty, expedition birding is required to see the only curassow species in Middle America. That changes in Costa Rica, where the vulnerable Great Curassow is easily seen at several protected sites. In Costa Rica, it’s pretty common and easy to see in and near just about any protected forest.
