Birdmania at the Cano Negro Bird Count, Costa Rica

10,000 Birds

A female Snowy Cotinga , another canopy species, surprised us by swooping down low to feed on fruits at eye level while a Bat Falcon had breakfast on a snag, and a Wilson’s Snip e, a great find, burst into view from underfoot. White-ringed Flycatchers also sang as we approached the forest, a kiskadee-like bird that lives in the canopy.
