Baltimore Oriole- one of the more common wintering birds in Costa Rica. Based on birding this very morning from the back of my place in Costa Rica, I can guarantee that at least some Baltimore Orioles, Tennessee Warblers , a Painted Bunting and a few other migrants are still far to the south. More Birds are Singing.

On the breeding grounds of the north, a small bird flies into the night, takes a bearing for the south, gains altitude and flies onward. In Costa Rica, they can take the form of everything from toucans (think crows with giant shark inspired beaks) to herons and monkeys. The equation seems incredible. Flap, flap, glide.

Even if we couldn’t find time to raise the bins at a favorite patch, it only takes momentary glances into the sky and hearing chip notes from the trees to remind us that birds are on the move. Although this elegant raptor is regular in many parts of Costa Rica, it doesn’t usually visit the Central Valley.

Over the next few days, the Alpine Accentors ( Prunella collaris ) will arrive on their high-Alpine breeding grounds – it is time to start singing, despite that the treeless Alpine landscape is still under metres of snow. all Alpine Accetor photos digiscoped (c) Dale Forbes. all Alpine Accetor photos digiscoped (c) Dale Forbes.

It is slightly larger than Costa Rica, and in the most strategic places it has a well-developed infrastructure. And the answer to the question I am raising here is, yes, I would travel to Sri Lanka in the next period. Sri Lanka is a ‘must visit country’ for any keen birder. Where to look for the birds?
