10,000 Birds

JUNE 24, 2020

I had such a good time exploring the zone that I went back again the following week, something I rarely do, given that I have so many quality birding sites to choose from in my region. This sort of biozone mixing can create a tremendous richness of species. Each of these habitats attracts its own group of species.

I spent two full days where the birding was near constant, and, just to keep the binoculars from being neglected, topped it off with another half day of birding on our drive back from Cano Negro, Costa Rica. Like most of my birding weekends, this one began somewhere in the Central Valley.

April, while not as exciting a migratory month as May is in the northeastern United States, is still a great time of year to see migrating birds. I was lucky in that most of the wintering species hadn’t left yet but a bunch of species that spend the cold months further south had already arrived.
