10,000 Birds

JANUARY 2, 2021

Time is relative but the first day of the first month of a brand new year also acts as a good moment for making birding resolutions. I don’t know if I can make these happen but I’m making some 2021 Costa Rica birding resolutions anyways! The more birds the better and there’s a lot to see in Costa Rica!

Yep, come to Costa Rica to cool off! Plant as many trees as you can, support organic, locally produced food, don’t buy products associated with deforestation, and feel good about coming down to Costa Rica. You won’t find any glaciers in Costa Rica but you can certainly escape the heat.

For some reason it didn’t occur to me how humid Costa Rica might be and I needed a day or two to acclimatise. On that day I wore a shirt made of some smart material, which I expected to dry out fast, not the least because it had a logo of a well-known binoculars brand on it. And it worked – I still dream of Costa Rica.

In publishing the most current thinking, eBird have become the month’s biggest contributor to the life list, expanding it by 7 brand new species and pushing it to 3774. I just live for this stuff! Not to be out-done, the beats have been out doing their thing as well.
