Highlights from Birding Costa Rica, 2019

10,000 Birds

The Ornate Hawk-Eagle was noticed at the last minute on our drive towards San Jose through the dense rainforests of Braulio Carrillo National Park. An Ornate from another day. Buff-fronted Quail-Dove on a feeder. Not a rare bird but like all quail-doves, a professional skulker and thus typically glimpsed as it scurries into hiding.
