endure for ground-cuckoos, staring cat-like into the dim depths of rainforest, I am grateful to help cater to their birding needs. It’s all good in the birding hood no matter where one raises the bins but in Costa Rica, it’s easy to get spoiled by diversity. After a bird rich morning at Cope’s.

Pseudonyms are in order for many a bird and Costa Rica is no exception. In Costa Rica, we usually call these guys “yiguirro” or “clay-color” but I like “National Bird” even better. It sounds patriotic and rolls off the tongue as fast as you see them.

My first tropical birding trip was to Costa Rica when I was 8 and the Jabiru was at the top of my list even then, but sadly none were encountered. He lives in Forest Hills with Daisy, their son, Desmond Shearwater, and their two indoor cats, Hunter and B.B. It seemed like a really fun way to spend the day! Wicked, right?
