As with any birding locales, there are similarities and there are differences and in this transcontinental case, the differences are obviously much more pronounced but I can’t help but think about comparisons. Here are some: Mega migration : We bear witness to some serious migration in Costa Rica.

I’m also a big fan of birds lining up in pairs for purpose of comparison. There seem to be an unusually large number of American Wigeons on the lake this winter. Which is fine… I like American Wigeons. These two are a Cinnamon Teal and a Blue-winged Teal. Ring-billed Gulls are the most common gulls at the lake.

Let us start with a comparison of size. For those serious about robins, the choice will most likely come down to either the European Robin or the Japanese Robin. In this post, I will tell you what to keep in mind when you choose between one of these two robins. A European Robin. A Japanese Robin. While the European Robin measures 12.5-14

It was kind of this Clay-colored Sparrow (left) and Chipping Sparrow (right) to position themselves so well for comparison purposes. The best way to identify the Chippy is that its eye line reaches both in front of and behind the eye. Happily, nobody would struggle to identify a Lark Sparrow.

While the 480-odd species recorded within T&T may outstrip our fellow Caribbean islands by leaps and bounds, it pales in comparison to the massive lists of mainland South and Central America.
