The Olive-crowned Yellowthroat is one of Costa Rica’s resident wood-warbler species. In Costa Rica, those would be the wood-warblers that do a lot more wintering in the southern USA and the Caribbean than in southern Central America. They also winter in Costa Rica and I see a few every year but not that many.

Having lived in Costa Rica for several years, I recall those glorious August days in the 80s and can say that yes, it is rather like August, all year long. Differences exist but August in Niagara is much closer to Costa Rica than a Niagara November. Go birding in Costa Rica in August and you will find shorebirds.

December is a busy time in Costa Rica. “Cangreja” means crab in Spanish and refers to the shape of the mid-sized peak at the center of the protected area. Serious kudos go to Leonel for having done an excellent job at promoting bird education in the rural community that lives adjacent to the park.

Costa Rica is a country situated well south of the Tropic of Cancer and like most places without a winter, parrots are an essential part of the local avifauna. With 18 species of native Psittacids to choose from, birding in Costa Rica is always a thrill, especially for someone who grew up in parrotless Niagara Falls, New York!

Patrick had many birds to choose from for his Best Bird of the Year but he chose a new species for him in Costa Rica, a real regional rarity: My BBOTY for 2014 goes to Hudsonian Godwit. Once endangered, they lead happy, protected lives, oblivious to the tourists who love them. Carlos’s BBOTY – the Nicobar Pigeon.
