Fast forwarding to Costa Rica, to be honest, you won’t find any grouse around here. Further south, several of these cool, tropical wild chickens evolved to inhabit a variety of tropical forests, in Costa Rica, we have been honored with seven of them. Bushwacking? Not in this place. Fred would have been proud.

Costa Rica is a tropical country but it doesn’t have to be hot. To be honest, I shouldn’t downplay the lower temperatures of Costa Rica’s high elevations. A bird of treeline and paramo habitats in Costa Rica and Panama, this wren is a main target for visiting birders.

I actually really hope to see this bird in 2019 in Costa Rica. Living in warm Costa Rica, I no longer need to worry about venturing into the “frio extremo” to see a Pine Grosbeak or some errant gull. For example, around here, we have to watch our step for vipers wonderfully camouflaged in the leaf litter.

There is a regular birding route in Costa Rica that hits every major habitat in the country and makes an easy, logistical friendly loop. Those time honored sites are always good and result in fantastic, birdy trips but they aren’t the only places in Costa Rica for birding.

There is a lot of extreme behavior here (and a lot of that behavior takes place in Australia), but this is not simply a collection of the world’s most fantastic bird tales.
