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.

You had to make that resolution to go outside and trudge through the snow, brave those temps but the Great Gray Owl was worth it, those three Bohemian Waxwings lording over a flock of Cedars was priceless. I actually really hope to see this bird in 2019 in Costa Rica. Add 10 species to my Costa Rica list.

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.
