Costa Rica is no exception. Despite the small size of Costa Rica, more than 50 hummingbird species reside in the cloud forests and other tropical habitats of this beautiful country; we see them in our gardens, while they buzz between flowers inside and at the edge of forest, and bickering over choice spots at hummingbird feeders.

I am making the assumption, that with my upcoming trip to Costa Rica, I will be in areas that are teeming with hummingbirds. There is an aquarium, Cat Canyon display of local wild felines, and a Wild Desert Bighorn Sheep area. Up to this point, I have never seen anything like this place! 1 Gila Woodpecker. 2 House Sparrow.

Having mobility issues, I still remember birding from a van along a rather productive dirt road in Costa Rica ( Broad-billed Motmot , Lineated Woodpecker , Cocoa Woodcreeper , etc.), Don’t you hate it when you cannot communicate while birding overseas? while the rest of the group took a hike.

This is a particularly good option for working breeds and those with high exercise demands, like sheep dogs and labs. His ideal vacation would be on the beach in Costa Rica with his Labrador retriever at his side. Choose an option that feels right for your entire family, and you’ll have a much more relaxed vacation.

Since that trip, I’ve seen Rose-throated Becard in Costa Rica, but not with the rosy throat. And, seeing a bird in Costa Rica is not the same as seeing it in the U.S. I never saw the bird. Well, maybe a bit of a wing. Hence my birding travel (and blogging) has been curtail (but life much enriched!)
