A Cuckoo in Costa Rica Brings in the Birders
10,000 Birds
FEBRUARY 13, 2021
12 species of cuckoos are on the Costa Rica bird list. One of them, the Greater Ani, is rare and odd vagrant that has only been seen a few times in the canals of Tortuguero National Park. Tortuguero- one of many excellent birding areas in Costa Rica. Another, the Cocos Cuckoo requires a looong (but pelagic filled!) boat ride to Cocos Island. However, the ani is easily seen in many other places and, as long as you reach its island home, the Cocos Cuckoo is fairly easy to see.
