Babita Tours has many years of experience organizing tailor-made wildlife tours for private groups in this wonderful country. On our last visit to the grasslands of Manas we saw not one but two endangered Bengal Floricans in fifteen minutes, with a Pied Falconet thrown in for good measure!

There are more than 50 regional endemics to choose from, and many birds are easier to see in Costa Rica than many other places because of access to habitat and/or lack of hunting pressure. So, I settled on 25 and even that leaves off birds that could easily make it into someone’s else’s top target species wish list for Costa Rica!

It was already a relict species living in isolated populations long before man brought deforestation, coffee plantations, wood extraction, hunting, trapping and other risks to its world, further decreasing its range and population and further fragmenting populations. But at last we were in El Triunfo! Wine-throated Hummingbird.

My best bird of the year is based on the sighting rather than the species. Hornbills are spectacular under any circumstances, but when a pair lands in a bush beside you at eye-level and begin mutual preening , it makes for a spectacular experience. Larry adds our second owl species to this list of stellar birds.
