Yellow-naped Parrot. Endangered and awesome, it’s pretty easy to experience this big parrot in the Pacific lowlands of Costa Rica from Tarcoles north to near Nicaragua. A serious world mega and even more so because this species is truly scarce and without a doubt, truly endangered. Bare-necked Umbrellabird.
