While heavy rains can’t compare with blizzards or the dearth of species in the frozen lands, constant rain does present challenges to bird counts. You see, December is also when cold fronts tend to soak the Caribbean side of the country. One such event is the bird count at Arenal, a day typically replete with varying degrees of rain.
