Like other pygmy-owls, the Costa Rican Pygmy-Owl is a pint-sized terror. Quetzal also lives in cloud forests in southern Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. The Yellow-thighed Finch is also common. This bird is basically a brush-finch with yellow boots. Don’t let those big, imploring eyes fool you.

Quetzal is THE beloved, sacred bird of Guatemala and they do live there (and in southern Mexico, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama) BUT are more accessible in Costa Rica. These people also know about the rare Unspotted Saw-whet Owl and will take you on a night hike to look for it. Even the non-birders will love the scenery. Yes, the R.

Birds of Central America: Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rican, and Panama , just published in October, is a field guide that was ten years in the making. I was initially struck by the color tones of the illustrations, especially those of the shorebirds, owls, and some of the hawk and tanager species.

The most owls? How about 248 Northern Saw-whet Owls banded in one night ?!?!?! Let’s take a look at some of what I found so you can make an informed decision as to if this is something you want to get involved in. The most Green Herons ever reported is 3,000. I could go on forever. This stuff is fascinating.

Nicaraguan Grackle only lives in marshes around Lake Nicaragua. I guess that isn’t too surprising since a quick 30 minute float down the river goes right into Nicaragua. Essentially a boring brown bird with a cool voice and weird name. We had several Least Bitterns.

But, if you want to go further afield, fear not, there is some wonderful lowland forest birding up near Nicaragua and down south by Panama as well. At least two gave their growling, frightening calls all night long and were joined by the low rumbling call of the Crested Owl. The looks at the potoo were almost too close!
