Most of all, I love showing people birds, species both common and mysteriously evasive. Whether a birder is eager for eyefulls of common species or needs to test the birding Zen and. Although we didn’t start out the birding that way, on the third day, we did find ourselves wondering if we were approaching 300 species.

The proximity of both slopes also facilitates seeing a lot of different species in a short span because the montane barrier has resulted in differences in terms of species and habitats. In Costa Rica, that would mean the Sarapiqui area because this is where we find the closest Caribbean lowland forests to San Jose.

Gray-necked Wood-Rails and Purple Gallinules come to the feeders along with other, more common species. Boat-billed Heron can also be seen during breakfast, and several dry forest species are possible. The gardens are lovely, have various common birds and occasional ground-sparrows, and a chance at roosting Tropical Screech-Owl.

If you want to go the relaxed route, don’t worry, there’s still plenty to see in hotel gardens in and near San Jose. At Cerro, you might see Black and white and Pacific Screech-Owls that first night. Meanwhile, dozens of other species show up at feeders and in nearby vegetation. Hope to see you here!

After landing in San Jose ay close to 10:00 PM, we made our way to our first Air BnB just north of the airport. We did get introduced to Geiner Huertas Reyes, who took us for a walk along part of the river and into a public park, where we put together a nice list of 61 species.

That’s where most of Costa Rica’s population resides and because of that, it’s also why we headed out around dawn, happily leaving the long line of vehicles on their way to San Jose in the rear view mirror. One of those species was a Pied Puffbird , our sole individual for the day and maybe the only one for the count.

However, there are a few stand out sites here and there that are significantly better for species like Jabiru, Lance-tailed Manakin, and Nicaraguan Grackle to name a few. From San Jose, it takes four to four and a half hours but given the excellent birding opps on the way, you might want to allocate a bit more time.
