At Cano Negro, the stormy weather gave us a few birds rarely if ever seen at this inland freshwater wetland complex; Laughing Gulls , a Sandwich Tern , and two Brown Pelicans ! Despite rain during part of the day, the other teams also did very well and we ended up with a final overall tally of more than 270 species. Just kidding!

One of the sheltered bays on Isla Isabel. It is easy to know when the boat is nearing its destination because the skies start filling with ever-increasing numbers of Heerman’s Gulls , various booby species, Red-billed Tropicbirds and the ubiquitous Magnificent Frigatebirds. A young frigate within arms-length of the photographer.

Watching my first Brown Pelicans , I am inhaling deeply and commenting to Sergio Arias how strong the scent is. Sergio and I continue to a sloth shelter, where, waiting for the tour, I sit in a café. But why would someone look for that, an easy and common one among the 920+ bird species of Costa Rica?

The bay itself is fairly large and sheltered from the elements, and one of the larger rivers draining the Main Ridge Forest Reserve empties into the bay on the northern end. The confluence of fresh and salt water creates a small, nutrient-rich hideaway that is used by various species of fish as a nursery. Royal Tern.

The header photo shows the remains of Marlgu Billabong on November 10th 2018 looking left from the shelter. Marlgu Billabong looking right from the shelter. We soon positioned ourselves in the shelter to watch the birdlife and there was no denying it was a hot and dry day and the shade was appreciated.

As I continued south I stopped at each small jetty to see which species were roosting and the sea was substantially rougher than on my previous visit. There are a lot of small sheltered bays along the coast and you can choose to walk along the beach or promenade. Australian Pelican. Black-winged Stilt at St Kilda.
