National Wildlife Refuges protect critical habitat and provide some of the best birding locations in the United States. Although birders and other users of NWRs create local jobs , federal lands can be costly for local governments because, broadly speaking, federal land cannot be taxed by state or local governments.

Last week, I wrote about my recent trip from my current home of Morelia, Mexico to my childhood home of the San Francisco Bay Area in the United States, and how several species can be found in both places, in spite of how far apart they are, and yet look quite different in each place. They are, in effect, the same, but different.

Perhaps for those of us in the northeastern United States the number of birds this weekend has been a bit of a disappoint though.

The Hawaii vote made it clear that that the ABA Area is about political borders, not geographical or ecological ones, and the two Caribbean territories have long been part of the United States. The absence of the Caribbean means that ABA Area—and the ABA—excludes important aspects of the avian diversity of the United States.

Few places boast so many different bird species in such a small area — over 900 species (more than Europe, or all of the United States and Canada combined), including 75 different families, like 51 species of hummingbirds, 48 warblers, and 45 tanagers. Costa Rica is synonymous with many things, and birding is clearly one of them.
