“Here was one trip for the birds ... and the sloths ... and the monkeys and iguanas, too. Costa Rica’s diversity of wildlife beckoned, so Tania and I answered the call with a two-week exploration of this lush Neotropical paradise. Imagine, this 51,100-sqare-km Central American nation (about two-thirds the size of Scotland) lays claim to 850 of the nearly 10,000 known bird species in the world. We managed to see and/or photograph around 90 different birds and are planning a return trip to add more.”
