Ten Days in Costa Rica.
A lot of blogs with a lot of birds. Please be patient.
Here is the first two days, spent in the 4 acres of gardens behind Bougainvellea Hotel in San Jose.
 |
| Flying out over Miami |
 |
| Flying over Cuba! A place some day I hope to go birding. |
 |
| A view of the gardens from my balcony |
 |
| An enormous tree covered in orchids. |
 |
| And my first bird photo in CR, a Rufous-capped Warbler |
 |
| Tropical Kingbird |
 |
| Rufous-naped Wren |
 |
And the real star of the garden,
a Blue-crowned Mot-Mot,
recently renamed the Lesson's Mot-Mot
|
 |
| And a wonderful bird. |
 |
One of the most-seen birds in CR,
the Blue-grey Tanager
|
 |
| Rufous-naped Wren again |
 |
Clay-colored Tanager, the National bird of Costa-Rica
Very non-descript, until you here him sing!
|
 |
| White-eared Ground Sparrows |
 |
| An immature Baltimore Oriole |
 |
| Swainson's Thrush |
 |
Rufous-tailed Hummingbird.
I chased him around for two days, and finally got a photo.
|
 |
| White-winged Dove |
 |
Probably the most common-sighted bird in CR
Rufous-collared Sparrow
