Costa Rica Blog 4 Rancho Naturalista Birds 1

Rancho Naturalista is a lodge devoted to birding.   We had three days there and had great walks, great food, and good companionship.  Luis Murillo was our excellent guide, including joining Dave for a white water rafting experience. 
Here is the first of two blogs from Rancho Naturalista
