The Costa Rica Trip
March 26 - April 6, 2009
A ~11 day birding
trip with brother Rich and the Lower Columbia Basin Audubon Society,
visiting some of the best birding locations in Costa Rica. We started
in San Jose, then stayed 1 night in the Pacific
transition zone near Carara National Park, 2 nights further north in
the shadow of Arenal Volcano, 3 nights at Selva Verde on the lower
Carribean slope, and 3 nights in the highlands at Savegre Mountain
Lodge. The group spotted 323 species total, with great sightings of
many of the target species. I added 199 new life birds and 121 new bird
photo species.
