Costa Rica
03 July 2016 – 16 July 2016
During our 2 weeks of trip in Costa Rica we encountered 420 species (IOC) including 5 endemics and 63 near-endemics; a high count for such a short trip! We travel in a more budget mode than most of the birders coming in Costa Rica, avoiding the expensive lodges and reserves.
We visited the country in an unsual period, as most people come there during the winter months (dry season). We were during the wet season. It was raining every days but mainly in the end of the afternoon (when the birds were less active). The weather was no problem for birdwatching except in the highest part of PN Los Quetzales (Cerro de la Muerte) where it was always raining or very wet with a dense fog. The number of species observed is relatively high in comparaison of what we read on the other trip report; maybe the birds are more active or easier to encounter during the rainy season. Despite the summer season, we observed a rather important number of migratory waders, especially in Chomes (presumably early migrants and estivants) as well as a 2nd year American Redstart (estivant?) in San José!

First on the edge of the pond in front of the air field on the right side of the road from San Vito. There we encountered Chiriqui Yellowthroat and Bran-colored Flycatcher. The second spot was around the wetland in the southeast of the airstrip. We observed from a small hill near the main road on the south of the wetland.

Dos Brazos
We spend two days on the Penisula de Osa. We slept in Los Mineros Guesthouse, a cheap (ca.35 USD/night for 2 persons) and nice option and well located to explore the nearly forest. It is not necessary to sleep in an expensive lodge there to have a huge bird list; the proof, we encountered an amazing total of 127 bird species including 1 endemic and 10 near-endemics.
We explored several paths going up to the different ridges around the hamlet of Dos Brazos. All trails were interesting and held several interesting species but the one on the north-east of the hamlet was maybe the most productive (08°31'52.70"N, 83°24'36.33"W). We found easily the endemic Black-cheeked Ant-tanager with couples observed at four different locations. Other observations of interest around Dos Brazos included King Vulture, Blue Ground Dove, Costa Rican Swift, Golden-naped Woodpecker, Long-tailed Woodcreeper, Black-hooded Antshrike (common), Russet Antshrike, Black-faced Antthrush, Turquoise Cotinga, Blue-crowned Manakin, Orange-collared Manakin, Sulphur-rumped Myiobius, Ruddy-tailed Flycatcher, Northern Schiffornis, Scrub Greenlet, Black-bellied Wren, Riverside Wren and White-throated Shrike-Tanager.

The site was good for water birds. We observed a big group of Wood Storks and also Yellow-crowned Night-heron, Sanderling and White-rumped Sandpiper.

Puerto Viejo de Sarapiquí area
We stayed in the nice and friendly Posada Andrea Christina in Puerto Viejo de Sarapiqui; a cheaper option than the lodge of La Selva. We encountered 119 species around the area without properly visiting the expensive reserve of La Selva.
Around Puerto Viejo de Sarapiquí, we mainly walked the trails in front of the posada starting near the farm (10°27'9.25"N, 84°01'3.67"W) up to the river. This itinerary was pretty productive with some nice species like Grey Hawk, Blue Ground Dove, Rufous-tailed Jacamar, Rufous-winged Woodpecker, Olive-throated Parakeet, Great Green Macaw, Snowy Cotinga (10°26'59.01"N, 84°01'6.30"W), Red-capped Manakin, Olive-crowned Yellowthroat, Red-shouldered Blackbird, Dusky-faced Tanager and Blue-black Grosbeak.
Target species
- Great Green Macaw Ara ambiguus
- Snowy Cotinga Carpodectes nitidus
- Olive-crowned Yellowthroat Geothlypis semiflava
Facilities & accommodation
We were sleeping for 2 nights in the nice Posada Andrea Christina, a cheaper option than the other lodges like in La Selva.
Butterfly Garden
We just stopped briefly at the abandoned butterfly garden/ecotourism known as El Tapir. The site was closed but it was no problem to observe from the road. We saw Snowcap, Carmiol's Tanager and Blue-black Grosbeak here.
Target species
- Snowcap Microchera albocoronata
Quebrada Gonzalez
We visited the Quebrada Gonzalez sector of the Braulio Carrillo NP twice, one in the late afternoon and one in the morning. We observed some species that we recorded only here like Emerald and Black-and-yellow Tanagers, other noteworthy birds included White-ruffed Manakin, Ruddy-tailed Flycatcher, Northern Nightingale-Wren, Tawny-faced Gnatwren, Black-headed Nightingale-Thrush, White-throated Shrike-Tanager, Carmiol's Tanager and Black-faced Grosbeak.
Target species
- Black-faced Grosbeak Caryothraustes poliogaster
- Black-and-yellow Tanager Chrysothlypis chrysomelas
- White-throated Shrike-Tanager Lanio leucothorax
- Blue-and-gold Tanager Bangsia arcaei
Facilities & accommodation
We stay for one night in the Casona Tica Linda, a nice and cheap place (33 USD/nights for 2 persons) located south of Puerto Viejo de Sarapiqui.
Other wildlife observed
Strawberry Poison-dart Frog (Oophaga pumilio)
La Selva Biological Station
As we didn’t want to pay the relatively expensive entrance (for very few target species) we just along the main road leading from the car park and along a small trail in the North of La Selva. Without a visit in this iconic reserve, we still encountered 119 species in this region, including most of the emblematic species.
Along the road to La Selva, we heard Great Tinamou and observed Great Curassow, Olive-throated Parakeet, White-ringed Flycatcher and Black-faced Grosbeak.
We explored twice (once in the evening and once in the morning) the area in the North of La Selva near the river. We encountered several interesting species like Great Tinamou, Anhinga, Sunbittern, Short-tailed Nighthawk, Slaty-tailed Trogon, Rufous Motmot and Scarlet-rumped Cacique. We also observed a Neotropical River Otter along the river.
Target species
- Great Curassow Crax rubra
- Sunbittern Eurypyga helias
- Slaty-tailed Trogon Trogon massena
- Black-faced Grosbeak Caryothraustes poliogaster
Other wildlife observed
Neotropical River Otter (Lontra longicaudis)
