Birds of Costa Rica

Costa Rica – 2019. Costa Rica has a lot of birds. We did a boat tour through a part of the Tortuguero National Park on the east coast, another boat trip across Lake Arenal in the central highlands and also on the Tempsique River in Cipanci National Wildlife reserve in the western part of the country. I did a hike through Monteverde Cloud Forest Biological Reserve and visited the Monteverde Hummingbird Gallery which is just outside the entrance to the Reserve.
