Costa Rica Birding
Costa Rica is known well among serious bird watchers, but many people who would never consider the activity at home, quickly have become very interested in the country's spectacular avian diversity.
With almost 850 species of birds - more than the total of what North America has in all packed into one small area. This just makes it a great place to find an avian paradise.
One of the many reasons for Costa Rica's extraordinary bird life is the country's great variety of habitats: rain forests, mangrove swamps, beaches, cloud forest, rivers, and more.
Birders from North America who enjoy their Costa Rica bird watching vacation during the northern winter invariably recognize familiar faces in the forest, since many species of warblers, flycatchers, vireos, orioles, etc. migrate to Costa Rica every winter. So though one might feel far away, the birds bring comfort in relation.

| MA: Tagging Stripers, The Cape Codder, 2005-01-08 In this cold bleak season, one card in his mailbox can bring back a summer day to Paul DiDomenico. Sent from the American Littoral Society, the card would tell of the recapture of one of his tagged striped bass. It's always a thrill, Paul says, to compare this information with records from the day of the tagging. How far had that bass traveled? |
