Welcome, birders! Here, you'll see videos in their natural habitat and feeders throughout Costa Rica. Most of the footage is shot in the rainforest around Lago Arenal in Northern Costa Rica.
Resident birds to this part of Costa Rica include a variety of colorful Tanagers, Honeycreepers, Woodpeckers, Aracari Toucans, Clay-Colored Thrush (the national bird of Costa Rica), Magpie Jays, Euphonias, Saltators, Kiskadees, Montezuma Oropendula, Chachalacas, and others. Migrating birds include Baltimore Orioles, Black-Cowled Orioles, Nicaraguan Grackles, and others.
Sounds you might hear in the background include Keel-Billed Toucans, Black-Mandible Toucans (aka Chestnut-Mandible Toucans), Owls, Parrots, Parakeets, Laughing Falcons, Vultures, Crested Guans, and other raptors. If you hear a deep growl, those are male Howler Monkeys.
Thanks for visiting. I hope you enjoy the beautiful birds as much as we do!
