Costa Rica Bird List

December 08th - 20th

These are the bird species that I saw while I was in Costa Rica. This list should only include species that I haven't seen before.

La Selva   (Dec 09th - 10th)

Birds (this list only includes new life birds, we saw a bunch of others as well)

A little over half these life birds was seen with a guide at La Selva. Only myself, Josh, and Melissa went on the trip so we got to see everything he did. The trip was from 8am till around 11am and we got 59 birds that morning. The rest we got on our own the first day. They got several new ones the third day that I didnt because I was just spending that day herping.
