This Yellow-throated Toucan at Laguna del Lagarto wasn’t bothered at all by the rain. Note: Except where noted otherwise, all photos in this trip report were taken by Jay Packer. www.tropicalbirding.com +1- 409-515-9110 [email protected] Page 1 Tropical Birding Trip Report Costa Rica Photo Journey: July 2017 Introduction This Costa Rican photo journey featured visits to five regions of this small Central American country. We covered the moist Caribbean slope, Caribbean lowlands, dry forests on the Pacific slope, a large tropical river, and cloud forests of the volcanic highlands. The clients on the tour were a young couple and their 8-month old son. Given the considerations of traveling with an infant, the pace of the tour was relaxed and much of the photography was done at feeders or from the car. Even so, the diversity of Costa Rica was impressive as we encountered almost 200 species, photographing most of the targets that we hoped to see. Photographic highlights of the trip included stunning shots of toucan species in the rain, great hummingbird multiflash photography, a nesting pair of Turquoise-browed Motmots, Spectacled Owl, King Vultures, Resplendent Quetzal, very cooperative Great Green and Scarlet Macaws, Costa Rican Pygmy-Owl, and more. 16 July 2017 We began the tour with a drive out of San Jose to the well known Casa de Cope, west of Guápiles.

El valor de los diversos paisajes agrícolas en la conservación de las poblaciones de aves es útil para determinar los planes de desarrollo de diversidad consciente. Sin embargo, los resultados generalizados de los estudios a escala regional no se pueden aplicar a los hábitats de aves insulares. Este estudio sirve como el único estudio de la diversidad aviar actual de las tierras altas de Chiriquí. Para determinar el efecto del uso de la tierra agrícola dentro de un hábitat aviar insular, comparé aviar diversidad y sitio similitud población en Guadalupe, Chiriquí tierras altas de la Cordillera de Talamanca, Panamá.

Yet, it was still too early to experience the real explosion of bird song, which usually happens after dawn. Then, after 05:30 AM, the chorus started when a vocal Great Kiskadee broke the morning silence, followed by the scratchy notes of two Hoffmann´s Woodpeckers, a nesting pair of Inca Doves, the ascending and monotonous song of the Yellow-bellied Elaenia, and the cacophony of an (apparently!) engaged pair of Rufous-naped Wrens. This was indeed a warm welcome to magical Costa Rica! To complement the first morning of birding, two boreal migrants, Baltimore Orioles and a Tennessee Warbler, joined the bird feast just outside the hotel area. Broad-billed Motmot . Photo: D. Ascanio © Victor Emanuel Nature Tours 2 The Best of Costa Rica, 2019 After breakfast, we drove towards the volcanic ring of Costa Rica. Circling the slope of Poas volcano, we eventually reached the inspiring Bosque de Paz. With its hummingbird feeders and trails transecting a beautiful moss-covered forest, this lodge offered us the opportunity to see one of Costa Rica´s most difficult-to-see Grallaridae, the Scaled Antpitta.

We enjoyed great weather for birding, with almost no morning rain throughout the trip, and just a few delightful afternoon and evening showers. Comfortable accommodations, iconic landscapes, abundant, delicious meals, and our charismatic driver Luís enhanced our time in the field. Our group, made up of a mix of first- timers to the tropics and more seasoned tropical birders, got along wonderfully, with some spying their first-ever toucans, motmots, puffbirds, etc. on this trip, and others ticking off regional endemics and hard-to-get species. We were fortunate to have several high-quality mammal sightings, including three monkey species, Derby’s Wooly Opossum, Northern Tamandua, and Tayra.

  • Implications of Deforestation for the Abundance of Restricted-Range Bird Species in a Costa Rican Cloud-Forest
    Bird Conservation International (2008) 18:11–19. ß BirdLife International 2008 doi: 10.1017/S0959270908000038 Printed in the United Kingdom Implications of deforestation for the abundance of restricted-range bird species in a Costa Rican cloud-forest VICENCIO OOSTRA, LAURENS G. L. GOMES and VINCENT NIJMAN Summary Central America is a region of great avian diversity, and the highlands of Costa Rica and Panama are particularly rich in endemic bird species. Continuing deforestation has destroyed large parts of the birds’ natural habitats in this region. The ability of birds to use non-forest habitats will ultimately determine their vulnerability to further deforestation, and knowledge of their habitat use is therefore essential in planning conservation strategies. We examined the effects of deforestation on the abundance of restricted-range bird species in the southern Costa Rican part of the Talamanca mountain range. We used line-transect distance sampling to obtain densities in forest and non-forest habitats. Most (22/28) restricted-range species were recorded in forest and non-forest. Of 28 restricted-range species, 13 species showed a clear preference for forest and 8 for non-forest, and total numbers were one-and-a-half times higher as high in forest compared with non-forest. Of the 10 most common species, one was more abundant in non-forest and seven were more abundant in forest. We conclude that forest is the primary habitat for the majority of the restricted-range avifauna, and their dependence on forest makes them particularly vulnerable to deforestation. Adequate protection of the forests in these mountains is therefore the best assurance of the long-term survival of these birds.

We targeted birds that are not only colorful or unique, but easy to photograph. Some of the highlights from this tour included Thicket Antpitta, Turquoise-browed Motmot, FIVE Resplendent Quetzales, a Three-toed Sloth, and up close encounters with Ferruginous Pygmy-Owls. www.tropicalbirding.com +1 (409) 515-9110 [email protected] Tropical Birding Trip Report Costa Rica Photo Journey – February 2017 2/19/2017 Having arrived in San José the night before, we started off or first full day with a sunny morning as we drove through Braulio Carrillo National Park. It was the first time I had ever seen clear skies in this area. We descended the Caribbean side and went straight to Cope’s place west of Guápiles. His backyard sanctuary has both fruit feeders and hummingbird feeders, and it was an exciting start when the very first wildlife we encountered there was a sloth! It was hanging upside down and being very photogenic as we snapped away at the gentle face.

    COSTA RICA CUSTOM TOUR TRIP REPORT 16 FEBRUARY – 5 MARCH 2020 By Eduardo Ormaeche Ornate Hawk-Eagle www.birdingecotours.com [email protected] 2 | TRIP REPORT Costa Rica: February 2020 Overview Our Costa Rica 2020 tour was a photographic trip focusing on the birds and wildlife that this fascinating country has to offer. Without the rush to build a large list of species but rather with the intention to get a large amount of good photos while enjoying bird sightings and behavior we had a fantastic time on our trip. We started our trip in Alajuela near San José’s Juan Santamaría International Airport and from there drove across the country, visiting different areas including the Caribbean lowlands in the north with obligatory stops at La Selva Biological Station, Sarapiquí, the Cinchona feeders, and the private Donde Cope nature center. Our time here was fantastic; we had the opportunity to see and photograph birds such as the endemic Coppery-headed Emerald, Black-bellied Hummingbird, Semiplumbeous Hawk, Great Green Macaw, White-tipped Sicklebill, Great Potoo, Spectacled Owl, Violet Sabrewing, Red-headed Barbet, Prong-billed Barbet, Blue-throated Toucanet, Yellow-throated Toucan, Keel-billed Toucan, White- necked Puffbird, Buff-fronted Quail-Dove, Black Guan, Buff-rumped Warbler, and the fabulous Snowcap. Our trip continued to the cloudforest mountains at San Gerardo de Dota at the famous Savegre Hotel, where we managed to record species such as Large-footed Finch, Yellow-thighed Finch, Spotted Wood Quail, Wrenthrush, Hairy Woodpecker, Long-tailed Silky-flycatcher, Black- and-yellow Phainoptila, Golden-browed Chlorophonia, Acorn Woodpecker, Slaty Flowerpiercer, Fiery-throated Hummingbird, Talamanca Hummingbird, Volcano Junco, Timberline Wren, and the most-wanted Resplendent Quetzal.
