BIRDWATCHING
|
 |
Did
you know that there are more bird species in Costa Rica than in the
entire United States and Canada combined?
Yes,
Costa Rica is home to over 850 bird species
all within a
country the size of Wales!
The
potential this our country has for bird-watching and wildlife observation
is simply enormous, being described by many Ornithologists as matchless
anywhere else on earth.
|
| It
has been frequently said that Costa Rica is "nature's treasure
chest of birds'', this surely is no exaggeration but it is the pursuit
of the more elusive birdwatcher's dream, like the Great Tinamou, Rufous
Motmot, Slaty-backed Forest Falcon, Coppery-headed Emerald, Mangrove
Hummingbird, Ocellated Antbird and even the Resplendent Quetzal -
a bird endemic to Central American bird, considered sacred by the
ancient Mayan civilization - which can with patience and good fortune,
turn your expedition into an experience of a lifetime. |
