Costa Rica offers you the most beautiful exotic birds
surrounded by the most spectacular landscapes and rich
coast line. It is a birdwatcher's delight and one of
the favorite destinations in the world.We made it to the rainforest campsite about the same time as the first crimson rays of sunlight filtered through the rainforest canopy. Over a breakfast of coffee and sweet rolls we listened to a cacophony of jungle wake-up sounds, hundreds of creatures struggling to make themselves heard. No small portion of the calls came from birds.
Roger would cock a thoughtful ear to one side for a moment or two and pronounce the name of the bird that had made the sound.
The most interesting sighting at the jungle camp was a pair of Mealy Parrots, large impressive birds that squawked outrageously for the duration of breakfast. It was a first for me, but Roger and Sharon had already logged it elsewhere. Preparing to set out through the forest, Roger described the type of Costa Rica Bird Watching , areas with thick under story and vine growth. Antbirds and manakins were what they really hoped to see. I pretended to know what they were talking about.
Corcovado National Park and the Lapa
Rios chief rainforest reserve are prime bird viewing
areas. Other Bird Watching areas are Carara National
Park, Manual Antonio National Park, Palo Verde National
Park, Rain Forest and Rio Perlas, Sarapiqui Canopy and
Rain Forest and Tortuquero Nationa l Park.
The sheer size of Costa Rica's bird population has prompted some intriguing food-gathering methods. The jacamar snaps up insects on the wing with an audible click of its beak. One species of epicurean kite has a bill like an escargot fork which it uses to pick snails from their shells. The attila, like its namesake a ruthless killer, devours its frog victims whole after bashing them against a tree.
