It is a wonderful country; small and easy to get around with lay back people and amazing biodiversity. And as much as statistics can summarise a wonderful three week experience; we managed to see over 500 species [including 39 spp of Hummingbirds] for our group; truly an outstanding effort in a three week period.<br />
<br />
Full credit for the success of the trip must go to Costa Rica and only slightly less to our wonderful guide Diego Quesada. <span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;">Our birding with Diego was simply excellent! Costa Rica is indeed a brilliant destination for any naturalist however to travel with Diego made it even more so. He is probably the best bird guide I have ever had for any group I have organised anywhere in the world. His knowledge of birds, their habits, their songs and calls are all first class. His eye sight, aided I'm sure by experience, is amazing.</span><span style="background-color: white;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;">Diego was a tourist guide before becoming a birding guide and it showed. He is a patriot of his Costa Rican homeland and he knows information and stories of geography, history, politics, environmental issues and current affairs well. This extra knowledge really added to our experience so we came away knowing much more than [some of] the birds. Costa Rica, I now believe, has many positive lessons to teach other countries. It was also our luck to be in the nation while a national election was taking place and we were delighted to allow Diego half a day off to travel so he could vote. His passion towards the politics and thus future of his nation was a joy, I'm sure, to all of us. He has energy, a sense of humour, patience and is able to read a group of people very well. </span><span style="background-color: white;">I am looking forward to birding and travelling with him again. I have already taken the liberty of recommending his services to others.</span></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7Pn3_FQ6bDusH_c5VO3Be5b1yPjpT1oO0djgvTN_I8bmJEB55cVUQWPk1C7yLUAJHDRNM39M0hOkNU5IIXcBG30jMN4j0i1O0G8HQi8Vemw6Dhk0oJBAUSOofxu-cdU3manqYLMxdL-CN/s1600/bb.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7Pn3_FQ6bDusH_c5VO3Be5b1yPjpT1oO0djgvTN_I8bmJEB55cVUQWPk1C7yLUAJHDRNM39M0hOkNU5IIXcBG30jMN4j0i1O0G8HQi8Vemw6Dhk0oJBAUSOofxu-cdU3manqYLMxdL-CN/s320/bb.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Our driver, too, deserves a mention and a large vote of our appreciation. Johnny Chaves. Like Diego he has become our friend. His driving kept us safe on sometimes challenging roads most importantly and he really gave you the sense that hothing asked for was ever a bother when often it simply must have been. His words to me, posted after the trip summarises the man better than i could hope to [and I hope that he doesn't dislike me too much for posting them!].</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i>"Hi, Great Chief. I hope the group is well [snip] I want to thank all of you for visiting Costa Rica and enjoying my country. It was a great pleasure to have taken them to all the places we visited and I am very happy to have some dear friends in a country as far away and as beautiful as Australia. I want to apologize for my not very good English and because on many occasions it was difficult for me to understand them by their accent. I want to wish you a very good trip. May God bless each one of you and your families ... and above all, know that Costa Rica has some friends. I hope this is not the last time we see each other, that maybe next year we will see each other again. Thank you very much for everything and a big hug. I miss you all very much."</i><br /><br />
During our tour we had a vote every evening for our bird of the day and then, at trip's end, through a voting process we worked out Bird[s] of the trip.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Twenty-two species received a vote, out of a possible 36, showing a wide range of preference for species. This reflects both the variety of methodology and the great diversity and attractiveness of Costa Rican species. The winner, Sunbittern, only received 3 votes (9 points from only a quarter of the group) but they were all first preferences. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Equal second species, Bare-throated Tiger-Heron and Streak-chested Antpitta, each received 4 votes (8 points), a first, 2 seconds, and a third. Fourth place, Resplendant Quetzal had two first places (6 points), nine other species had a total of 3 points, 5 had 2 points, and 4 had one point only. Six out of 12 birders choose as first preference a species that no one else cast a vote for, highlighting the individuality of choice among the group.There wasn't a single vote for the two macaw species.</span></div>

<b><i>La Selva Biological Station is a protected area encompassing 1,536 ha of low-land tropical rain forest in northeastern Costa Rica. It is owned and operated by the Organization for Tropical Studies, a consortium of universities and research institutions from the United States, Costa Rica, and Puerto Rico. Recognized internationally as one of the most productive field stations in the world for tropical forest research and peer-reviewed publications, La Selva hosts approximately 300 scientists and 100 university courses every year. The primary goal of La Selva Biological Station is to preserve and protect an intact forest, as well as providing laboratory facilities for tropical research and education. The research potential of the area is not only vital to tropical ecology, but it is also an important location in the effort to study relations between local communities and protected areas. In addition, its high diversity and ease of access to the Puerto Viejo-Horquetas highway makes La Selva an important ecotourism destination and environmental education center for tourists and the local community.</i></b><br />

<span face=""century gothic" , sans-serif" lang="ES-CR" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;">From Arenal we visited a small bird feeding area; closeby to where we enjoyed lunch the previous day. This was a small family run affair that traded on the reliability of three toed sloths in their local patch. The area was good for birds too, including a few specials. </span><br />
<span face=""century gothic" , sans-serif" lang="ES-CR" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span>
<span face=""century gothic" , sans-serif" lang="ES-CR" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;">A hide and feeder had been established and there was a little wet soak area. </span><br />
<span face=""century gothic" , sans-serif" lang="ES-CR" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span>
<span face=""century gothic" , sans-serif" lang="ES-CR" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;">The feeders were attracting an avalanche of Chachalacas when we arrived plus a drip feed of Tanagers. The soak had a White throated Crake turn up. We were also lucky enough to score a Uniform Crake crossing the track a little further away. </span><br />

Our itinerary today was altered today to target a special bird - the Three wattled Bellbird. We were taken to a remnant area of forest that was surrounded by dairy farms and here we heard and then saw the Bellbirds. These birds, like other Cotingas have lekking grounds where the males assemble to perform and 'sing'. Their song is very loud and impossible to describe and as the picture below shows their bill needs to be open quite wide to allow it to happen! The males, happily for us, sit merrily exposed at the tops of trees for maximum sound and vision effect. Alas we saw no females but we hope their efforts were not in vain.<br />
<br />
A few other good species were seen here including Tropical Parula, Tawny crowned Euphonia, Sulphur bellied Flycatcher to name a few.<br />

Next stop was lunch and while lunch was being perpared we enjoyed the feeders at a nearby Bungy jumping attraction. Highlights included two new Tanager spp - Crimson coloured below plus a brief view of Blue and Gold Tanager which eluded most viewers and all cameras. Diego also got an Emrald Tanager but for everyone else it was a sp that got away! A Waterthrush was seen here; which Diego considered later that it was probably / possibly a Louisiana due to elevation preference of the spp. Good views of the bird though were lacking!<div><br />

a single crater at its summit, with minor fumaroles activity, covered by dense
vegetation. In 1968 it erupted unexpectedly, destroying the small town of
Tabacón. Due to the eruption three more craters were created on the western
flanks but only one of them still exists today. Since 2010, Arenal has been

Negro Wildlife Refuge is a RAMSAR site that protects hundreds of hectares of
wetland habitats. During the months of January to May large concentrations of migratory
wetland species happen in the lagoons and along Rio Frio. Our early boat tour
will bring many interesting target species, including the elusive Agami Heron,
Royal Flycatcher, Jabiru and possibly the 6 species of Kingfishers present in
the country. After lunch we will go drive to Medio Queso Wetlands, where we
will also have the chance to add more species to the day, including Nicaragua
Grackle, Nicaraguan Seed-Finch, Pinnated Bittern and Lesser Yellow-headed

morning following breakfast we will be exploring Tenorio National Park, famous
for the Heavenly blue Rio Celeste Waterfall. Although the birding in the Park tends
to be slow because of noisy tourists, the beauty of this natural wonder is
enough reason to spend the morning here. After lunch we will drive to the Caño

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">From the <u><b>Tico Times</b></u> [Costa Rican English Language newspaper] <b style="font-style: italic;">- Living in massive colonies of up to 5 million members, leaf-cutter ants (Atta cephalotes*) have walked the Earth for millions of years. The resilient ants can even be found streaming through the street gutters of San José in their characteristic sea of green leaves. Moving along their forged path, each ant will carry a piece of leaf up to three times its own weight.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><i><b><br /></b></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>Common sense would indicate that the ants feed on the tiny leaf pieces, but leaf-cutters actually use the clippings to cultivate their own fungal garden. To sustain this production, the ants have evolved intricate societies that are now among the oldest and most elaborate on earth.</b></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><i><b><br /></b></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i style="font-size: medium;"><b>Leaf-cutter ants’ millennia-long existence can be attributed to their relationships with other organisms. Using leaves cut from trees, the ants cultivate a fungus from which they feed. Studies show that leaf-cutting ants have been cultivating the same strain of fungus for at least 23 million years. Neither the ants nor the fungus can survive without the other, and this link is perhaps the best recognized example of mutual symbiosis, the dependance of two species on each another.</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><i><b><br /></b></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>The two species are so inter-connected that each new colony begins with both an ant and a fungal growth. A new queen will take a small bit of fungus from the colony where she is born before flying off. The queen will then mate before taking the fungus underground to form the new colony.</b></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><i><b><br /></b></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>The first days for a newly anointed colony queen are busy. Along with nursing her young, the queen has to begin growing a new fungal garden by feeding it with her feces. Soon, the queen’s first set of young are large enough to leave the nest to cut leaves to continue to feed the fungus. As the fungus expands, so does the colony.</b></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><i><b><br /></b></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>But the ants’ monoculture fungal garden is extremely susceptible to another type of parasitic fungus that the ants cannot ingest. Left uncontrolled, the fungus will form a white growth over the ants’ garden, rendering it inedible and leaving the colony to starve. To combat this threat, the ants — already the world’s first farmers — became the world’s first pharmacists.</b></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><i><b><br /></b></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>Female leaf-cutters carry a small patch on their cuticle that grows the bacteria Streptomyces. The ants spread this bacteria over leaves and fungi in the garden to kill other types of fungi. Not only does this particular bacteria ward off parasitic fungi for the leaf-cutters, but it also is found in more than half of the antibiotics in modern medicine today.</b></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>To manage the enormous tasks required for a farming ant colony, leaf-cutters have divided roles, or castes. Leaf-cutters, like many insects, are polymorphic, meaning that within each species there are a number of different body types, each suited to a specific task.</b></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><i><b><br /></b></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>Queens, the colonies’ founders, have wings to fly off to start another colony, and are the only fertile female ants in any given colony. Their sole job is reproduction, which is aided by drones, or small, winged males that fly from colony to colony to help queens reproduce.</b></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><i><b><br /></b></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>The rest of the ants in the colony are infertile females tasked with protecting the nest and caring for the fungal garden. Soldier ants are the largest in the colony and, as the name implies, are responsible for guarding the other ants from predators. Next down the line are the workers, which forage and cut leaves and carry them back to the colony. There, they pass the leaves on to the smallest ants, the minima, which use their small size to work inside the colony tunnels. These ants are responsible for gardening, feeding other ants, caring for young ants and cleaning other ants and leaves.</b></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><i><b><br /></b></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>Leaf-cutters also divide themselves by age and ability. The colonies put their older, weaker ants to work in the colony’s garbage dump. These ants are quickly infected with parasitic fungus and usually do not live long. Their bodies then die in the waste dump away from the healthy ants.</b></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><i><b><br /></b></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>Biologists estimate that the ants manage to clear as much as 15 percent of the leaves in Neotropical forests for their fungal gardens indicating massive populations. Today the ants are among the most evolutionary successful creatures on the planet, having survived for tens of millions of years.</b></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><i><b><br /></b></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>So the next time you walk through the forest, turn your head from the trees and skies and direct your gaze down for a glimpse at the oldest society on the planet.</b></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><i><b><br /></b></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>*Note: There are seven species of leaf-cutting ants found in Costa Rica. Atta cephalotes are the most common.</b></i></span></div>

Today we will spend the morning birding the grounds of the hotel. Located in a low-pass between two major peaks on the lower slopes of the Tenorio Volcano, Las Heliconias offers an exciting combination of foothill birding with influence from both Pacific and Caribbean avifauna. In its 180 acres private reserve, the lodge maintains about 3 miles of forest trails including 3 hanging bridges that provide access to the canopy of the forest.<br />

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt;">After breakfast we will be heading to Hacienda Solimar, a private
wetland that provides important habitat for many water-dependent species, and
one of the few places in the North Pacific that remains wet all-year around.
Solimar is of vital importance for the conservation of the Jabiru Stork, and is
the most reliable site in Costa Rica to find this remarkable bird. </span></div>

will spend the morning birding the surroundings of our lodge. Located on the
mainland coast of the Gulf of Nicoya, La Ensenada is an active cattle ranch,
ecolodge and national wildlife refuge all in one. The habitat is a combination
of grazing pastures with scattered trees, second growth forest and some patches
of mature forest which will produce a great variety of dry forest specialties. </span><br />

<span lang="ES-CR" style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">Later in the day we drove to Chomes. This location offers a combination of shrimp ponds, mangroves and mudflats hosting some of the finest coastal birding in the country. Here we got a feast of waders; a rare Long billed Curlew, Marbled Godwits, Whimbrel, Willet, Stilt Sandpiper, Short billed Dowitcher, Semi-palmated, Western, Least and Spotted Sandpipers, Grey, Wilsons and Semi Palmated Plovers. There were also good numbers of Skimmers, Royal, Sandwich, Gull billed and Elegant Terns. Stilts were also present in good numbers. The location, as we were warned, was hot however there was a reasonable shaded vantage point for those willing to have a short walk. This position allowed very good views of multiple spp in good light. We stayed at the location for an hour and a half but the site and the sight of the birds flocking and flying, in my opinion, deserved more time. An occasion , one of the very few occasions on tour that made me a little irritated....</span><br />

Today we had our one and only huge driving day. We had been
forewarned.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We bought our luggage to the bus at 4-45 am and we were on
our way by 5am. WE arrived at Cerro Lodge at 5-15pm. So this was a long day by
most folks’ standards. And, of course, congratulations are due to our driver,
Johnny!!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Perhaps it was not as bad as it sounds though as we did fit
in plenty of time for birding and through that time we did find many new
species. And we did have time to sit down at lunch and have a seviche entre
plus whole cooked snapper for lunch. And we did stop and get excellent views of
Scarlet Macaw or, as Diego would say it, ‘Scarlet Mac-Cow’.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Our first birding stop was an agricultural area in the
lowlands [our lodge at Los Cruces was at about 1200 metres above sea level]. It

well.<o:p></o:p></div>

After lunch we visited a small wetland with the target a localised warbler fond of wetland habitats; sadly the bird was reluctant to show. I got a brief view of the warbler in flight before it again crashed into the long grass but the views were unconvincing to say the least. We visited the wetland twice in the afternoon and each visit offered a different perspective.<br />

<i><b>Acquired in 1941 by Dr. Alexander Skutch, this private Protected Wildlife Sight covers 192 acres. It is located in Quizarrá in the district of Pérez Zeledón, 130 kilometers southeast of San José. With the purpose of saving the sight of his work, the property was purchased in 1993 by the Tropical Science Center (TSC), a private non-profit organization that, since its founding in 1962, has dedicated itself to the study of nature and its relationship with human beings and of which Dr. Skutch was a member since 1964 until his death in 2004.</b></i><br />
<i><b><br /></b></i>
<i><b>Los Cusingos, (The Fiery-billed Aracaris), is a part of a biological corridor that bears the name of Mr. Alexander, initiating in this refuge at 800 meters above sea level and terminating in the Chirripó National Park at 3820 meters above sea level. Amongst the species of mammals found here are agoutis, white-throated capuchin monkeys, tayras, sloths and armadillos and amongst the avifauna there can be seen easily Fiery-billed Aracaris, cotingas, tanagers, honeycreepers, woodpeckers, hummingbirds, warblers, parrots and the Laughing Falcons, making this a sight predilect for bird-lovers.</b></i><br />
<i><b><br /></b></i>
<i><b> There are also a great variety of butterflies and thousands of insects. Amongst the plants, the ‘Chonta’ palms, ‘baco’ and ‘chiricano’ trees, figs and wild avocados stand out as part of the premontane very humid forest in the reserve.</b></i><br />
<i><b><br /></b></i>
<i><b>In respect to its water resources, Los Cusingos is transected by the Peñas Blancas River and as a sign of its cultural background, in the refuge are found archaeological remains called petroglyphs. The house where Dr. Skutch lived for more than 60 years and where he wrote more than 30 literary works has been converted by the TSC into a museum conserving his simple and austere life-style.</b></i><br />

<b>Alexander Frank Skutch</b><br />
<br />
<b>Alexander Frank Skutch (May 20, 1904 – May 12, 2004) was a naturalist and writer. He published numerous scientific papers and books about birds and several books on philosophy. He is best remembered ornithologically for his pioneering work on helpers at the nest.</b><br />

<b><br /></b>
<b>Alexander Skutch was born in Baltimore, Maryland. He received a Doctorate in Botany from Johns Hopkins University. He then found employment with United Fruit Company, which had a problem with banana diseases, for which it needed the expertise of a botanist. After an initial stay in Jamaica, Skutch traveled to Guatemala, Panama and Honduras. During this time he fell in love with the tropics and also acquired a deep interest in birds. He began studying their habits. Skutch collected plants for museums to make money, but observing birds remained his life’s main focus.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>In 1941 Skutch purchased a farm in Costa Rica. There, as one of the writers of his obituary said:</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"A lifelong vegetarian, Skutch grew corn, yucca and other crops, and, without running water until the 1990s, bathed and drank from the nearest stream. He believed in "treading lightly on the mother Earth". With his wife Pamela, daughter of the English naturalist, botanist, and orchidologist Charles H. Lankester, whom he married in 1950, and their adopted son Edwin, he stayed there for the rest of his life."</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<br />
<b>Skutch wrote over 40 books and over 200 papers on ornithology, preferring a descriptive style and eschewing statistics and even banding. He died eight days before his 100th birthday, in the same year that he received the Loye and Alden Miller Research Award. He is universally regarded as one of the world's greatest ornithologists.</b><br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Los Cruces Biological Station</span></b><br />
<i><b><br /></b></i>
<b><i>Las Cruces is one of three biological stations owned and operated by the Organization for Tropical Studies (OTS) in Costa Rica. The station was acquired by OTS in 1973 and is located at 1200 m (3940 ft) along a spur of the Zapote coastal range, about 300 km southeast of the capital San José in Coto Brus County (8° 47' N, 82° 57' W). The nearest town, San Vito, is 6 km away and is the principal commercial center for the region.</i></b><br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
<b><i>The station is home to the Wilson Botanical Garden featuring beautifully diverse plantings of tropical and subtropical ornamentals, representatives of unusual plant families and rare and endangered plants from Costa Rica and elsewhere. Particularly well represented are ferns, aroids, bromeliads, gingers, heliconias, marantas, and palms. More than 1,000 genera in 212 plants families can be seen along the many trails that wind through the garden grounds that total some 12 hectares.</i></b><br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
<b><i>Las Cruces receives roughly 4 m of rainfall annually and harbors a distinct dry season from January – March. Afternoon mist and nightly fog characterize the wet season, but they also occur during the dry season and are thus important for maintaining the abundant epiphytic flora. Las Cruces protects a total of 266 hectares, of which a little over 200 are primary and some 50 hectares are secondary forest. The forest is classified as a Tropical Premontane Rainforest according to the Holdridge system and the topography is very rugged with elevation ranging from 1000 – 1350 m. This wide range in elevation allows for very high diversity and the forest is home to over 2,000 plant species. There are over 100 species of mammals at LCBS, of which 43 are bats and an impressive diversity of birds with both montane and lowland species represented. Over 400 bird species have been recorded at Las Cruces and a number of them are endemic to the region. Due to the altitude, reptiles are less diverse but an estimated 70 species have been reported. The station also has high invertebrate diversity and 1000s of insect species have been recorded.</i></b><br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
<b><i>Las Cruces forms part of the La Amistad Biosphere Reserve that encompasses 472,000 hectares of parkland and buffer zones centered in the southern Talamanca mountain range. Though La Amistad is only 40 kilometers from the Station, it is the largest and least-explored park in Central America, and for this reason Las Cruces offers excellent base-station facilities for researchers and visitors wishing to explore the park.</i></b><br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
<br />
<b><i>Despite the high diversity of the region, Coto Brus County is one of the most deforested in Costa Rica; it is also one of the most recently deforested. The area is highly fragmented and the regional landscape is made up of a mosaic of mixed-use agricultural fields. Originally this was principally a coffee growing region, however, most agricultural land has been converted to pasture in the last decade due to the global drop in coffee prices. Given the steepness of land and high annual rainfall, conversion to pasture has resulted in many environmental problems including soil erosion, water contamination, and flooding. Courses and researchers working out of the station can take advantage of these ready-made experimental sites for studies in conservation biology and restoration ecology.</i></b><br />

<i><b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></b></i><i><b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">"Cloudbridge is a private nature reserve that stretches from 1550m to 2600m (5085-8530 ft) in the Talamanca mountains of Costa Rica. Since 2002, 255 hectares (630 acres) of cattle pasture or cultivated land with a further 28 hectares (70 acres) of primary forest has been purchased by the reserve. Since it’s beginning, Cloudbridge has been dedicated to the conservation and reforestation of the cloudforest. As we have grown, education and research have played a large part in what we do; teaching the importance of and expanding our knowledge of this unique habitat for wildlife, sustainable tourism and climate change."</span></b></i><br />

This morning, straight after breakfast we climbed [well the bus] to nearly 3500 metres above sea level for breath- taking views across the high mountain palamo to the Pacific Coast. Here too there were birds.<br />

We also saw Volcano Hummingbird and several got reasonable views of Timberline Wren. Most spectacular of all we witnessed a spectacular assembly of Hawks as they migrated northward to the States and even Canada. They were mostly Broad-winged Hawks but there were a few Swainson's Hawks among them. They numbered in their thousands and they were massing to get onto the thermals early, rise as high as they can before gliding north and downwards through the day.<br />

Next stop was a private garden, Bolque del Tolomuco. Here
was more Costa Rican birding confusion. Where to look first? One part of the
garden had fruit feeders, two others Hummingbird feeders, flowering plants grew
everywhere including Aussie bottlebrush, and there was native forest vegetation
on the edges that held many invisible calling birds. <o:p></o:p></div>

Slowly we started working through the birds; Hummers
included the new White crested Coquette, Violet Sabrewing, Snowy bellied, White
throated Mountain Gem, Scintilant and Rufous tailed Hummingbirds, White tailed
Emerald and, finally, Green crowned Brilliant. Ruddy Pigeon gave good views.
Social Flycatcher, Tropical Kingbird, Paltry Tyranulet, Greater Kiskadee,
Common Tody Flycatcher and Tropical Peewee were the flycatchers seen. Warblers
included Tropical Parula, Tennessee, Chestnut sided and Wilson’s. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Red headed Barbets were seen well as well as
Streaked Tanager as well as old fav’s Silver throated and Golden hooded. White
naped Brush Finch were another new one. Elegant Euphonias were seen. Buff
throated Saltator’s were also seen well.<o:p></o:p></div>

First though, we had a little birding in and around the down
hill cabins. The chief target was a Pygmy Owl however it remained unseen.
Before we got there we had a brief but successful stake out for the Buffy
Tuftedcheek – this is a passerine closely related to the woodcreepers. The day
before we had seen it visit its nest which it had created in a road side
cutting. The nest had been apparently bored up under an overhang.<o:p></o:p></div>

Around the cabins the normal suspects were sighted; many of
the same species as the previous day however we finally all got good views of a
specie that Vince had photographed on our first full day in the gardens at the
Hotel Bouganvillea – a Rufous browed Peppershrike.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div>

Breakfast followed before a short drive to the National
Park. Here we managed to see a few more Quetzals. And a few Silky Flycatchers
of both species; Long tailed and Black and Yellow – the latter a lifer for all.
There was a few skulkers; Wrenthrush; which I realised I had seen in Tapanti NP
and Timberline Wren. Another lifer was the Barred Becard. Sooty capped
Chlorospingus, Black cheeked, Flame throated, Black throated Green and Wilsons
Warblers were seen. A family, at least six, Ruddy Treerunners were found. Both
Band tailed and Ruddy Doves did Fly-bys but to mind they were not tickable
views. Flycatchers included Mountain Elanea and Black capped F’catcher. A nice
line of Broad winged Hawks migrated on by. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Black billed Nightingale Thrush were also
common on the road sides. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div>

Lunch was hosted at a nearby Lodge where the main attraction
were Hummingbird feeders. Here four species were in constant activity;
Talamanca, Lesser Violet eared, the minute Volcano and a new specie for us
Fiery throated Hummingbird. They all put on a dizzying show. Flowerpiercers
were seen well as were the ridiculously named Big footed Finch.<o:p></o:p></div>

Post lunch it was agreed to have a lazy afternoon; so a
little birding by the feeders at Miriams while some visited a nearby Art
Gallery. Birds at the feeders included Big footed Finch, Yellow thighed Finch,
Acorn Woodpeckers, Flame coloured Tanagers, CC Thrush, RC Sparrow, Talamanca
and Volcano Hummingbirds, Wilson’s Warbler and Sooty capped Chlorospingus. LT
Silky Flycatchers and a couple of Band tailed Pigeons were seen roosting in
nearby trees. <o:p></o:p></div>

Breakfast was at 6am this morning
and after our standard breakfast of fruits, scrambled egg, potato, plantain and
rice and beans washed down with coffee and juice we completed the bird call
that fatigue had prevented the night before.<o:p></o:p></div>

A few birds around the front of
the hotel accompanied the bus packing and soon we were on our way out of the
city of San Jose. To take our minds of the traffic and to enrich them Diego
gave us a few lessons about Costa Rica. While he was speaking one could not
help reflect on how very good his English is. He had had lessons during high
school but he claims his language progressed more post school. However he did
it, he was more than competent. While I’m on the subject of Diego, I should add
that he is an excellent guide; thoughtful, knowledgeable, patient [so far..],
excellent knowledge of birds both with sight and sound, a good communicator who
is willing to share his stories and information about Costa Rican history,
geography, politics etc, he even feigns interest in our offers of information
about Australia!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 116.25pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><br /></span></div>

Costa Rica has achieved much for
a small nation and could act as an example for many nations, ours included.
Historically they did away with their armed forces, so to this day they have no
standing army. The money was channelled into Schools and Universities and a
universal health system. Diego claims that the Government run Costa Rica
University is among the highest regarded in Latin America and offers an
affordable education for Ticos. Environmentally the nation boasts a National
Park estate some 25% of the landmass plus a variety of other protected areas in
private or NGO hands. 85% of their electricity comes from a variety of renewable
sources; chiefly hydro and thermal with some wind. Solar remains
under-developed but I’m sure has real potential. 2020 was offered as a target
year to achieve 100% renewable energy; this remains a little optimistic but
with the conversion of the car fleet to electricity this could be achieved
within a decade of their stated targets. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 116.25pt;">Tapanti NP allowed us to start
seeing a few feeding flocks; Tanagers, Flycatchers, Warblers and Common
Chlorospingus were seen. Red headed Barbets were seen by some however quite a
few spp gave small frustrating glimpses only such that they remained unidentified.
A large Ornate Hawk Eagle flew by calling loudly. We scored excellent views of
a few spp seen poorly the day before; especially Red faced Spinetail, Tufted
Flycatcher, Slate throated Redstart. Swainson’s Thrush was seen as well as the
resident Pale vented Thrush, who we tracked to its nest was also seen well.
Another Euphonia was seen – Tawny crowned; another beauty.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 116.25pt;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 116.25pt;"><o:p></o:p></div>

After some excellent birding in
Tapanti lunch was called and we needed to drive for about half an hour to our
lunch locale. It took longer than that though as we saw [what should have been
the bird of the day]<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>a Sunbittern! This
is an excellent spp to see and I would claim we saw it well; including views of
the vivid wing pattern the bird exhibits in flight. Spotted Sandpiper was also
seen at this small creek as was good views of a Common Tody Flycatcher nesting.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 116.25pt;"><br /></div>

Lunch was at a small friendly
family run place which also had a great spread of feeders. Grackles, Thrushes,
Brown Jays competed with Orioles [Baltimore and Orchard – the latter a new spp
for the trip] and Tanagers [Passerini’s, Blue grey, Palm and Golden hooded] for
Fruit. The Golden hooded Tanager, which admittedly was stunning, was voted BIRD
OF THE DAY! Hummers included Rufous tailed, Green breasted Mango and, another newbie,
Garden Emerald. Bananaquits were common in the garden. A woodpecker was heard
loudly drumming but remained unseen. A few warblers were recorded; Yellow,
Mourning and Tennessee to go with Chestnut sided and Blackburnian that were
recorded in Tapanti NP. Lunch was the normal mix of Chicken, salad, rice and
beans; washed down with good coffee and followed by a tasty sponge cake – it
hit the spot.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 116.25pt;"><o:p></o:p><br />

After lunch we headed towards a
town, Paraiso, where in the middle of the town square, in the shadow of a large
Catholic church were a couple of Owl spp. The first was a Barn Owl that had
found a hollow of sorts within a large Palm tree. The next was perhaps more
impressive; a pair of Tropical Screech Owls, that were roosting near a
bromeliad and orchid packed tree, seemingly unconcerned by the throng of people
that peopled the park…<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 116.25pt;"><br /></div>

A small wetland on the outskirts
of the town yielded a few new spp for our trip list. Imagining the wetland,
from right to left, we had Little Blue Heron, Common Gallinule, Northern Jacana,
Blue winged Teal, Southern Lapwing and then more Blue winged Teal. Great-tailed
Grackles were also in attendance.<o:p></o:p></div>

After all these birds the day had
begun disappearing so the plan was to head for our accommodation – Mirriam’s
Quetzals. A brief stop was needed for Eastern Meadowlark and an even briefer
one for a Great Egret.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A fuel and toilet
stop was needed and then it was a drive with only the briefest pause for
another new spp, Sooty Thrush.<o:p></o:p></div>

Today we had the simple yet cunning plan of birding before breakfast, breakfast and then a day trip to the flanks of nearby volcanoes for a bit of birding.<br />
<br />
And that is how it worked out.<br />
<br />
We met Diego, our guide, in the grounds of our hotel at 6 am for a two hour stroll around the gardens. We started well with a few migrants; Yellow and Tennessee Warblers, Philadelphia and Yellow throated Vireos plus more and more Baltimore Orioles. Red billed Pigeons were a stand out high in the trees above and we enjoyed a fly over by a flock of Vaux's Swifts. A single solitary sandpiper flew over which we suspect must have been a Solitary Sandpiper.<div><br />

Strolling through we re-met many of the suspects from yesterday but added a few new ones; Cabani's Wren, Brown Jay, Grey headed Chachalaca, Collared Swifts, Bronzed Cowbirds and, least impressively of all, a large flock of Rock Pigeons.</div><div><br />

Soon after breakfast we drove out of town with our 'best new friend' Johnny at the wheel, enroute to the volcanoes near San Jose. The National Park proper was and still is closed due to volcanic activity so we made other arrangements.<br />
<br />
Enroute to Fraijanes we got good views of dark phase of Short tailed Hawk plus multiple Black and Turkey Vultures.<br />

First stop was a small park where many Hummingbird feeders had been positioned. Needless to say but I will say it; these feeders attracted a bewildering number of Hummers which will take us a while to sort....<br />
<br />
The park, too, was thoughtfully positioned across the road from a cafe that prepared us Strawberry Smoothies. Bloody yum.</div><div><br />

A little further up the road we stopped at an ancient and wild Avocado tree, rich in fruit unlike any avocado I have had experience with, that was also rich with birds. Mountain thrushes and a few of the ubiquitous Clay coloured Thrush dominated however there was a few Emerald Toucanets, which were ultimately voted Bird of the Day!! A couple of Euphonias were also briefly seen but not identified before they flew off; using the distribution maps it seems likely they were White crowned Euphonias.</div><div><br />

We stopped soon after for our lunch stop Chinchona - where they had kindly set up an awesome feeding station for both hummers and fruit eaters. Hummingbirds included Violet Sabrewing, Rufous tailed Hummingbird, White bellied Mountain Gem, Purple throated Mountain Gem, Green crowned Brilliant and the endemic Coppery headed Emerald. </div><div><br /></div><div>Other fantastic species included Bananaquit, Silver throated, Palm, Blue Grey and Passerini's and the migrant Summer Tanager. The Bird of the Day the Emerald Toucanets showed wonderfully. </div><div><br /></div><div>Another more discrete lifer was the Buff-fronted Quail dove which was skulking around on the forest floor. We also saw the Common Chlorospingus plus the similar sounding Golden browed Chlorophonia.</div><div><br /></div><div>Red tailed Squirrel was added to our mammal list as it fed on fruit - especially bananas. Outside the cafe, after an excellent lunch of local foods, we were treated to some astonishing views of an astonishing bird; the Swallow tailed Kite.</div><div><br />

We soon drove down a dirt track which took us towards a bridge crossing the river on the valley floor. The first bird we saw, albeit in silhouette, was a Crested Guan. Soon we encountered the Crowned Woodnymph [another Hummer] before good views fo the Slate throated Redstart [a warbler] and the Tufted flycatcher. We then heard and tried unsuccessfully to call out the Thicket Antpitta. I found a Red faced Spinetail high in the trees but it did not show particularly well in the light. We had repeat Common Chlorospingus, Bananaquit and Squirrel Cuckoo. Broad winged Kites, plus a few more Swallow tails flew by as did more Vultures of both sorts. </div><div> <br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>The <b>Golden eyed or Blue-sided Tree Frog</b> (Agalychnis annae)
is a very colourful amphibian with pink, lavender, orange and blue on its limbs
and sides, contrasting with its uniform green upper surface. The large eyes of
the blue-sided tree frog are yellow-orange, which gives the frog its other
common name, the golden-eyed leaf frog. As in other Agalychnis species, the
eyes of this frog have vertical pupils.<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i><span style="line-height: 107%;">The most notable characteristic of the
blue-sided tree frog, and the feature for which it is named, is the striking,
purplish-blue colouring on its flanks and thighs. </span>The
blue-sided tree frog is both nocturnal and arboreal, and like other Agalychnis
species it typically moves around by walking, although it will also leap
between branches. This species breeds during the wet season, between May
and November, with mating taking place three to ten metres above the ground. During
copulation, the female carries the male to a pond below only to return to the
trees to find a place to deposit her eggs. The eggs are usually
deposited on top of leaves up to three metres above still water. After
the eggs hatch in five to seven days, the larvae of the blue-sided tree frog
either intentionally fall into the pond below or are washed down during heavy
rainfall, and this is where they then mature and metamorphose into adult frogs.
In captivity, this has taken around 247 days. The larvae of the
blue-sided tree frog are frequently found in garden fountains and swimming
pools of Costa Rica’s upland cities, including San José and the surrounding
urban areas.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i> The frog is endemic to Costa Rica, and can be found at elevations
ranging from 780 to 1,650 metres on the slopes of the cordilleras of northern
and central Costa Rica. Today, the species remains almost exclusively
in disturbed and polluted habitat in areas around Costa Rica’s capital city of
San José.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i> The blue-sided tree frog has suffered a precipitous decline
in its population, with an estimated 50 percent or more loss in population
since the 1990s. Some factors believed to have contributed to this sharp
decline are the international pet trade, the fungal disease chytridiomycosis,
and larvae predation by an introduced fish species. The blue-sided tree frog is a popular species in
the international pet trade, along with other frogs in the genus Agalychnis. In
2007, the United States alone was reported to have imported 221,960 Agalychnis
frogs over the previous decade. </i></span><div><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>Ken Crosshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15738499734039101819noreply@blogger.com0
