Costa Rica ~ We Will Return


Our time in Costa Rica has been beyond-words-wonderful.  We spent three weeks swimming in the ocean, hiking through the cloud forests and jungle, and boating up rivers all in an attempt to see the birds and animals. 




Bird watching in Costa Rica is the equivalent of swimming with Maui’s colorful tropical fish. Some people have the gift of spotting a bird perched in a tree while other people, like Patti can find a bird by hearing its song.


Then there are other people, like me who excel at finding the birds at bird feeders.





The Macaws were one of my favorite birds. Not only did they announce their presence with loud squawks but they are entertaining to watch and not at all camera shy.  Perhaps it’s time to join the Audubon Society but we have to learn Spanish first.



One Project at a time… next stop Columbia.

  1. Wonderful bird and monkey photos. Nice zoom you have there. But why wasn't the video commentary in Spanish?
