Day 10 in Costa Rica and more great birds..so hot now that unable to do anything really between 11 am and 3pm. So up early most mornings. Had a howling competition with a Howler Monkey today. Not sure who won 👀 #costarica #costaricabirding #birds #birding #birdsSeenin2026 🪶

Day 9 Different scenery again today, mangrove along the coasts, just inland and it's all dry forest and scrubland..best bird of the day, Scissor-tailed flycatcher, but sadly not quick enough to get a photo.. Cracking bird though. #costarica #costaricabirding #birds #birding #birdsSeenin2026 🪶
