The Birds I found in Costa Rica!

- Costa Rica is internationally known as vacation paradise and this is absolutely true! Even more for a birder and nature enthusiastic. The official list of Costa Rica's avifauna has staggering 903 species! This is almost a miracle for such a small country. The fact is that Costa Rica and Central America work as a bridge between two major land masses, North and South America. Millions of birds of at least 200 species do migrate twice a year. Birds mostly from North and South America but some go as far as New Zeland!
Geological and geographical features of this tiny country helps the diversification of flora and fauna even more. A beautiful chain of mountains form cordilleras that divide the country mostly in two, E and W. So animals and plants from each side of the mountain had different evolutionary forces. So the great diversity of habitats makes a perfect scenario for an explosion of life forms.
If you are new to birdwatching and nature photography I strongly recommend good binoculars and good cameras. There are many binoculars of bad quality that can ruin your eyesight over time.
It is true that some binoculars are very expensive. But as a beginner you don't need them, you can have a much cheaper one that will definitely blow your mind as soon as you get your first cool bird in front of you!
Here I recommend one 8x42 and another one 10x42 (magnification x front lens size). Both are Bushnell a very traditional brand:
amzn.to/2OxbY7v
amzn.to/38zxHm0
If you are an experienced birder I recommend an awesome Zeiss Terra that will blow you mind:
amzn.to/2Q1Q5Of
For Wildlife Photography the best camera in my opinion is the Super Zoom Nikon P900 and P1000:
amzn.to/38BpNIR
amzn.to/3ttRwDF
If you are planning to come to Costa Rica I recommend 2 very good field guides.
The Birds of Costa Rica: A Field Guide: amzn.to/3cvhqjg
A Guide to the Birds of Costa Rica: amzn.to/3tkgV2a
Birds of Central America: Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama: amzn.to/3rOYt1E

Nice video René with some birds I missed in Costa Rica like the Lanceolated Monklet and the Three-wattled Bellbird!

Hermosas aves de Costa Rica 🇨🇷 😚
Saludos amigaaaa!
Beautiful bird🤩
Indeed my friend!
Well done! My favorite is Lanceolated Monklet, which is a most-wanted bird. Great views of Three-wattled Bellbird are also right up there at the top of my list.
Tks Mary Ann! Yes the Monklet is a prize. What an unpredictable bird I'd say... I've never seen it here in Brazil. The Bellbird was a super lifer no doubt. I was so glad that I brought my tripod that day! :)
Fantastic. I had not even heard of a Barbthroat before.
Cool name isn't it?
Beautiful birds love birds
tks a lot!!!
Maravilha dê gravações. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Obrigado Ricardo!
Fantastic video. I like the click and still pic. Very artistic. I hope to return to Costa Rica and see the Three-wattles bell bird someday.
I am glad you liked! Tks for your feedback! Do you have any suggestions? Have you been in Brazil?
If your going to Costa Rica to see the three watt led bellbird I recommend going to MonteVerde. In from may to June after COVID obviously,because from may to June it’s their breeding season and they go to monte verde.
So you have a much higher chance of seeing them.
@@mauthemau6260 yes! Pura vida mae!
@@CalypturaExpeditions Si pura vida mae! And also it was March to June I got confused.
parabéns muito lindos
Obrigado!
Sensacional!
Gracias!!!!
YESHUA as their LORD AND SAVIOR.
God bless you 86. Praise the Lord. God bless you
ADOREI
Beautifully done! Thank you for sharing! I will show this to my classes as we are studying birds of Costa Rica and I like yours better than professional ones because it's short enough to hold interest but long enough to get a real understanding of the birds there. I also appreciate you naming the birds as other videos did not which was a big disappointment of mine!
I feel the same when the birds name is not mentioned or shown! Tks a lot! I'm glad you liked!
Great video. The Bellbird and monk let are both gorgeous
I'm glad you liked!
Muito bom!!! 👏👏👏👏👏
Obrigado Felipe!
I'm curious about the role of feathers that look like whiskers.
Is it only for males?🙂
yes only in males! ;)
0:55 , where is it?
Tapanti National Park!
What would be the best time of year to visit?
Best time is February and March... Do you need a birding guide? #keepbirding
