COSTA RICA - Birding
Although Costa Rica is a small country, it is in the bird-rich neotropical region and has a huge number of species for its area. Around 900 bird species have been recorded in the country.
Birds are fairly easy to observe, but much more difficult to photograph without a specialized photographic equipment.
