Did
you know that there are more bird species in Costa Rica
than in the entire United States and Canada combined?
|
 |
|
It has been frequently said that Costa Rica is "nature's
treasure chest of birds'', this surely is no exaggeration
but it is the pursuit of the more elusive birdwatcher's dream,
like the Great Tinamou, Rufous Mot-mot, Slaty-backed Forest
Falcon, Coppery-headed Emerald, Mangrove Hummingbird, Ocellated
Ant-bird and even the Resplendent Quetzal - a bird endemic
to Central America, considered sacred by the ancient Mayan
civilization - which with patience and good fortune, can turn
a birding trip to Costa Rica into an experience of a lifetime. |
 |
Costa Rica is home to over 850
bird species … all within a country the size of Wales!
|
|
The
potential that this country has for bird-watching and wildlife
observation is simply enormous, being described by many
Ornithologists as matchless anywhere else on earth given
the diversity of species vs. the density of wildlife per
square kilometre.
