A beautiful collection of Costa Rican birds. It was helpful to use your photos to learn to identify some of these birds.

Wonderful collection, well done!

Beautiful collection of Costa Rica. We visit the country in March 2017 and hope to see some of these birds.

Thank you for your page! I just returned from a trip from CR, and I am a very beginning birder, along with no other birders. Our guide named everything, but I didn't write down all of them, and didn't remember all of the ones I had captured. Your excellent photos helped me to identify quite a few of the birds in my photos! Now I have to go back with birders who can tolerate a beginner!

March 17/2016 - great collection of bird photos from Costa Rica.

Impressive collection. I saw what looked like a hawk with red on its wings in Samara, but I don't see in it your list so I could be mistaken. The pelicans and sandpipers are easier. Thanks, Glenda

Great documentation for Costa Rican birds. I am heading there for 14 days on Feb 2. Your images have made excited to see so many different birds. Bruce Benson

Super collection. I've started, but not as good as yours for Costa Rica. Thanks!

Great collection! I have a lot but you have more! Excellent! I have a shot of a ground feeder made in the Talamanca Mountains, Quetzal National Park, that I can't find here.Gray with Brown trim and sash across chest I can't identify even here.

Fantastic Collection - I have used to to help identify some rather inferior images of my own.
