2023 Costa Rica Trip, Day 2

We arrived a day early to insure we were in time for the flight to Osa Peninsula on Wednesday, so we had a free day on Tuesday and birded the grounds of Hotel Bougainvillea.
Rufous-tailed Hummingbird Trip Day 2 (Tue, 3/28): We had arrived a day early to insure making our connecting flight to the Osa Peninsula, so we had a full day to bird the grounds of the hotel on our own before starting the guided part of our trip.
