SW Costa Rica Trip, Feb 23, 2020, Day 10

On our last morning, we did some birding from the back patio at Hotel Buena Vista in Alajuela, Costa Rica, before returning to the San José Airport to take our flights back home.
We got out at 6AM to look for birds for a while before breakfast. There's a Tennessee Warbler in the middle of those pretty pink flowers.
