Indeed, you only live twice: your second life starts when you bird Costa Rica for the first time. And, yee-haw, this would be my second attempt at a second life: three weeks ago I was invited to bird Costa Rica! Still, it’s Costa Rica I am talking about: I’ll be back. Update: true.

During a week in Costa Rica, I used it only twice. Don’t forget all the cables, chargers, backup batteries and international electrical adapters! Normally, I’d take my standard (and lightweight) 8s, plus a scope. But, in the rainforests of e.g. Central America, a scope is – most of the time – a total waste of space and weight.

This bird is 3 inches long, lives in the darkest part of the jungle understory of Costa Rica, and never sits still! For shear beauty and color, it would be hard to ever find a more amazing group of birds that we found in Costa Rica. We spent a total of 22 days in Costa Rica, with 15 of those days spent truly birding.

Ben Lizdas commented somewhere how fascinated he is with optics: in this electronic era, the top-notch binoculars are true high-tech, yet they work without batteries. Inset: birding Costa Rica. Personally, I prefer scopes over cameras, and paper over apps, but am open to and use the products of both worlds.

In the last few years, birders in Costa Rica started noticing strange mango species in the Golfito/Puntarenas region of the country. The strange birds were identified as Veraguan Mangos and they have now officially been added to the Costa Rican national bird list. have found their way to Costa Rica.

This Yellow Warbler was looking fresh before it left Costa Rica. In Costa Rica, I’m not sure if we will get as much competitive participation as last year, but I do suspect that a lot of people will just be out there birding and submitting the results to eBird.
