Perhaps you’ve had the same experience. That’s why Costa Rica is at the top of every single birder’s list of desperately desired destinations. Lucky Patrick O’Donnell lives in Costa Rica and, as a guide , gets to enjoy the epic avifauna of that exquisite country. Thanks for visiting!

They really appeared to enjoy this, because as soon as they swam back to the rocks they would line up again to repeat the experience. My first tropical birding trip was to Costa Rica when I was 8 and the Jabiru was at the top of my list even then, but sadly none were encountered. Thanks for visiting!
