FEBRUARY 18, 2017

Costa Rica is known for its quetzales, many hummingbirds, beautiful tanagers, and a host of other tropical birdies not found back at the home patch. That’s of course why most birders visit Costa Rica and rightly so. After the stop at Morales, it was onward to Canas on my quest for ducks.
