You’ll probably hear them first, like so many others of their family, they aren’t shy about making some noise. Arrive at the airport near San Jose in the day and you could easily see them fly overhead. In a nutshell, that’s a lot of Costa Rica, that’s a lot of Crimson-fronted Parakeets.

I sample birding on Poas more often than at other sites in Costa Rica because it’s close to home and makes for a worthwhile guided day trip from the San Jose area. Lot of wrens and thrushes : Quite a few members of these families also chatter and sing from thickets and forest. This Red-faced Spinetail was one of them.

Although a lot of beautiful rainforest was replaced by bananas, cattle pasture, and other ag-lands many years ago, at least we can still enjoy great birding at a number of sites, most of which are easily accessible including Sarapiqui, the most visited site in the lowlands north of San Jose.

This is a protected area that includes the Los Cusingos Bird refuge, where we were guided by Andres Chinchilla, a young man who as a child ran around the farm where his family worked, and was to become this incredible bird refuge. His years of experience in this area were quite obvious as we found 62 species in one morning.

If the families are the same, that might not be too much of a problem. Some other insider questions to think about before birding in Costa Rica include things like, “How can I avoid traffic in San Jose?”, If they are different, though, it’s a whole new tropical ball game.
