This foot-shaped piece of land in southern Costa Rica is just about as far from San Jose as you can go without leaving the country. Lots of monkeys there too. In Costa Rica, one of the best “end of the road” places for birding and getting crazy with biodiversity is the Osa Peninsula.

The bird foraged on fruit in the upper understory, moving the vegetation almost as much as a monkey does. The Ornate Hawk-Eagle was noticed at the last minute on our drive towards San Jose through the dense rainforests of Braulio Carrillo National Park. In a year of megas, this was one of the top birds for sure.
