With 12 Clients

Day 1 Saturday 7th February

After a long day flying via Houston we arrived in San Jose in the late evening and transferred to our comfortable

hotel for some welcome sleep.

Day 2 Sunday 8th February

We started the day at first light with an hour-or-so in the hotel’s garden where we had a quick-fire introduction

to an exciting array of common Costa Rican birds. These included Crimson-fronted Parakeets, Red-billed

Pigeons, Hoffman’s Woodpeckers, Baltimore Orioles, Brown Jays, Rufous-naped Wrens and a couple of

impressive White-tailed Kites.

After breakfast we boarded our bus and began the drive southwards towards the Talamanca Cordillera and

Savegre, our venue for the next couple of days. We made a stop for coffee after a couple of hours and, from the

café’s terrace, enjoyed close up views of Magnificent, Scintillant and Volcano Hummingbirds, White-throated

Mountaingems, a Yellow-thighed Finch, a pair of Flame-coloured Tanagers, three Acorn Woodpeckers and a

Red-tailed Hawk. Towards the end of the journey, as we descended into Savegre Valley itself, we made an

impromptu roadside stop to admire the wonderful scenery and fortuitously found a male Quetzal perched up in

a distant tree plus several Long-tailed Silky-flycatchers and a pair of vocal Rufous-browed Peppershrikes.

We arrived at Savegre in good time for lunch and, after a little time to settle in, we set off to explore our new

surroundings. We saw many of the species we had encountered earlier in the day, but new hummers at the

feeders around the reception area included Stripe-tailed Hummingbird and Green Violetear and, in the gardens,

we also found a pair of Emerald Toucanets excavating a nest hole, a trio of Spotted Wood Quails and a Black

Guan – not bad for starters!

Day 3 Monday 9th February

Out at dawn, we began the day around the gardens again with good views of Grey-breasted Wood Wren, Tufted

Flycatcher, Ruddy-capped Nightingale-Thrush, Collared Whitestart, Sooty Flowerpiercer and Flame-coloured

Tanager. After breakfast we got into the bus and, after an exciting roadside stop for a magnificent male Quetzal

perched at eye-level just yards from the road, we drove up to the Paraiso del Quetzal, at the top of the ridge.

Here we explored some really glorious forest and found a range of the local high altitude specialities including

several Black-and-yellow Silky-flycatchers, a Yellow-winged Vireo, at least three Black-billed Nightingale-

Thrushes, two Black-cheeked Warblers, a few Yellow-thighed and Large-footed Finches and a number of

dazzling Fiery-throated Hummingbirds.

We returned to Savegre for lunch and then, with Swallow-tailed Kites and a Red-tailed Hawk sailing over the

forested ridge above and Sulphur-winged Parakeets zapping in and out of the trees around the lodge, we set off

up to the high oak woods for a walk. Sadly, heavy rain set in and we had to abandon the idea and, instead, spent

the afternoon sheltering from the deluge at a rustic café a little up the valley, where the feeders attracted a few

birds and allowed us some excellent views of Volcano Hummingbird, Spot-crowned Woodcreeper, Mountain

Elaenia and Sooty-capped Bush Tanager.

Day 4 Tuesday10th February

We left Savegre after breakfast and began the journey through the mountains and down to the Pacific coast. Our

first stop was in an area of high altitude paramo where we admired the panoramic views, gasped a little with

11,000 feet plus breathlessness, and enjoyed close encounters with Volcano Hummingbirds, Volcano Juncos,

Sooty Flowerpiercers, a superb Flame-throated Warbler and a neat little Spiny Lizard. Continuing onwards

through the mountains, we made a late-morning coffee stop just short of San Isidro and, from the balcony,

noted a Red-crowned Woodpecker, Cherrie’s and Silver-cheeked Tanagers, Chestnut-capped and White-naped

Brush Finches, a Scarlet-thighed Dacnis and a surprise Grey-necked Wood Rail.

We reached the coast road just north of Dominical shortly after noon and then made fast progress north towards

Tarcoles. Flat, open country now, with Cattle Egrets in the fields, Turkey Vultures in the sky, occasional

Roadside Hawks on posts watching the traffic go by and Greater Kiskadees, Tropical Kingbirds and Grey-

breasted Martins on the roadside wires. We passed through extensive oil palm plantations, ate a restaurant lunch

in Quipos, passed Jaco town and made it to Vila Lapas in the mid-afternoon. After settling in, we took an

exploratory stroll around the grounds and finished the day with Scarlet Macaws, Black-mandibled Toucans, Buff-

rumped Warblers, Painted Buntings, Common Basilisks, Spiny-tailed Iguanas and a sleeping Two-toed Sloth.

Day 5 Wednesday 11th February

A brief early morning session in the gardens at Vila Lapas produced a male Pale-billed Woodpecker and a pair of

Rose-throated Becards before, with breakfast completed, we drove the short distance to the Carrera National

Park and made an early start on the trails. Very soon after we set out, we met an Army Ant swarm and enjoyed

some fabulous views of the attendant birds which included two Chestnut-backed Antbirds, a Bi-coloured

Antbird, a Black-faced Ant-thrush and a Barred Woodcreeper. These are all good species to see at any time and

they were all so preoccupied with the ant activity that they completely ignored us and pottered around at arm’s

reach – lovely! As we watched, the ants flushed a sizeable scorpion and then a formidable Wolf Spider; clear

testament to the effectiveness of the ants as a predatory force and to the reason why all these various birds

follow them.

Continuing along the trail we found some Orange-collared Manakins, a Violaceous Trogon, a Blue-throated

Goldentail (with a nest complete with two tiny white eggs!), a diminutive Golden-crowned Spadebill, a couple of

Agoutis and a range of reptiles including Anoles, Amoevas and the inevitable Iguanas and Basilisks. We finished

the morning with the lovely sight of a Scarlet Macaw at its oil-drum nest site, in a tall tree near the entrance to

Vila Lapas.

We were back out in the national park again in the mid-afternoon, this time walking a trail through some primary

forest. The first excitement was a large lime green snake with fine black markings which was moving stealthily

through the undergrowth close to the path. Fully two metres long, this impressive creature climbed up into one

of the trees with the utmost ease. It was a bird hunter known as Spelotes pullata and an excellent find!



As we continued we encountered a Cocoa Woodcreeper, a rather elusive Ovenbird, some more Chestnut-backed

Antbirds, a striking Orange-billed Sparrow and, late on, Red-capped and Blue-crowned Manakins, Buff-throated

Foliage-gleaner and Ochre-bellied Flycatcher coming in to bathe at a small stream. A Great Tinamou and a

Streak-chested Antpitta, calling unseen from the shadows of the forest, added to the atmosphere and, as we

emerged from the forest into the car park, we concluded an enjoyable day with the sight of two Bat Falcons

perched in the crown of a tall tree.

Day 6 Thursday 12th February

Some of us were out at dawn again at Vila Lapas and, in a short space of time, we saw a very satisfying range of

birds that included Band-tailed Barbthroat, Scaly-breasted Hummingbird, Grey-chested Dove, Riverside Wren,

Slaty Antwren, Common Tody-Flycatcher and Grey-headed Tanager.

After breakfast we set out on a boat trip along the Tarcoles River and had a wonderful couple of hours during

which we saw an excellent selection of herons, egrets, waders and associated species, plus Purple Gallinule,

Ringed and Green Kingfishers, Osprey, Mangrove Black Hawk and Zone-tailed Hawk. There were lots of

Crocodiles too, ranging in size from small to menacingly large, whilst a Bare-throated Tiger Heron, sunning itself

with wings outstretched and head held skywards like a Bittern, presented an extraordinary spectacle. Exploring a

narrow mangrove-fringed creek, we came across a rather out of place White-faced Capuchin and a distant

soaring Black Hawk-Eagle, and had lovely views of a Pygmy Kingfisher, a Mangrove Cuckoo, Prothonotary and

Mangrove Warblers and two Panama Flycatchers.

From Tarcoles, we headed north along the coast and made it to Ensenada by 1pm. We went straight into lunch,

and were entertained by the resident White-throated Magpie-Jays that were hanging around the restaurant area,

waiting for a chance to grab unattended scraps from the tables. After a brief siesta, we set out to explore. Some

Stripe-headed Sparrows and a pair of roosting Pacific Screech Owls got things off to a good start and, down by

the Salinas, we spent some time watching a troop of Mantled Howler Monkeys loafing their way through the

heat of the afternoon in a large tree by the track. The group included some adventurous youngsters and a couple

of babes in arms, so there was lots to engage our attention.

It was low tide, so the Salinas themselves were fairly quiet (most of the waders were out on the exposed mudflats

of the nearby Gulf) but a walk through some scrubland to a small muddy a lagoon proved productive enough,

with good views of a range of wetland species such as Wood Storks, Roseate Spoonbills, White Ibis and Little

Blue Herons and some small birds including Scrub Flycatcher, Scrub Euphonia and American Redstart.

Day 7 Friday 13th February

We were out at dawn again: a beautiful, still, sunny morning. We started with a Lineated Woodpecker, Black-

headed and Violaceous Trogons and a trio of Spot-breasted Orioles in the car park area and then, strolling down

a track through pasture, scrub and copses, we continued this very enjoyable start to the day with White-fronted

Parrots, Orange-fronted Parakeets, a Cinnamon Hummingbird, a couple of Turquoise-browed Motmots, two

Streak-backed Orioles and two pairs of White-lored Gnatcatchers.

After breakfast we strolled down to the jetty on the shore and boarded the lodge’s boat for a trip out across the

gulf to the mangroves. This gave us wonderful close up views of a range of roosting waders including Whimbrel,

Willets, Grey Plovers, Short-billed Dowitchers and Marbled Godwits plus Brown Pelicans, Magnificent

Frigatebirds, Ospreys and Royal Terns – lovely! Prothonotary and Mangrove Warblers added a little spice whilst

a Hook-billed Kite soaring high overhead was a definite bonus. Back at the dock, at the end of the morning, we

found a large flock of Semi-palmated and Western Sandpipers roosting on the shore, and a number of

impressive Stingrays gliding around in the shallow, clear water.

In the afternoon, we drove across country to the celebrated Hacienda Solimar. We started in an impressive area

of dry forest, where we enjoyed superb close-up views of a roosting Spectacled Owl. From here, we proceeded

out into an area of the extensive wetlands for which the ranch is famous, and found masses of birds. Highlights

included two Jabirus, dozens of Bare-throated Tiger Herons, hundreds of Northern Jacanas and Blue-winged

Teals, thousands of Black-bellied Whistling Ducks, 14 Muscovy Ducks and two Limpkins. Raptors were well

represented too, with White-tailed Kite, Peregrine Falcon, Harris Hawk, Crested and Yellow-headed Caracaras

and at least 15 Snail Kites, whilst mammals included some more Mantled Howlers and a number of White-nosed

Coatis. We concluded this excellent afternoon with a couple of roosting Lesser Nighthawks, and a flock of 25

Yellow-naped Parrots coming into trees back by the ranch itself.

Day 8 Saturday 14th February

Another early morning walk around the lodge and along the track produced many of yesterday morning’s birds

plus several Montezuma’s Oropendolas carrying nest material, our first Masked Tityra and a superb little

Ferruginous Pygmy Owl that glared at us from its perch, high in a Guanacaste tree. The sky was full of

hirundines and swifts, perhaps due to bad weather up in the mountains inland. The former were dominated by

Barn Swallows but included good numbers of Cliff Swallows, whilst the latter comprised mostly Vaux’s and

Chestnut-collared Swifts, as far as we could see, but with several White-collared mixed in.

We left Ensenada Lodge after a leisurely breakfast and made a brief stop at the Salinas again, where we saw a

nice range of waders, including several Wilson’s Plovers and a large flock of over 500 Western and Semi-

palmated Sandpipers which executed some lovely aerial manoeuvres, especially when a Peregrine flashed through

and had a go at them. Four Mangrove Black Hawks in the air together were an impressive sight, and a Laughing

Falcon in a trackside tree was another good find. Pretty soon we were out on the main road and heading up into

the mountains through a picturesque patchwork of forest, scrub, pasture and small, neat, farmsteads. We made

stops for the views, noted a Broad-winged Hawk and some Yellow-faced Grassquits along the way, and made it

to Santa Elena in time for lunch.

After a little time to settle into our hotel, we drove the short distance up to the so-called Hummingbird Gallery

by the entrance to Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve. Here we sat in comfort, only feet away from a range of

feeders that were positively buzzing with hummingbirds. Green-crowned Brilliants, Green Violetears and Purple-

throated Mountaingems were the most numerous species, but there were also good numbers of the large and

physically dominant Violet Sabrewings, plus a scattering of Stripe-tailed Hummingbirds, diminutive Copper-

headed Emeralds, a Costa Rican endemic, and at least one superb male Magenta-throated Woodstar that wowed

everyone as it zapped around flashing its dazzling iridescent throat patch. Bananaquits and Common Bush

Tanagers added to the interest but a superb Olingo that descended from the trees above and proceeded to empty

one nectar feeder after another was a bonus indeed! To have this animal in close view for so long and to have the



chance to really appreciate its character and to watch as it made its way so gracefully through the branches and

foliage was a rare treat indeed!

Day 9 Sunday 15th February

After an early breakfast, we headed up to Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve and set out on the trails. It was cool,

overcast and drizzly at first, but the weather improved as the morning progressed and we had a good

opportunity to appreciate this wonderful forest. Bird-wise we had a good morning of it, with highlights including

Black Guan, Azure-hooded Jay, Spotted Woodcreeper, Red-faced Spinetail, Ochraceous Wren, Black-faced

Solitaire, Scale-crested Pygmy Tyrant, Slate-throated Whitestart and Three-striped Warbler. Late on, back near

the entrance, we hit an Army Ant swarm that was attracting lots of birds. Here we had amazing prolonged views

of at least four Slaty-backed Nightingale-Thrushes, a Spotted Barbtail, a Lineated Foliage-gleaner, a Blue-

crowned Motmot and, best of all, a superb Barred Forest Falcon that sat on open perches in the understorey,

just a few metres away from us. This is something of a “Holy Grail” bird so we watched entranced as it

periodically dropped down to the forest floor to pick up hapless invertebrates flushed by the ants – wow!

Lunch and a brief break followed and then we returned for another session in the forest. It was inevitably quieter

than the morning but we enjoyed some serious quality with good views of two male Quetzals, a close Agouti

peeling and eating a large seed and, at the waterfall, two Green Lancebills which, as we watched, actually sparred

in mid-air with those amazing great long bills of theirs.

Day 10 Monday 16th February

With breakfast completed, we set of across the mountains to Tillarin and so to Nuevo Arenal where we stopped

for mid-morning coffee. It was a cool, wet morning and the Crested Guans and Grey-headed Chachalacas in

some trees across the road from the café looked decidedly bedraggled. A little further on, we saw a Grey Hawk

and then a Broad-billed Motmot that obligingly sat tight on some roadside wires. At Arenal Dam, we braved the

now heavy rain for a while, to observe a roosting Great Potoo – quite a beast! Then, in a welcome break in the

rain, we strolled along the old Tabacon Road and found Chestnut-mandibled Toucans, Red-lored Parrots, a

White-throated Thrush, White-shouldered Tanagers, another Broad-billed Motmot and a lovely male White-

collared Manakin.

We ate lunch in a restaurant on the edge of La Fortuna. In the gardens here, between courses as it were, we had

some great views of Orange-chinned Parakeets, Squirrel Cuckoo, Amazon Kingfisher, Black-cheeked

Woodpecker and Black-headed Saltator. Continuing on, we finally reached our hotel on the far side of Arenal

Volcano towards the end of the afternoon and, after settling in, we strolled around and finished the afternoon

with sightings of Barred Antshrike, Thick-billed Seed Finch, Common Tody-Flycatcher, Golden-winged and

Black-and-white Warblers and the briefest of views of Olivaceous Piculets.

Day 11 Tuesday 17th February

We awoke to a sunny dawn, clear views of the conical summit of Arenal Volcano and a range of early morning

birds that included the hoped-for Olivaceous Piculet, plus Lineated, Smoky-brown, Rufous-winged and Black-

cheeked Woodpeckers, Red-lored and White-crowned Parrots, Barred Antshrike, Tropical Pewee, Black-cowled

Oriole and Green Honeycreeper.

We departed soon after breakfast and continued our journey down onto the Caribbean slope. We made a

supermarket stop in Aguas Zarcas town, where we found a Two-toed Sloth in some trees along a water course at

the edge of the supermarket car park and, in Puerto Viejo, we noted a huge passage of Turkey Vultures passing

northwards high overhead. We counted over 1100 in less than five minutes!

We arrived at Sueno Azul at lunchtime and, after a short break to settle in and some time to admire the Howler

Monkeys in the car park trees and the Long-nosed Bats roosting under the roof of one of the walkways, we set

off to explore. We crossed the river bridge and strolled down the entrance track and found an excellent range of

birds, headlined by a male Snowy Cotinga, two Green Ibis and a fabulous perched Grey-headed Kite. The wide

supporting cast included Mealy Parrot, Slaty-tailed Trogon, Streak-headed Woodcreeper, Bright-rumped Atilla,

Bay Wren, Scarlet-thighed Dacnis and Black-faced Grosbeak.

Day 12 Wednesday 18th February

After an early breakfast at Sueno Azul and good views of a White-whiskered Puffbird and a Bright-rumped Atilla

by the river bridge on the way out, we drove the short distance to the La Selva reserve. Here we spent the

morning walking the trails and enjoyed a range of exciting sightings and a very interesting introduction to this

fabulous forest. Bird highlights included Brown-headed Parrot, Rufous Motmot, Collared Aracari, Black-

throated Trogon, Rufous-tailed Jacamar, White-collared Manakin, Stripe-breasted Wren and a superb male Great

Curassow. Raptors were well represented too with a pair of Collared Forest Falcons, a Double-toothed Kite and

lovely views of a Semiplumbeous Hawk. We also saw Strawberry Poison Dart Frogs, Central American Whiptail

Lizards, Green Iguanas, Black River Turtles, Collared Peccaries and an Agouti.

After lunch and a short siesta back at Sueno Azul, we returned to La Selva and finished the day in grand style

with a further range of quality encounters, including a Sunbittern creeping along the edge of a small stream, four

Crested Guans, several colourful Keel-billed Toucans, a male Pale-billed Woodpecker busy hammering away at a

dead branch, and a roosting Vermiculated Screech Owl. Two Spider Monkeys making their way through the

canopy were the icing on the cake, and it was wonderful to watch them as they moved through the trees with

such ease and skill, making full use of their amazing prehensile tails.

Day 13 Thursday 19th February

After another early breakfast, interrupted by lovely views of a singing male Blue-black Grosbeak and a Pygmy

Kingfisher, we boarded the bus and headed out of Sueno Azul. A little over an hour later, we arrived at the mid-

altitude valley of La Virgen de Socorro. It was a beautiful sunny morning with a light breeze, and raptors turned

out to be the order of the day. During our pleasant stroll along the track through this beautiful forested valley,

we saw White, Barred, Broad-winged and Short-tailed Hawks, a distant Double-toothed Kite, and seven superb

Swallow-tailed Kites that soared gracefully around over the canopy catching insects. Small birds included a neat

Yellowish Flycatcher and a couple of Dazzling Crimson-collared Tanagers. Colourful butterflies flitted all around

us and, in the dense vegetation down by the river, we found a lovely Green Tree Anole and a Green Parrot

Snake.



We finished the morning at a rustic café at Cinchona, a little further up the road. Here, over coffee and

empanadas, we savoured close up views of Silver-throated Tanagers and a range of hummers including a couple

of the endemic Coppery-headed Emeralds and a smart male White-breasted Mountaingem. Not a bad morning

really!

After lunch and a short siesta back at Sueno Azul, we explored along the entrance track again and had an

excellent last birding session. In an action-packed couple of hours, we enjoyed wonderfully close views of a

Laughing Falcon with a Speckled Racer Snake that it had just caught, 11 fly-over Great Green Macaws, a couple

of Long-tailed Tyrants, a Rufous-winged Woodpecker, some Plain-coloured Tanagers, a White-ringed Flycatcher

and close up views of Black-cheeked Woodpeckers excavating a nest hole.

Day 14 Friday 20th February

With breakfast completed and a last few birds seen, we boarded the bus for the drive back through the

mountains to the Central Valley and San Jose. We broke the journey for coffee and arrived at San Jose airport in

good time. The check-in went smoothly, our early afternoon flight was on time, and soon we were all UK

bound, with our heads full of images and memories of our Costa Rican adventure.

Day 15 Saturday 21st February

Return to the UK
