Whew. With a total of 181 species for this trip, 89 of them life birds which I tried
to italicize, then I'm worn out just from adding the new birds to my data base. It's a big trip
for the small amount of time (1 week) and reasonable price -- putting my Costa Rica life list at 210 birds,
just one species short of my Louisiana list, and my worldwide life list at 1,308 species. Wheee! Stay tuned
for a full trip report soon. Executive Summary: We hit the Savagre River area and the Cerro de la Muerte for
the Pacific slope birds and then the Rancho Naturalista "Home of the Snowcap" for the Caribbean slope.
Results -- a lot of species in a little bit of time, including the famous Resplendent Quetzal and the
Snowcap.
the good-looking and ever-popular resplendent quetzal and modest too! joined the life list
at an avocado tree behind a small house with poodle in savagre, where the existence of two females to
four males produced the displays and disputes to best show off the thrilling streamer tails
