We arrived for a two trip to Costa Rica yesterday. Today's highlights are too many to mention but we did manage to find the stunning Turquoise-browed Motmot (incidentally the national bird of Nicaragua). We also saw some stunning Tropical Kingbirds, various orioles and hummingbirds. I don't think there is time to find all 59 of the latter in this hot country. Anyway, here's a couple pics from today.
