On my way over the plane showed a movie called "the Big Year". It was pretty entertaining and got me ramped up for some more bird watching while here in Costa Rica. I was transporting a new pair of binoculars for Jungle Man so knew I'd get to use his extra pair if needed. If you ever come to Costa Rica bring your own binoculars! There are an amazing amount of birds here! 850+ different species according to the interwebs.
The other morning we were out the door by 5:45 for some birding! We had gone out the night before as well. Gone out birding that is.

My camera isn't good enough to take photos of birds too far away especially small ones. But here are a couple of birds I can count on seeing everyday as I walk around town! And hear them while I'm trying to sleep. The smaller green parrots start their flying around squawking at about 4:30 every day. Which really isn't as bad as it sounds. It's much better than the crows at home and nicer than the barking dogs that wake me up off and on all night!
