Sorry for the blatant plugging, but it just seems appropriate.

You should try visiting
http://www.bobbyrica.com
for anything costa rica. One of our friends of the business owns it.

The birds in CR and Panama are an ornithologist's dream!

As a bird watcher, it makes me want to go there just to see them myself.
Amazing birds.

great pics, in fact ornithology is my hobby!No kiddin... I'm just a backyard birdwatcher myself.
But when I travel, I tend to take notice of the bird life since it often differs with what I'm used to at home.

Chris you have an open invite anytime...
I wake up in the morning to parrots...and every day about 8am I get two beautiful (and giant) macaws flying over...

seeing a Tucan in real life is something else...

I would love to see colorful tropical birds in their natural habitat. That would be so cool.

This year I'm getting a hummingbird in my backyard at the feeder, which is fairly uncommon. I've seen it only a few times, and I'm never quick enough to get a picture, but if I do you'll probably hear about it in no time. ;)
