Absolutely my favorite shot from the whole outing. My son alerted me to the fact that there was a bird outside our condo. The bird hopped around for a few minutes while I snapped some relatively close up pics, including this one.

"Boasting some 900 bird species, Costa Rica is home to more avian species than the United States and Canada combined. In fact, the country’s bird populations account for more than 10% of the world’s total bird species. Of these, more than 630 are permanent residents, while others are migratory visitors that live here only part of the year." (http://www.costarica.com/costa-rica-wildlife/birds/)

These are photos of Tiger Herons, Great Blue Heron, Egrets, Carpintero, Trogon violaceus, Osprey in flight, Trogone (with red belly), Cara Cara Eagle (on a stump), Kingfisher, Toucans, etc.; I do not know all of them, especially the small, colorful ones.
