I just got back from a ten day vacation in Costa Rica. The birds there are are just beautiful and some are so colorful. I'm sure my next few posts will be about the birds I saw in Costa Rica. I will start with the first birds I saw at our San Jose hotel. They were the Clay colored robin which is the national bird of Costa Rica. Crimson-fronted Parakeet, Palm Tanager, White winged dove, unknown hummingbird, Great tailed grackle, Blue-Gray Tanagers and the Rufous collared sparrow. These are all lifers for me and I need to make a list of my Costa Rica lifers.

How exciting to see so many new birds. The Rufous collared Sparrow is cute and of course I love the parrot and tanagers. White winged doves visit my backyard all summer.

What a wonderful trip--and beautiful birds! I hope you will be posting more about Costa Rica. We are hoping to make a trip there in the next year.
What a lovely vacation, Eileen. Nothing is better for me than a bird-watching holiday. Thanks for these beautiful photos of stunning birds. I look forward to more...
I love seeing all of these different species of birds. This is the second kind of Robin that I have learned about today. Thanks for sharing and Happy Holidays~
What a nice time you had surrounded by beautiful nature. All those monkeys and beautiful birds. Thanks for sharing the scenary & all the wildlife from a dream vacation. Also looking forward to more bird photos. I know they are all beautiful, but if you had a favorite or two or three....what are they. Take Care Eileen!
I was wondering where you went! Costa Rica, sweet! Hope you had a blast, I'm sure you did! I loved it there (must go back soon!). Sounds like you saw some great birds. The blue-gray tanagers are so pretty. I noticed they were a lot more blue in CR than in Trinidad and Tobago, go figure. Look forward to the next posts!
What a lovely variety of birds. Tropical places always have such beautiful birds. I look forward to seeing more of your Costa Rica trip.
What a wonderful place for you to visit! I'll enjoy seeing all your bird photos from Costa Rica. Its someplace I'd like to visit also. Happy Critter Day!

Amazing shots of the birds. Very beautiful.
wonderful shots! Did you go with a group or on your own?
Love, love, love, seeing your birds. It must have been a wonderful trip!
That sparrow looks huge compared to the ones we have. So, guess everything ISN'T bigger in Texas.
My C C is Easter Rabbits. Hope you have a glorious holiday weekend.
Nice holiday snaps, and not a cheesy grin sight. I also like your header pic.
Those are beautiful birds. I enjoy all your pictures. Looks like it was a great holiday.
Happy Easter
