Costa Rica Day 10 - Tarcoles

 

We are up to 193 species for the trip, 18 were added today, 9 of which were lifers.  Today was overcast, 91° (Real Feel 96°).  After a “walk in the woods”at Carrara National Park for 2 1/4 hours, we decided birding by car (with air conditioning) would be more comfortable.  Don’t laugh, it’s a thing, especially on country and farm roads where you can drive less than 10 mph.

Cinnamon Hummingbrd - lifer!

Rose-throated Becard female, the male is white and black
with a pink patch on his throat - lifer!

Scarlet Macaws - these are wild ones!

Striped Sparrow - lifer!

Pale-billed Woodpecker
Orange-collared Manakin - lifer!

Inca Dove

Double-striped Thick-knees - lifer!

Morrelet’s Seedeater

Groove-billed Ani

We saw lots of crocodiles in the river today.

There are plain leaf cutter ants and there are 
fancy leafcutter ants that prefer flowers 😅🍃🌺🐜

I spy with my little eye, a moth on a log.
