Notes on Specific Birds
Our trip here was an overnight and a morning
boat trip
during the month of July. The boat trip is worth it, and you can get
it pretty much anywhere around the lake I think. Small boats were all over the lake
waiting for passengers when we were there.
The boat trip is about the only place
for Nicaraguan Grackle, observed in the wet grasses on the boat
trip. The area is also the best place in Costa Rica for
Black-collared Hawk (seen easily from the boat in my case), and a very good
place to find Green Ibis.
This is also a good place for getting
good looks at birds like Bare-throated Tiger-Heron, Northern Jacana,
Snail Kite, and Great Black Hawk. Since I was there, Jabiru have
started nesting there - which may be the best reason to go if you're
not visiting Palo Verde National Park.

Throughout Costa Rica
All birds here can be included in any list at most locations conditional
to the appropriate habitat
This list includes birds seen commonly throughout
my trips to Costa Rica. These birds were either quite common or easily seen in the appropriate habitat and season.
Admittedly, as a U.S. birder, I became a slacker when it came to listing the
more common North American migrants.
In the case of shorebirds, your best bet is the Tarcoles River mouth near Carara or near the city of Puntarenas. Mudflats
are near the highway.
