As many of you probably know, I just got back from a trip to Costa Rica. The focus of this trip was 100% birding. This episode will have a different structure than most others. Instead of talking about one single bird species, this episode will have three main parts. First, I will talk about my stay at one of the most world-renowned birding lodges in all of Costa Rica, if not the world, Rancho Naturalista. Then, I will go over some of the other animals we encountered, and over the habitat and climate of Costa Rica. And then, finally, I will talk about three of my favorite birds from the trip.
