Now matter where you live, it doesn’t take long to discover that several beautiful birds live in a nearby nature reserve, and quite a few actually visit the feeder and trees right in your own backyard. All it takes is the time to look for and watch birds with a pair of binoculars and you start to realize that there are a lot more beautiful birds out there than you expected to see.

It’s the same case for Costa Rica except that you end up seeing dozens more beautiful and exotic birds just about everywhere you look. While the dense lowland rainforests host the highest number of bird species in Costa Rica, you might be surprised at the number of birds that also make their home in hotel gardens, dry forest, and other places.

Species vary by region but in the Central Valley and San Jose area, take a morning walk in a hotel garden and you have a pretty good chance of finding such wintering species as Baltimore Orioles, Yellow Warblers, and Tennessee Warblers, and colorful residents like the Blue-gray Tanager, spectacular Blue-crowned Motmot, Grayish Saltator, plenty of Rufous-tailed Hummingbirds, and the handsome Red-billed Pigeon.



Do the same walk in Guanacaste and you might see beautiful Streak-backed Orioles, the fancy Turquoise-browed Motmot, and the spiffy little White-lored Gnatcatcher.


In areas with humid rainforest, you might even get toucans near the hotel along with stunning species like the Gartered Trogon, Golden-hooded Tanager, and White-necked Jacobin.


High elevations will treat you to a different set of species including Wilson’s and Black-throated Green Warblers, the gaudy Flame-colored Tanager, and Green Violetear among other hummingbird species.


In Costa Rica, there are colorful birds everywhere you look. Enhance your trip to Costa Rica by watching them and use the Costa Rica Birds field guide app to identify them, listen to their songs, and keep notes on the birds you see.
