Costa Rica - Tilajari




We travelled to the Arenal volcano/hotsprings area and on to the Tilajari Resort. We enjoyed the hot springs of the Ecotermales Fortuna Hidalgo and birded along the San Carlos River where the resort is located. The dining area turned out to be a real hot spot for birds visiting the feeders and consumed a fair amount of our time as we photographed and tried to id the many species which appeared. Also had some great views of the howler monkeys in route to the resort. We raft our way down the enas Blancas River in search of iguanas, monkeys, birds and whatever other wildlife comes our way. Between the sightings along the river and the sightings at the Tilajari Resort, we amass a nice day list of about 25 species many of which are new life birds.
