This bird was not shy. It let us come rather close. That´s why I got some decent pics even though it was rather dark. See also Diary for 110128

From my photo you can clearly see that the Green Herons colors are  a great camouflage. :)

At the center of the area of Gavilan Lodge stood those dead trees. A great place for this woodpecker. It was a pair, but I only got the male photographed.

When we arrived at the Bosque de Paz Lodge we were welcomed by these Blue-and-white Swallows cuddling together outside the door to our room. It was cold so I understand them. In the early morning they prefered to sit in the sun to get warmed up.

About Turquoise-browed Motmot on Wiki

Turquoise-browed Motmot on Youtube

The first bird in my Costa Rican birdblog with birds from the trip I made. I have no idea how many I have. But maybe 175. The group as a whole saw and heard 492 spieces in 16 days of birding. If correctly counted by the Swedish guide.

This bird looked a bit different in sunshine and shadow. The photos are mine and I link to sites that show the bird better and tell a little about it as I can´t claim to be an expert. :) I hope this will be useful to somebody apart from me.
