This will be my last entry to Costa Rican birds. Thanks to everyone who visited this blog and my work here. I managed to shot and identify 196 species during the 16 days I was birding there. And there are some shots too I could not identify. So probably I shot 200 birds. At least. The groups (14 people)  total, seen and/or heard, was 500 species.
