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.

At 6 o´clock in the morning we were up looking for them. The lodge had a feedingplace and a lamp too. At this early hour it was much needed. This is a male.

This was a bird that was not easy to spot even if they were right in front of you. They had to be moving for you to really notice them.  :)

It was rather dark in the forest so hard to get a clear shot. There was a little hillock so I could get a better shot from the back. I wanted it to turn around, but of course it didn´t. :)
