And of course as on all bird walks, we saw many more than I photographed. Some are too small or too far away or I try and don’t get a usable photo. The last 2 photos were actually shot on  my first afternoon here while exploring, but we did see both of them on the morning bird walk. The three new birds for me are the Silver-throated Tanager, Bay-breasted Warbler and Broad-winged Hawk. Plus the photo of the Orange-bellied Trogon female is my new best photo of that species. Every trip has its rewards even beyond new birds and this one is no exception!  Villa Blanca Cloud Forest Resort & Nature Reserve

And of course the new ones will soon appear in my Costa Rica Birds photo gallery.

My earlier posts had the more exciting birds like the  3-wattled Bellbird,  Emerald Toucanet,  Brown Jay with two Elegant Euphonias,  and Black Guan. And after the insects, I may do a post on the Night Hike which included several sleeping birds, just not real good photos, so we will see. And eventually I’ll post the new Hummingbirds gotten on this trip which are always slower for me to label.
And don’t forget that I have a large Costa Rica Birds PHOTO GALLERY with 165 species now. Making photos of the birds here is my main hobby and passion.
