Many years since my wife and I spent a wonderful two weeks there recording the birds and other wildlife, a wonderful experience, John and Penny Hale

Beautiful video....

[@davidtipping1370]

Thank you.

[@elizabethblock5462]

Lovely. I think your unidentified bird is a Warbling Vireo.

[@davidtipping1370]

Thanks Elizabeth. Somebody else suggested the bird was a Tennessee Warbler - these little brown jobs can be very confusing!

[@griffynleyshon2892]

I believe it is actually a yellow-green vireo. In latin America the yellow-greens are more common, with the closely related, and similar looking red eyed vireos also migrating through the area on their way to North American breeding grounds.

Bird at 15:45 is a Tennessee Warbler!

[@davidtipping1370]

Thanks Steven. I've had the identity confirmed by other sources since the video was made.

[@StevenRash]

Cool! Thanks for the video. My wife and I are headed down there for our honeymoon in January! Hope to see many of the wonderful species you featured.

[@richardperkins422]

The bird right before the acorn woodpecker was a tennessee warbler

[@davidtipping1370]

Thanks Richard.

Hai David Can you suggests me some good Birding lodges in Costa rica to stay and birding

[@davidtipping1370]

Hi Sajan, We went with HF Holidays and stayed in 4 different hotels/lodges, all of which offered excellent birding and plenty of other wildlife too. Details here: www.hfholidays.co.uk/holidays-and-tours/costa-rica Our leader during the holiday was Noel Urena, who also offers private birding tours through his Tropical Feathers website. I cannot recommend him highly enough; what he doesn't know about the birds of Costa Rica isn't worth knowing. This is his website: www.costaricabirdingtours.com/

[@jeanchateauvert8149]

hi David and the kingfisher is an amazon kingfisher

[@davidtipping1370]

Thanks Jean - it was a case of information overload during the holiday so there may be a few incorrect identifications in there.

[@jeanchateauvert5734]

not great kiskadee the first bird but looks like social kiskadee

[@davidtipping1370]

Thanks Jean, I wasn't certain about all the identifications and might have a few others wrong too.

[@MrNito1972]

It is a social flycatcher

[@joshdewitt8796]

I bet you watch Greg Baker

[@davidtipping1370]

Never heard of him, to be honest!
