It has never occurred to my wife and me, that we would own a birding agency in Costa Rica – Monteverde, and get settled in Central America from Italy and the USA. And yet here we are, one turn after another, fate brought Renzo from Italy to Costa Rica first, then Grace from the States. Eventually, we landed ourselves at this little oasis in Monteverde which we thought would be the best place to raise a family and starts our business. After several years of work in the Hotel industry, we decided to open a birdwatching agency to help our guests to choose the best places in Costa Rica.

But it is a bird-rich neotropical region with a large number of species for its area. We have a higher density of bird species than any continental American country.
According to the Asociación Ornitológica de Costa Rica (AOCR, which published the official bird list of the Costa Rican Rare Birds and Records Committee) we have 922 species. This number is higher than has been recorded in all of the 49 mainland United States and Canada combined.
This birding list includes:
- seven endemic species
- 69 that are rare or accidental
- and four have been introduced by humans.
73 of them are near-endemic with ranges that include only Costa Rica and Panama. Twenty-seven species, including five of the seven endemics, are globally vulnerable or endangered.
Nearly 600 species are residents, with most of the other regular visitors being winter migrants from North America.
Where is the best bird watching in Costa Rica?
We can say every-where, we can name some places. But to be honest, it is a matter of bird choice.
My advice is to find not touristic places, even when you are visiting some tourist zone. The more tourists you encounter, the fewer birds you will see.Caño Negro wetland is a very interesting place to discover. It is a great birding hotspot in Costa Rica. We united a few ecosystems in one region. Here you can find wetlands, forests, swamps, rivers and creeks, lagoon.
Because of this peculiar environment, you will have the advantage to observe shorebirds, forest birds, night birds.
Along the year, with two different seasons also we encounter different birds species. For example, during the dry season, we can see more shorebirds like the glossy ibis, roseate spoonbill, limpkin, Lapwing and plovers, Stilt, Sandpipers. Meanwhile, during the rainy season, we are exploring more often the forest along the river, such as the bellbird, cotinga, Ovenbirds and woodcreepers, woodpeckers, Trogons, Hawks, and kites.
What are some of the iconic birds where you live?
It is hard to say. As a personal preference, those are the 3 birds that I always enjoy when I see them: The Jabirú, the Agami Heron, and the Sungrebe.
Around Caño Negro National Refuge, during a bad day, you can probably spot around 50 species of birds during a 3 hours boat tour. But we also reach during a perfect morning 99 species in 4 hours.In this wetland we find a lot of great birding hotspot in Costa Rica.
