During a walk in the undeveloped area of Punta Leona, I spotted this woodpecker. I shot from quite far at 400mm, just to get something.
As I tried to approach for better shots, she flew off.

On our first afternoon at Punta Leona, the Macaw's showed up on the nut trees, right on the beach. Lots of people around. It was after 6pm with low light. In later days we could never get this close.

She was on a mound just behind our cottage in North Hatley, looking for insects or worms. My wife spotted her out the back window. Taken with the canon XTi & 100-400L.

A boat ride up & down the Tarcoles river in Parque Nacional Carara, provided this view. We went to its outlet and back to the shallowest navigable part. This one was in the reeds on the shore.

Same inn in North Hatley, this time near the feeders in their backyard.

In North Hatley, we stayed at an inn that had birdfeeders on their property. This jay was sort of approachable, and the closest I ever got to one with a camera.

A 2nd shot from Punta Leona of this Cuckoo. It is his tail underside that is so catchy to the eye, as he flashes into and out of view.

Last day in Punta Leona near Jaco, waiting for transport, heard a bird call across the street in a large tree, went to investigate. Spotted him, but I didn't get many clear shots. He kept screening behind foliage. Marveled at his extra long tail.

On a bug infested walk along the bic path out of Ayer's Cliff, I spotted this bird in some distant shrubs. Couldn't get closer. From the shape, I thought I saw a cuckoo, but didn't know we had them here. I was somewhat confused till I got to see the book. Requested by S.B.
