I spent a while alone birding up right at the top of the reserve on the trail that goes up to Mount Chirripo this morning. There was lots of bird activity in the old growth trees, the best sighting being a rather lucky view of an
Ornate Hawk-eagle which glided silently through the trees just as I turned my head. Other firsts today included
Yellow-thighed Finch,
Chestnut-headed Brush-finch,
Ruddy Treerunner,
Orchraceous Wren,
Lineated Foliage-gleaner,
Three-striped Warbler,
Eye-ringed Flatbill and
Ruddy-capped Thrush-nightingale.
Unfortunately, no photos of any of these species since my bridge camera has succumbed to the humid conditions. I will have to lug my scope up the mountain from now on to digiscope birds.
Here are some photos of some other species...
