A spotted sandpiper flies past.
After the two smaller kingfisher species, Costa Rica’s biggest species on a branch: a ringed kingfisher.
A lesser nighthawk sleeping on another branch.
A yellow-naped parrot in a tree.

It tries to look like a pole, like bitterns sometimes do.
A great egret.
A Harris’s hawk in a tree.
Black-bellied whistling ducks.
A limpkin.
