Part 2 of my adventures in Costa Rica . Costa Rica Mar 21 - 28 Mar 2024 . Here are just a few photos of some of amazing wildlife that I captured on my second trip to Guanacaste province, Costa Rica. From my early morning birdwatching trips to Canopy Tours, Costa Rica where we watched Male Long-tailed Manikins perform there courting rituals, Barred Ant shrikes too another Birdwatching, Crocodiles and Monkey Tour in the Estuary in Tamarindo where I seen several birds like the Yellow-crowned Night Heron, Plumbeous Kite, Southern Lapwings and many others. The Palo Verde boat tour on the Tempisque River where we seen Boat Billed Herons, Amazon Kingfisher, Northern Jacana, and White-faced Capuchin Monkeys. This time I spent more time exploring the mangrove forests and streets around the resort where I captured Painted Buntings, White necked Puffbird, Orange-fronted Parakeets and many, many other birds. Other highlights was seeing Montezuma Oropendolas on my trip to Rincón de la Vieja an active andesitic complex volcano, and my night hike outside Tamarindo where I seen Tarantulas, Scorpions, Spiders, various frogs and toads, and a Common Pauraque.
