Some images from my trip to beautiful Costa Rica this past January. This was my second trip to the country. We saw about 130 bird species (out of over 800 possible) and I added 60 life list additions including these 4.

1. Slate-throated Redstart

2. Speckled-Cheeked Tanager

Thanks Fee. I had an extended stretch at work that reduced my downtime but I'm over the hump now so I should be posting more often. I've got lots more images to share but I'll save the hummingbird setups for last. ;)

You have come back in style Mr. Stephen. I especially appreciate the Slate-throated Redstar because it is cute, composed & exposed very nicely and a has a touch of that wow factor that makes photographs special.
