I Found 18 Bird Species in One Hike! | Costa Rica

Welcome back to another Wildlife Photography Adventure! Today we're heading out on a relaxing 4 km hike along a tropical river on the Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica—one of the most biodiverse places on Earth. Our goal? Photograph as many bird species as possible. What started as a casual morning walk quickly turned into one of my best bird photography sessions so far. Throughout this hike we encounter 18 different bird species, including colorful Scarlet Macaws, Red-lored Amazons, Roseate Spoonbills, Bare-throated Tiger-Herons and many more incredible tropical birds. Whether you're into wildlife photography, birdwatching or simply enjoy exploring untouched rainforest, I hope you'll enjoy coming along. 🐦 Bird Species in this Video • Spotted Sandpiper (Actitis macularius) • Roseate Spoonbill (Platalea ajaja) • Tropical Mockingbird (Mimus gilvus) • Black-necked Stilt (Himantopus mexicanus) • Great-tailed Grackle (Quiscalus mexicanus) • Streaked Flycatcher (Myiodynastes maculatus) • Red-lored Amazon (Amazona autumnalis) • Scarlet-rumped Tanager (Ramphocelus passerinii) • Least Flycatcher (Empidonax minimus) • Scarlet Macaw (Ara macao) • Bare-throated Tiger-Heron (Tigrisoma mexicanum) • Gray-crowned Yellowthroat (Geothlypis poliocephala) • Neotropic Cormorant (Nannopterum brasilianum) • Variable Seedeater (Sporophila corvina) • White Ibis (Eudocimus albus) • Blue-gray Tanager (Thraupis episcopus) • Ruddy Ground Dove (Columbina talpacoti) • Golden-hooded Tanager (Stilpnia larvata) 📈 15 of these species were completely new for my life list!
