What you should know before birding in Costa Rica | How to prepare, what to bring, and where to go
Are you planning to visit Costa Rica to go birding? Here are a few things you should know before your trip. Welcome back to Jabiru Stories! This week, we're taking a look at how to prepare for a birding trip to this beautiful country: Costa Rica. It's a very birdy place for sure, but can you realistically expect to see most of the birds in the field guide? Where should you go? Is eBird good in Costa Rica? Do you need hiking boots in Costa Rica? What should you pack? Should you bring your scope? These and many more were my questions when I first visited the country. Let us know yours in the comments! I'm not affiliated in any way to any of the products or services mentioned in this video. Just stuff I like.
