Costa Rica has over 50 species of tanagers. I think I've seen 12. Just means I've gotta get back down there!

Thanks! It'll be my 5th trip since 2019, but the first time I'm going specifically for birding. So stoked!
In 2 weeks I'll be wearing shorts, sipping delicious coffee, and taking pictures of birds in beautiful Costa Rica. It'll be hard to come back to the sh!tstorm here. #birds πͺΆπͺΆ
Part 2: In less than 3 weeks, I'll be back in Costa Rica trying to check some lifers off my list. Here are a few from my last trip in July of last year. #birds πͺΆ
