I am just returned from a two week visit to Costa Rica, birding strictly in
the southern quarter of the country (sites listed below). One entire week was
with Osa Conservation -- a Costa Rican agency attempting to save land in the
beautiful Osa Peninsula from development. The tour was lead by Craig Thompson
of La Crosse and included all Wisconsites. Part of the trip cost was a direct
contribution to Osa Conservation and in this age of monumental environmental
stressors that felt particularly good! I had the pleasure of birding with
several excellent local guides -- including Roy Orozco (out of Quepos) and Nito
Castro (Puerto Jimenez). I found both of these men to be excellent guides and
would highly recommend them. 311 species total (listed below, with individual
