Costa Rica. Day 7 and 8

We then left the highlands, and drove down to Rancho Pacifico for another couple of days before the rest of the family joined us. The bird life was completely different at low elevations, on the pacific coast, one of the reasons that Costa Rica is such an amazing birding destination, despite being a small country there are over 1000 species recorded, but with great variations based on location in the country.

At Rancho Pacifico there was a Fiery-billed Aracari nest close to the central area of the hotel, and I was able to spend time watching them entering and leaving the nest.
