Costa Rica. days 12 and 13.

On the last days at Si Como No we had a white-water rafting trip, from the Rafiki Safari Lodge, obviously not the best kind of outing for bird photography. Nevertheless we did see several Bare-throated Tiger-Herons, which I was able to photograph later, both Green and Amazon Kingfishers and a Snowy Egret.

Back at the Rafiki lodge afterwards there was a feeding station.

Male and Female Thick-billed Euphonias.

The Golden-hooded Tanager is smaller than most of his family, but as you can see (and in the header image) amazingly pretty.

The next day we left Si Como No, and spent a night at Playa Blanca, with a visit to the beach
