After Nicaragua it wa on to Costa Rica, via an overnight ferry crossing of Lago Omtepe.
Conditions on the boat were far from luxury
But were compensated by a nice sunset
First birding stop in Costa Rica was La Fortuna and Arenal Volcano. A day trip up to the grounds of Arenal Observatory Lodge produced a few nice sightings:
Spotted Antbird
Black-cheeked Woodpecker
Chestnut-sided Warbler
Green Honeycreeper
Crimson-collared Tanager
Violet-headed Hummingbird
Broad-billed Motmot
White Hawk

GREAT PICY of the Motmot - top stuff and good birding memories, but you should be revising!! Its bleak up north - plenty of snow - even you southerners must be getting some now?? Happy New Year and good birding in 2010 Joe.
Oh my god, WTF! You've actually pulled your finger out your arse and uploaded some more photos from the trip almost a year ago ... amazing. Well done old chap, got anymore?
