Birding Costa Rica with MAS
Thursday, September 5th | 7:15 PM | Tyvola Senior Center
Join the Mecklenburg Audubon members who went on a birding trip to Costa Rica this past June and relive this wonderful trip with them. They visited mangrove swamps, lowland and mid-level rainforest, cloud forest and paramo. This diversity of habitat yielded 285 species of birds including six different owls and a stunning 22 types of hummingbirds. Highlights included large, raucous flocks of Scarlet Macaws on the Pacific coast and Resplendent Quetzals eating avocados high in the mountains. In addition to birds, this intrepid group experienced amazing insects, stunning plants, giant American Crocodiles, Agoutis, Coatis, Poison Dart Frogs, Three-toed Sloths, Capuchin Monkeys and many other natural wonders.
