BIG DAY. April 22nd, 2015. Costa Rica

Fito Downs, Leo Garrigues, Paco Madrigal and my self ( Carlos Luis Jiménez) scored 309 sps. We planned the best birding sites, different habitats and not much driving distances to maximize the bird list. Areas around La Selva, Poás volcano, Carara and Tarcoles river among other «special sites» gave us what we wanted. Our day started at 3 am and finished around 7 pm, great weather for most part of the day helped to reach a very good number of birds, some of the best of our targets : Black crowned Anpitta, Barred Hawk, Snowy Cotinga, Crested Owl, Central american Pygmy Owl, Barred Becard, Dark P

ewee, Black and yellow Silky Flycatcher,Black bellied Wren, Baird´s Trogon.
