Not Costa Rica specific, but when I'm researching a new location, I start
with the ebird hotspot map. From there you can find the hotspots nearby,
and see what species are being seen in the area. It looks like Tamarindo
has a hotspot for the city itself as well as a few beaches and resorts that
have quite a number (150+) species. If it's anything like Mexico, you'll be
surprised by just how many tropical species you can find right around where
you're staying.
