Hello all,
Nineteen of us recently returned home from Costa Rica, where we participated in the latest birding-focused fund-raising tour led by Dr. R. Kannan. The funds go towards the Arkansas Audubon Society Trust endowment, which releases grants to projects focused on research, conservation, and education.
This was my 1st trip with Dr. Kannan - he exceeded my expectations! Our local guide Esteban was beloved by all of us, the lodges had the creature comforts of home, and the birding/nature exploration was amazing. Take note of future trips that Dr. Kannan shares via this listserv!
Please click on the link below to see our eBird checklist for the entire trip, which includes a brief narrative description/highlights, our photos of 162/320 species seen and/or heard, as well as a link to our iNaturalist Bioblitz report. https://ebird.org/tripreport/304081
