Costa Rica Palo Verde Birds

Palo Verde National Park is home to some 300 species of birds. Take a boat ride down the Tempisque River and see the Ringed Kingerfisher, Great White Egret, Hummingbirds, Tanagers and Warblers.

Different species of herons are bountiful at Palo Verde from the colonies of boat-bill herons, great blue herons, little green herons, yellow-crowned night herons and that nation's largest colony of black-crowned night herons.

You may even get lucky and spot a black eagle, one of the park's larger resident raptors.

Palo Verde is also home to other avian exotics such as the chestnut-mandibled toucan and the only permanent colony of scarlet macaws in the dry tropics.

To round of our tour of birds of Palo Verde, we come to the snowy egret which is easily identifiable by its golden slippers.
