Presentation by Tanya Sanders
Follow us through 5 different regions to see many of the birds living in those tropic habitats. The colors and plumage of the large number of birds living in Costa Rica really stretch the imagination.
Bio: Since the first time my father held me up to the window to point out a crossbill on the birdfeeder when I was a little girl, I have been interested in birds. There were lots of stories from my childhood of raising gulls in the backyard, and trips to the salt marshes. Only in the last 5 years have I really become an enthusiast though, following reports of rare birds, and traveling to distant sites.
