Posada Natura offers an excellent location for a birding enthusiast to enjoy the rainforest and to expand their repertoire of rainforest bird sightings. Guided hikes into the Eco Era Reserve assure that your group will be the only people in the pristine rainforest. Additional trips to Manuel Antonio National Park will introduce you to a different sub-ecosystem where other species can be observed.
Below is an excerpt from the the manuel antonio national park website:
“And finally, anybody who keeps a life-list of birds seen will want to try to chalk up views of the various southern Pacific endemics – all birds found only in this portion of Costa Rica and adjacent western Panama. These include the fiery-billed aracari, orange-collared manakin, riverside wren, golden-naped woodpecker, Baird’s trogon, beryl-crowned hummingbird, white-crested coquette, and yellow-billed and turquoise cotingas. Additionally, the aforementioned scarletorumped tanager has now been split into two distinct species by the American Ornithologists Union taxonomic committee with the result that the birds seen in Manuel Antonio are now called Cherrie’s tanagers (the Caribbean counterpart now receives the name Passerini’s tanage and become another of the southern endemics. Good luck and happy birding!”
