Nice to end with a couple of owls. The Bare-shanked Screech-Owl was roosting in the Santa Elaena Reserve near Monteverde. Thanks to Tony Pym and his Ornitholiday's party for helping us with this bird. We saw some great birds on the last couple of days of the trip in the Monteverde area. Stripe-tailed Hummingbird, Black Guan, Sooty-faced Finch, Orange-bellied Trogon, Slaty-backed Nightingale-Thrush, Lineated Foliage-Gleaner, red-faced Spinetail, Azure-hooded Jay, Ornate Hawk-Eagle and Yellow-throated Brush-Finch all being noteworthy.Black & White Owls have featured on this blog previously in last year's Costa Rica tour. We stopped in Orotina again and there they were in the Plaza once again. A nice one to end on - next trip Panama in May.
