"A landmark in birding"… John Fitzpatrick, Director, Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology

BirdsEye Costa Rica makes planning a birding trip and getting to know the Costa Rican birds easy. The hardest part of birding a new area is learning which birds are expected and which are rare.

Limitations to be aware of: BirdsEye is not a field guide, it is an indispensable field tool for finding birds. Sounds are available only for the migrants from North America. An active internet connection is required for sightings and to download images and sounds for the first time. Photos are available for more than 95% species but are missing for a few birds that are rare in Costa Rica. Please consider contributing photos at: birdsinthehand.com/photos
