Below is a list of the 152 species that I identified in Costa Rica from 27 July until 7 August 2011 (2.5 days at Monteverde, 8 days at La Suerte Biological Field Station, and 1 day at Tortuguero). I've tried to indicate locations for each species; however, a few species do not have specific locations (e.g., Purple Gallinule) and were encountered while driving between the three main locations or were seen in San Jose. Please feel free to email me (blakemathys@hotmail.com) with any questions. I've also provided this table as an Excel file.

Species with (IHO) were "in-hand only", being caught in mist nets (pictures here) but not seen otherwise.
