Hello Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend!
Those of you who follow me know that I’m originally from Costa Rica but I live in Canada. Funny enough my Nature Photography journey started in 2014 after I moved here. I have had the chance to visit Costa Rica a couple of times in the last few months, and every time I travel I try to dedicate some time to my photography. Today I wanted to share a few behind the scenes pictures and one video of my adventures.
This video was taken in Sarapiquí by my friend “Cope” who is also a guide in the area. You have no idea how many mosquitoes were out there eating us alive! The birds we were observing were Spectacled Owls. I captured both video and images that I will share in the future. For now I have included a preview ;-)

The other place I visited was Tárcoles, close to Carara National Park. I went on a boat tour on the Tárcoles River and also did a field trip to Carara. This is a preview of one the images I captured; an Orange-collared Manakin which I think is an amazing bird. It was hard to find but worth the trip!

And finally on my latest trip I was able to visit Boca Tapada in San Carlos. It was the first time I went there and the trip was awesome. One of the coolest things I did was photographing King Vultures. I did this behind a blind where you have to be in complete silence. It was a great experience and this week I will share an image of a King Vulture that I have released as a fine art print on my website so stay tuned!

The other two places I visited were Pérez Zeledón and San Gerardo de Dota where I saw Quetzals. You can read more details about my trip to San Gerardo de Dota and the Quetzal image I released as a fine art print here.
In conclusion, these last trips were pretty good and I had a lot of fun. It’s always good to be out in Nature and capture some good wildlife images. Between all these trips I saw over 100 different species!!! :o This means I have a huge backlog and many images to share with you as well as videos.
