Birds & volcanoes

Service Description

The mythical Arenal Volcano and all the wonderful birds of the foothill rainforest can be simply overwhelming. Unless you visit with a true local birder with more than 10 years living and guiding birdwatchers in the area. Anthony, is a true expert in finding birds and getting the field marks right, he will definitely let you know how! Join this new Live Virtual Birding Tour to get a first glimpse of how to get around the area, where the best birding locations are and overall, how is the bird activity at one of the best bird feeding stations of the entire area. The lush rainforest around you will be stunning and if weather allows the breathtaking views of the powerful Arenal Volcano will be possible. The session starts as Anthony will give you an overview of the Arenal area and he will go to action immediately with our first birds through his sharp Swarovski HD spotting scope. As we broadcast live from a busy bird feeder the clear and constant views of Scarlet-rumped, Blue-gray, Golden-hooded, Palm and Crimson-collared Tanagers are almost granted, then Honeycreepers as well, like Green and Red-legged. The immaculate Tropical Mockingbird, the noisy Gray-headed Chachalacas, giant Crested Guan and even maybe a Great Curassow. Collared Aracari and Yellow-throated Toucans are usually around and Russet-naped Wood-rail and White-throated Crake can be nice surprises in a little pond nearby. Imagine how spectacular will be to have your Lifer secretive crake on a virtual tour! Even a Three-toed Sloth can be seen from this location. This is not a recording and not a secure and well-memorized PowerPoint presentation, this is real birding live from the heart of the rainforest. As he show you and explain you about the birds he will also reveal his secrets on how to maximize your birding time in the area in case you want to visit in the future and some other interesting stuff about the everyday life in this Costa Rican town now. The town now is heavily impacted by the total crash due to the pandemic. But your tour is greatly helping to keep birding and tourism alive thanks to your virtual presence in this magical area. You will surprise with all you can learn and connect with just an hour of Live Virtual Birding.
