More than 500 bird species were recorded in 140 ac / 60 ha of Rancho Naturalista's private premontane forest reserve, at 3,000 ft / 900 m above sea level and belonging to the Caribbean (Talamanca’s) foothills biome: Sunbittern , hummingbirds such as Snowcap and Purple-crowned Fairy ; Broad-billed Motmot and Rufous Motmot , Spotted Antbird , Lovely Cotinga ...
You can start your morning in a relaxed manner, with a coffee and sweets among the hummingbird feeders at the communal balcony of the lodge, observing Violet Sabrewing , White-necked Jacobin , Green Hermit , Green-breasted Mango , Crowned Woodnymph , Rufous-tailed Hummingbird , etc.
Or, you can hike and bird the four ranch trails (ranging from 0.3 mi / 400 m to 1.6 mi / 2.5 km, and totalling 4 mi / 7 km) on your own, or with Rancho's in-house guides, Mercedes and Harry. On a guided walk, it is possible to observe 120 to 140 species in a single morning, including Snowcap , Tawny-chested Flycatcher , Purplish-backed Quail-Dove ; White-collared Manakin (lek), White-crowned Manakin and White-ruffed Manakin ; Dull-mantled Antbird , Thicket Antpitta , Black-throated Wren-Babbler , Black-crested Coquette , Tawny-throated Leaftosser and the Gray-headed Piprites . Also a chance of Paint-billed Crake .
