I spent Christmas Eve and Christmas around the lodge trying to catch up with a few new species and get better looks (and photographs) of ones I had already seen. Yet again I had a lot of luck and the days just flew by. It was very relaxing spending almost the entire day just poking around the grounds to see what I could find. The final two days were capped by a great Christmas dinner. The next day we had just a short time around the lodge before the long drive back to San Jose and our flight home. The best bird on that day would be a pair of Scarlet Macaws near the town of Jaco.
My totals for the trip worked out as follows:
Total species on trip-250
Life birds-66
New Costa Rica birds-92

have now loaded all my photos from the trip to my Flickr site at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/54277284@N05/sets/72157632356779792/
Let me know what you think of them.
