BIRDS:→SEE NEXT PAGE
- There are a lot of waterbirds along the Tarcoles river, and
also a lot of birds are observed in mangrove. You can hire boats
at some lodges in Tarcoles.
- Shorebirds and Seabirds are observed here, for example, Brown Pelican, Anhinga, Wood Stork, White Ibis,
Yellow-crowned Night-Heron, Tricolored Heron, Little Blue Heron,
Boat-billed Heron, Bare-throated Tiger-Heron, Green-backed Heron,
Black-necked Stilt, Ringed Kingfisher, Green Kingfisher,
etc...
- Lots of forest birds are observed in Carara Biological Reserve.
But there are only a few short trails in the reserve. Very difficult
to see forest birds and aminals.
- Some of the birds spieces are unique, for example,
Yellow-headed Caracara, Baird's Trogon, Fiery-billed Aracari,
Golden-naped Woodpecker, Red-crowned Woodpecker, Scaret Macaw,
etc...
- Especially, you can see Scaret Macaws from the bridge across
the Tarcoles river in he evening. They fry over your head to
go back to their roosts. Maybe this is the best way to observe
them. You can hear their voice along the river side track, but
very difficult to see them.
MAMMALS:
- Not so many mammals are observed this area, but occasionally
observed Puma along the loop trail.
OTHERS:
- Lots of huge Crocodiles are observed in the Tarcoles river
from the bridge. And also you can see feeding huge (junping)
crocodiles from the boat.
