9. Wildlife of Savegre Biological Reserve

LOCATION: Central Highland of Costa Rica. ACCESS: By bus from San Jose to Canon, takes about 2 hours. From Canon to Savegre Lodge by car arranged by the lodge. ACCOMMODATION: There are some accommodations along the Savegre river. Especially, Savegre Lodge is one of the best place in Costa Rica to see the Resplendent Quetzal. They have a private reserve for the Quetzals.

BIRDS:→SEE NEXT PAGE for QUETZAL This area (Cerro La Muerte) is one of the best place for bird watching in Costa Rica. I think this place is better than Monte Verde, because not so many bird watchers come to this area. More than 150 spices of mountain birds are observed in the reserve. For example; Green Violet-ear, Magnificent Hummingbird, Gray-throated Mountain-gem, Purple-throated Mountain-gem, Scintillant Hummingbird, Resplendent Quetzal, Acorn Woodpecker, Tufted Flycatcher, Emerald Toucanet, Torrent Tyrannulet, Long-tailed Silky-flycatcher, Three-striped Warbler, Flame-throated Warbler, Black-and-white Warbler, Wilson's Warbler, Collared Redstart, Blue-hooded Euphonia, Sooty-capped Bush-Tanager, Spangled-cheeked Tanager, Flame-colored Tanager, Slaty Flowerpiercer, etc. Lots of hummingbirds are observed around nectar feeder at the garden in the lodge.
