Exciting Birdwatching Destination - Costa Rica!
While visiting Costa Rica, take your grandchildren to Zoo Ave (La Garita, south of Alajuela) - This wildlife conservation park is a great way to see animals local to Costa Rica. In the wild it's hard to catch a glimpse of the gorgeous quetzal bird, but at Zoo Ave you're guaranteed a long look at two beautiful emerald-colored quetzales. In the open air enclosures, you'll find colorful parrots, toucans, macaws, a crusty crocodile, caimans, iguanas, kinkajous and many birds.

This is a good CD. You'd think that both tracks would be the same because they both start the same - light rain falling and birds chirping. But the tracks are quite different. And there's not just birds on this CD. There are also frogs and howler monkeys. Well, the point is that its a great CD!

Costa Rica's National Bird is the "Yig?quot; or Clay Colored Robin
The Yig?quot; (Turdus grayi), also known as the clay colored robin or gray thrush, was designated National Bird on November, 1976. The "Yig?" found throughout Costa Rica, represents the fertility of the earth, the symbol of the rain fertilizing the earth, the richness of Costa Rican soil. The "Yig?quot; sings to claim rain since it generally sings at the beginning of the rainy season and mate during that season.The nesting season takes place between April and May. During this time, the "Yig?quot; does not sing and lays from two to three eggs. The "Yig?" a friendly and peaceful bird, is not afraid of humans, however, it protects its brood.
