List of birds of Costa Rica

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Although Costa Rica is a small country, it is in the bird-rich neotropical region, and has a huge number of species for its area. 894 bird species have been recorded in the country (including Cocos Island), with seven endemics. 19 species are globally threatened. The Official List of the Asociación Ornitológica de Costa Rica contains 857 species.

About 600 species are resident, with most of the other regular visitors being winter migrants from North America.

Part of the diversity stems from the range of habitats, ranging from Caribbean mangrove swamps to chains of mountains down the spine of the country rising to more than 3,500 m. This chain forms a geographical barrier, which has enabled speciation to take place so that closely-related but different species may occur on either side of the chain - a good example is the White-collared Manakin of the Caribbean side, which is now distinct from the Orange-collared Manakin of the Pacific slope.

In the past, higher sea levels left the mountains as highlands, and isolation again led to distinct species developing, with over thirty now endemic to the mountains, especially the Talamanca range which extends from southern Costa Rica into Panama.

Costa Rica's national bird is the ubiquitous Clay-colored Robin.
