I guess this doesn't really count as a Costa Rica bird, but at the hotel grounds a tidal pond attracted a great many waders including herons, egrets and this Roseate Spoonbill.
We first saw Spoonbills in the Everglades a few years back in one of our earliest nature trips. At that time, we were more interested in the Alligators and Crocs versus the birds. But the Spoonbill really stood out.
In Costa Rica, this Spoonbill spent most of the day searching through the muck and seaweed/algae for little tidbits to eat.
