COSTA RICA

8 - 28 July 1996

by David B. Collinge

Systematic list for July 1996 Trip

Nomenclature and order follows Stiles and Skutch. I have used the official Spanish names (according to S'n'S), but Kenneth assures me that the colloquial names are better known (e.g. Víuda for Blue and Grey Tanager).
Note that a list of mammals and reptiles follows the birds.
