The Magic of Central America: Costa Rica’s Birds and Ecology
November 15 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
Free
The Santa Barbara Audubon Society invites the public to a program on Costa Rica’s exceptional bird world on Wednesday, November 15 at Farrand Hall, Museum of Natural History. Time is 7:30 – 9:00 p.m.
Costa Rica has long been regarded as one of the top tropical birding destinations in the world. Roughly the size of West Virginia, it is home to approximately 5% of the world’s biodiversity. More than 900 species of birds with many regional endemics are found only in Costa Rica and Western Panama.
This illustrated presentation will visit a variety of ecosystems including the cloud forest, the Caribbean lowlands, and the Pacific tropical dry forest, illustrating the ecological factors that have made Costa Rica an international birding mecca.
