On July 14, 2014, we will be departing on our mission trip/birding trip. Through Ethan's church, Kenwood Baptist Church, we will be serving with Soles4Souls, which will involve us distributing shoes to the people in the capital city of Costa Rica, San Jose. This portion of the trip will be July 14-July 16.
As the majority of the people on the tip will be heading home, we will be meeting up with Rob Ripma from Sabrewing Tours and we will be heading to Rancho Naturalista for four days to bird in the lowland tropical rainforest habitat where we should expect to see many types of amazing species including the Snowcap Hummingbird, a species which is difficult to find anywhere except can be seen frequently at the feeders at Rancho. From Rancho, we will be heading to Savegre Mountain Lodge where we will be birding in the higher elevation mountain habitat. Here we will be searching for some of the higher elevation species which can be difficult to see elsewhere such as the Volcano Junco, Volcano Hummingbird, and the amazing Resplendent Quetzal.
With only 11 days until the trip, we are getting extremely excited and will be updating this blog throughout the trip.
