Tropica Broadbilled MottMott Jungle Bird

Tropical MottMott
This morning I walked a few yards from my Home in "Costa Rica"." Environment and Protected Rainforests", so Wildlife is present on a Daily Basis.  Costa Rica the" Land of Nature" is famous for Bird Species, a few feet into the Rainforest" Jungle", I could saw this "Colorful Tropical Bird".  Much to my advantage the Sunlight was perfect for a photo and the MottMott was not at all startled by my presence.
Wildlife and numerous Birding Species are slowly disappearing in the World Today, and to celebrate "Earth Day", I was Lucky enough to stumble upon a Great Example that a "Protected Rainforest" will allow "Beautiful Birds" to inhabit the "Earth" for Generations to come.

Wildlife,Birds and Endangered Species are my Passion. Let us all Protect them. 10% of all Sales of my Artwork will be donated to the "National Wildlife Federation".

Birds in LaFortuna, Costa Rica

Costa Rica the perfect place to visit or live. I relocated from Florida to Costa Rica over a year ago. Today I live in a 1year old Cabin 300 feet from the Rainforest in Costa Rica, and love the Birding I have recently discovered. Always the Nature Lover, I was introduced to Birding at the Wildlife Festival in Titusville, Florida 2 years ago.
I see groups of "Birders" and "Birdwatchers" arrive in Town on a Daily basis to experience the numerous species of Birds that flock to this area of Costa Rica. With Arenal Volcano in the background, and the Rainforest before her, I have the perfect Landscape that attracts Birds large and small. Toucans, Hawks, Eagles all are seen on a Daily basis.
Luckily my new home has a wraparound porch and offers me an unobstructed View of the Volcano and Rainforest, thus all the Birds flock from the Low Canopies of the River and Rainforest to the surrounding pastures and fields.

I have captured some magnificent Birds in my photographs and Paintings

Birding In Costa Rica

Birding in Costa Rica is a different experience of Nature everyday. Living just feet from the Rainforest in La Fortuna, Costa Rica allow me great access to all species of Birds. Yesterday, I saw a "Cinnamon Becard" a beautiful brightly colored bird, very uncommon to this area of Costa Rica..
Birding is new to me and I see all kinds of "Birding Tourists" who arrive to this area of Costa Rica all day long. Being an artist and supporter of Wildlife I am very Happy to see the numerous Species of Birds I see on a Daily basis. I see Toucans, Eagles, Hawks and various seed eaters daily.  I find the overcast days are the best for the Larger Birds.
Please visit my website to see the photographs of birds and the paintings I have done since relocating to Costa Rica last year from the United States.
Happy Birding,

Ornate Hawk Eagle by Arenal Volcano
  I spotted an Ornate Hawk Eagle, perched high in a Tree that Borders the Rainforest below Arenal Volcano.  Living in Costa Rica, and having an unobstructed View of the Arenal Volcano, and the Rainforest that surrounds her, affords many opportunities to see and photograph many rare and endangered species. 
Wildlife surrounds our house here in LaFortuna, with Toucans, Eagles and Hawks and numerous species of seed eating birds.
My husband has taken up Painting many of the Birds, here is a Painting of an Ornate Hawk Eagle perched by Lake Arenal. Paintings and Photographs of Birds, and Wildlife are available at http://fineartamerica.com/profiles/william-patterson.html
