Birding In Costa Rica

I live 300 feet from the Rainforest in Costa Rica, which allows me daily to see all species of Birds.  I have never considered myself a Birder yet, I find myself facinated by the Birds and their differences in calls, and especially in their Colors.
We see on a daily Basis, Toucans, Hawks, Eagles, I even captured a photo with an Ornate Hawk Eagle.  Rare and endangered species surround my home which is 300 feet from the Protected Rainforest. With Views of Arenal Volcano, I also notice that the Birds tend to know when the Volcano will erupt. The Colors of these beautiful Birds, I have tried to capture with my paintbrush and camera lens. All original paintings can also be purchased with custom hardwood frames made of Costa Rican Hardwoods, which are Beautiful.

Photo of Ornate Hawk Eagle in LaFortuna Costa Rica

Ornate Hawk Eagle Painting for Sale


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
