Mirar Aves Selva Negra

Private birdwatching tours are available with advanced reservations. Although we can never guarantee what you will spot on our birdwatching tour, you can be sure it will be a memorable experience.

What might you see:

Around the lodge the most common species include Rufous-tailed Hummingbird, Tropical Kingbird, Bushy-crested Jay, Band-backed and House wrens, Clay-colored Robin, Yellow-winged Tanager and Melodious Blackbird.
While hiking the forest trails, Three- wattled Bellbird, White-breasted Wood-Wren and Slate-colored Solitaire dominate the dawn chorus. Look (and listen) for chattering mixed-species flocks led by Golden-crowned Warbler and Red- crowned Ant-Tanager, and at higher elevations, Mountain Elaenia and Common Bush-Tanager. Flocks of North American migrants occur in winter, both in the forest and at flowering trees around the farm, especially Wood Thrush, Black-throated Green and Wilson’s warblers and Baltimore Oriole.
Some of the specialties of Selva Negra that take a little more effort include Highland Guan, White-faced Quail-Dove, Green-breasted Mountain-Gem, Long-tailed Manakin, White- eared Ground-Sparrow and the Resplendent Quetzal.
