Lista de aves
Esta lista ha sido recopilada por Dan Keller, guía pajarero, especialista norteamericano, durante su estadía en Sarapiquí. La lista cubre el área de las llanuras de Sarapiquí y de sus elevaciones medias entre los 50 y los 1000 metros sobre el nivel del mar.
Usando el Gran Gavilán del Sarapiquí Lodge como base de operaciones, esta lista muestra la cantidad de especies que usted puede encontrar con tan sólo una estadía de tres días promedio, si explora los excelentes puntos para pajarear que ofrece el hotel y sus alrededores.
Los códigos utilizados reflejan los promedios y oportunidades de observar determinadas especies.
Recuerde: cuantas más areas pueda cubrir, cuanta mayor dedicación, más aves podrá encontrar!
