Our final species count was 426 of which 229 were lifers taking my life count to 2.212 so I am super happy with the birding results. We were  very happy with the trip you organized for us and most of the places you arranged for us to stay.

You: Excellent birder with a broad knowledge of the Costa Rican ecology.. We appreciated your flexibility and the way you involved us in selecting activities by explaining the options to us.We also enjoyed our talks about a wide range of topics. Your relaxed easy going approach made us very.  comfortable.

Carlos: Excellent birder with a very good knowledge of the flora and fauna. We appreciated how hard he worked for us and his ability to locate species we had not see. He works well with the local people and thus is able to obtain information about local birding opportunities. His temperament is more variable which makes him seem less approachable but he always willingly helped us whenever we asked for his assistance. All of you were very helpful and accommodating. We had a great time,  enjoyed meeting you all as you are all nice guys who love birding and your country.
