The Magic of Central America: Costa Rica’s Birds and Ecology
Benny Jacobs-Schwartz

Costa Rica has long been regarded as one of the top tropical birding destinations in the world and with good reason! This small Central American country is roughly the size of West Virginia yet is home to ~5% of the world’s biodiversity, 900+ species of birds with 47 avian endemics to the country!

During our presentation, we’ll visit a variety of ecosystems including the cloud forest, the Caribbean lowlands, the pacific dry forest, and the ecological factors that have made Costa Rica the international birding mecca that it is!

Benny Isaac Jacobs-Schwartz owns and operates a bird-guiding business and lifestyle brand called BIRDS by BIJS (pronounced Bee-jus). Working professionally for over 10 years as a naturalist guide, expedition trip leader, and international bird guide, Benny has worked in a variety of locations coast to coast, including exotic places such as; coastal Alaska, Central America, Trinidad and Tobago, and the Ecuadorian Amazon.
