The area covered by this checklist includes the road from Pital to the Lodge; the surrounding roads to the neighboring farms; the Rio San Carlos near the Lodge to the Rio San Juan; a small portion of the Rio San Juan near Boca San Carlos; and the primary and secondary rainforests, pastures, cultivated areas and gardens around the Lodge. This list shows the many species you may encounter on a 3-5 day stay as you explore the excellent birding spots both in and around the lodge. The codes reflect the chances an average birder will have at observing or hearing a particular species. Remember, the more area (habitats) you cover, the more species you will see!
