We were able to see many different birds while were near Arenal, most of which we had never seen before.


Costa Rica's national bird, the Clay-colored thrush


A very prominent bird at the lodge was the Montezuma Oropendola







The Oropendolas nest in colonies in large, woven, hanging nests.



This Oropendola nest had fallen out of a tree near our room.
