On the final day of 2018 I was once again down in Costa Rica at the Rio Magnolia Lodge where I had a half dozen warbler species to end the year (Golden winged Warbler, Black and White Warbler, Tennessee Warbler, Mourning Warbler, Chestnut sided Warbler and Buff rumped Warbler).

The new year started as the last one ended with us down in Costa Rica at the Rio Magnolia Lodge. The first day of the new year started off with me adding a new warbler (and new species) to my Costa Rica list when I found a juvenile MacGillivray's Warbler at the lodge. In addition to the MacGillivray's Warbler I found four more species of warblers the first day of the year.

On the fourth we headed down to the Pacific Coast to Hacienda Baru where I picked up two new warbler species for the trip: Prothonotary Warbler and Northern Waterthrush. Right before we left I found a MacGillivray's Warbler, which is apparently unusual for the area. There were also a number of Chestnut sided Warblers and Tennessee Warblers plus a single male American Redstart and a single Mourning Warbler.

The remainder of the trip was spent around the lodge property with the a few new warbler species seen for the trip including my first Kentucky Warbler in Costa Rica, Yellow Warblers and Worm eating Warbler. The most warbler species I had in a single day was ten on January 6, all at the lodge.
Overall for the trip I found a total of 14 species of warbler which included the following species: Worm eating Warbler, Northern Waterthrush, Golden winged Warbler, Black and White Warbler, Prothonotary Warbler, Tennessee Warbler, Gray crowned Yellowthroat, MacGillivray's Warbler, Mourning Warbler, Kentucky Warbler, American Redstart, Yellow Warbler, Chestnut sided Warbler and Buff rumped Warbler....a great start to 2019! As typical for the area of Costa Rica we were in the most abundant warbler species were Chestnut sided Warbler and Tennessee Warbler. I got photos of almost all the species seen as well as a few recordings.
