Costa Rica Video
If you dream of photographing exotic birds in their natural habitat, our Costa Rica Bird Photography Workshop is the perfect fit for you. This immersive bird photography tour in Costa Rica takes participants to the best birding hotspots in the country. Hosted by award-winning photographers and educators Jeff and Angie Birmingham.
Why Costa Rica for Bird Photography?
Costa Rica is a paradise for birders and photographers. The country is home to over 900 species of birds, including scarlet macaws, keel-billed toucans, dozens of species of hummingbirds, motmots, tanagers, manakins, and the breathtaking, resplendent quetzal. From the lowland rainforests to the highland cloud forests, every region is a new opportunity to capture the rare and colorful birds through your lens.
