► Wonders of Costa Rica
Hi! We're Kevin and Kelsey, it's nice to meet you. We live in Costa Rica and enjoy nature and birding here in CR and around the world. Follow us on our journey of observing the more than 900 bird species here in Costa Rica. We make a great team: Kevin has a great eye to spot the birds and other wildlife hidden up in the trees. Kelsey always has a hard time spotting them until Kevin points them out, but loves photography/videography and tries to capture and convey the most special moments and stories. Thank you for being here. Pura vida y saludos!
