We had 3 weeks birding in Costa Rica in March, where I got my 2000th lifer – a Resplendent Quetzal as shown above. We had a guide from Tropical Feathers with us for the entire trip, and he was extremely good at finding birds for us. We found it a bit hot in the lowlands, but pleasant in the mountains. Plenty of hummingbirds, and good boat trips. Highly recommended place for keen birders to visit.
