Last year in Costa Rica at Tapanti National Park, with our guide Randall Ortega Chavez, we saw the Sharpbill, a difficult bird to see. Randall followed the bird to find it go to its nest. This was the first sighting of the Sharpbill nest since a sighting in Brazil many years ago and the first sighting of a nest in Costa Rica. It was reported to the Museum of Natural History and many local birders went to the sight to record the event and take pictures of the nest and the nestlings. It was very exciting to be a part of this important ornithological discovery.
