BREEDING SPOTTED SANDPIPER, HOTEL RIU GUANACASTE BEACH, GUANACASTE, COSTA RICA

   For a week Sharon and I vacationed at the Hotel Riu Guanacaste in Guanacaste, Costa Rica.  We had a great time.  We birded in the hotel area and took birding trips with local guides.  Costa Rica has many beautiful birds that we saw and we added to our Life List.
   The breeding Spotted Sandpiper in the photo is about the only shorebird we sighted and one of the first photos we took.  It is in breeding plumage: bold spots on the neck, breast and underneath and an orange bill.
