2000 [May] - Tom Harrison
http://maybank.tripod.com/CentralAmerica/CostaRica/CostaRica-05-2000.htmI stayed at the Hotel Camino Real near the Managua airport. It`s quite a nice hotel with a lovely pool, spa facilities, great service, good food and rather spacious grounds. In fact, on the hotel grounds over the next few days, I saw: Rufous-naped Wren, Great-tailed Grackle, Ruddy Ground-Dove, Clay-colored Robin, Black-cowled Oriole, White-winged Dove, Tropical Pewee, Boat-billed Flycatcher, Turquoise-browed Motmot, Red-billed Pigeon, Hoffmann`s Woodpecker, Melodious Blackbird, Dusky-capped Flycatcher, Blue Grosbeak, Social Flycatcher, Tropical Kingbird, Blue-gray Tanager, Groove-billed Ani, Spot-breasted Oriole, Bronzed Cowbird, Scaly-breasted Hummingbird, and Streaked Flycatcher.

Birding Nicaragua
http://www.nvmundo.com/toursnicaragua/birding.htmFor the bird watcher this is a truly memorable experience. Unique to Nicaragua, Birding Nicaragua is not only the first and only tour of its kind in Nicaragua, but also one of the most diverse nature watching experiences available anywhere. What`s more, your visit will not just benefit your own bird list, but also that of the scientists working here in Nicaragua. Nicaragua`s bird life is the least studied in the region and you can help to uncover this wealth of diversity and airborne beauty. Last counts from Sibley and Monroe`s checklist put the species at 688 from 59 families, but you can be sure there are much more. Note that Nicaragua has more specialty birds (those which can be found only in Central America); a total of 19, than any other Central American country.
