Birds of Manuel Antonio

Manuel Antonio National Park, located along the Central Pacific coast of Costa Rica in the province of Puntarenas, is internationally recognized as a hotspot for avian diversity. Despite its relatively small size of just under 20 km², the park and its surrounding buffer zones provide critical habitats for a wide variety of resident and migratory bird species. As such, it serves as an important site for ornithological research, birdwatching tourism, and biodiversity conservation.
