Would Costa Rica be the same after twenty years? I saw similar fauna and flora on both Holbrook trips (1997 Elderhostel Naturalist Study; 2017 Road Scholar Photography), but in different locations. Instead of hiking jungle trails in 1997 to spot birds and animals, abundant wildlife in 2017 were in ecological parks, breeding farms, butterfly observatories, and similar places. The Hummingbird trio picture was taken at a lunch stop that had bird feeders. My favorite place on both trips was the Selva Verde Rainforest Reserve and Lodge.
