David Magney - Costa Rica - Birds Seen or Heard Birds Seen or Heard in Costa Rica There are hundreds (more than 830) of bird species in Costa Rica, which provides tropical habitats from the Caribbean coast, humid swamps and wetlands, to the high, relatively cool cloud forests, to alpine habitats on the highest mountains, to the humid but relatively mild Central Valley, to the Pacific Coast.   Twenty-five percent of Costa Rica's natural habitats are preserved in national parks or biological preserves, and represented by each major habitat type.   This habitat preservation by the Costa Rican government and private conservation organizations and individuals has allowed the high species diversity and richness of this part of torrid Central America to retain much of its native bird species.   A little more than 850 bird species have been recorded as occurring in Costa Rica, including Cocos Island.   Of these, about 600 species are residents.   A considerable number are endemic species.   About 200 species are migrant species.
