update 202603

Our Costa Rica birding adventure is officially underway. We spent a pre-tour day at the hotel to adjust to the time difference and managed to photograph about 25 species right on the grounds, including this charming little owl. On the first official day of the tour, we spotted and photographed 65 species, featuring this same owl in an impressively spirited pose. We have encountered so many incredible species and captured so many great shots already. Stay tuned for more updates.

我们的哥斯达黎加观鸟之旅正式开启。为了缓解时差，我们先在酒店休息了一天，期间在酒店内就拍摄到了约25种鸟类，其中包括这只可爱的小鸺鹠。在行程的第一天，我们共观测并拍摄到了65种鸟类，再次记录下了这只鸺鹠神采奕奕的身影。这里有太多精彩的物种和照片，请持续关注我们的后续更新。

2. Lesser Ground-Cuckoo, 小地鹃, 小地鵑, Morococcyx erythropygus, チビミチバシリ

update 202603

Day 5 of our Costa Rica birding expedition and we have already photographed 151 species. We have encountered so many incredible birds, including this remarkable, secretive Lesser Ground-Cuckoo. Its behavior reminds me of the other two species I have photographed; it calls and then moves like a ghost—approaching silently, but jumping into the trees to call again once it is alert. What an amazing day and a stunning bird. I am so grateful to our local guide for their expertise and for giving us a second chance to track down this bird.

这是我们哥斯达黎加观鸟之旅的第5天，目前已经拍摄到了151种鸟类。我们见到了许多优秀的鸟种，其中包括这只令人惊叹且行踪隐秘的小地鹃。它的行为和我之前拍摄过的另外两种地鹃很像，发出鸣叫后便如同幽灵般悄无声息地靠近，但在警觉时会跳上树枝再次鸣叫。真是精彩的一天，感谢我们的当地向导对我们的信任，并给了我们第二次机会去寻找这只美丽的鸟。

3. Black-and-white Owl, 斑眉林鸮, 珠眉叫鴞, Strix nigrolineata, シロクロヒナフクロウ

update 202603

On our way back to the hotel after a boat ride, our guide heard an owl calling. We rushed over with limited light and soon spotted this beautiful Black-and-white Owl perched right by the roadside. Such a stunning bird.

乘船游览后在返回酒店的途中，我们的向导听到了一声猫头鹰的叫声。尽管光线有限，我们还是迅速赶了过去，很快就发现这只美丽的斑眉林鸮就站在路边。真是太漂亮了。

4. White-throated Magpie-Jay, 白喉鹊鸦, 鵲鴉, Cyanocorax formosus, カンムリサンジャク

update 202603

This is one of those common yet incredibly beautiful birds to photograph. On the second day of our tour, we managed to spot it twice, capturing lovely moments both times. It is now day seven, and we have photographed 206 species. As we begin the highland portion of the trip, we just successfully found the primary target for everyone on the tour: the Resplendent Quetzal. More to come soon.

这定是一种常见却又极具拍摄美感的鸟类。在行程的第二天，我们成功两次目击到它，并每次都留下了精彩的摄影瞬间。今天是第七天，我们已经拍摄到了206种鸟类。随着高地行程的开启，我们刚刚带领大家捕捉到了本次行程的核心目标：凤尾绿咬鹃。更多精彩敬请期待。

5. Unspotted Saw-whet Owl, 无斑棕榈鬼鸮, 無斑棕櫚鬼鴞, Aegolius ridgwayi, メキシコキンメフクロウ

update 202603

We’re offering a special tour led by expert local guides to track down one of the region’s rarest owls. Our latest outing was a huge success—in just two hours, we spotted two mammals, one owl, and one nightjar. Although the owl was vocal, it remained shy and difficult to spot on the forest trails. Fortunately, through persistence and teamwork, almost everyone in the group managed to capture photos of it at different locations. Great effort by the whole team.

这是与当地导游合作推出的特别行程。我们尝试寻找这种稀有的鸮类，并期待其他的惊喜。事实证明我们非常幸运，在短短两小时内就发现了两种哺乳动物、一种鸮和一种夜鹰。

尽管这种鸮的叫声很响亮，但它们非常害羞，在森林小径中很难看清。不过由于大家的努力，除了其中一人外，所有人都在不同的位置成功拍摄到了它的照片。大家辛苦了。

6. White-breasted Wood-Wren, 白胸林鹩, 白胸林鷦鷯, Henicorhina leucosticta, ムナジロモリミソサザイ

update 202601

It was a freezing morning at around –6°C. We went to Napa Lake mainly to revisit some good memories from years ago. After waiting for a beautiful sunrise, I was almost ready to return to the car when I suddenly heard a bird calling very close by. The bird stayed low to the ground, barely moving—likely due to the cold—with ice clearly visible around it.

I managed to capture some close shots, and that moment became the happiest highlight of this casual, relaxing trip to Yunnan.

清晨气温低至约零下 6°C。这次只是来到纳帕海，重温多年前到访时的美好回忆。看完日出后，正准备返回车上时，突然听到附近传来鸟叫声。那只鸟几乎贴近地面，一动不动，应该是因为天气太冷，周围还能看到结冰的痕迹。

能够近距离拍到它，成了这趟云南轻松休闲之旅中最开心、最难忘的时刻。

7. Sunbittern, 日鳽, 日鳽, Eurypyga helias, ジャノメドリ

update 202603

This bird was one of our trip’s main targets! We initially found one on its nest, but everyone was hoping to see its famous wing display. We decided to spend some extra time searching, and luckily, it didn’t take long to find another one. It put on a spectacular show, spreading its beautiful wings for us several times.

这是我们此次行程的主要目标之一。起初我们发现了一只正在筑巢的日鳽(Sunbittern)，但大家都想亲眼目睹它展翅的姿态。于是我们在观察完巢穴后决定多花些时间寻找另一只。非常幸运，没过多久我们就遇到了另一只，它还配合地连续展示了几轮那美丽的双翼。

8. Resplendent Quetzal, 凤尾绿咬鹃, 鳳尾綠咬鵑, Pharomachrus mocinno, カザリキヌバネドリ

update 202603

This was another primary target of our tour. We successfully located the bird on our first attempt in the evening, securing fantastic views and photos. Despite the initial success, the group wanted to visit a second site, which provided even better photographic opportunities for this spectacular species. With 8 days remaining, our photo count has reached 308 species, with many more to come.

这是本次行程的另一个主要目标。傍晚时分，我们第一次尝试就成功发现了它，并获得了极佳的观察视角和照片。但大家还是想去第二个地点看看，在那里我们为这种长相惊艳的鸟拍摄到了更完美的照片。行程还剩8天，目前我们已经拍摄到了308种鸟类，精彩仍在继续。

9. Boat-billed Heron, 船嘴鹭, 船嘴鷺, Cochlearius cochlearius, ヒロハシサギ

update 202603

Day 13, we photographed 351 species of bird and managed to have some very excited targets and few more days to go ..

it is one of very special look target of ours Costa Rica 2026 Birding our, we didn’t find one at first location and managed to got this bird at 2nd location almost immediate we start ours river cruise. Such a special look bird ..

哥斯达黎加2026观鸟之旅第13天，我们已经拍摄到了351种鸟类！我们成功记录到了几个令人兴奋的目标鸟种，行程还剩最后几天。

其中一个是我们重点寻找、长相非常独特的鸟种。我们在第一个地点没有找到它，但在第二个地点的河流巡游刚开始时就立刻发现了它。这真是一种长相奇特的鸟类。

10. White-collared Manakin, 白头娇鹟, 白領侏儒鳥, Manacus candei, ムナジロマイコドリ

update 202604

This is the second Manakin species we have encountered, and watching its display was truly amazing. While we didn’t manage to record a video of the performance this time, we will try to share its unique calls and movements with you in the near future.

这是我们遇到的第二种娇鹟，能亲眼目睹它的求偶场展示真的很神奇。虽然这次没能录下展示过程的视频，但我们近期会努力为大家展示它独特的鸣叫声和动作。

11. Sungrebe, 日鷉, 日鷉, Heliornis fulica, アメリカヒレアシ

update 202604

This species was one of our main targets. Although we couldn’t get close, it was a joy to watch it swimming around the same area for quite a while. It is a wonderful bird, though I truly hope to see it perched in the future.

With four days remaining, our count is currently at 360 species photograph. Everyone is feeling the exhaustion from the constant rain and trekking. I hope we all stay strong and healthy to push through these final four days.

这是我们的目标物种之一。虽然无法靠近，但能看到它在同一区域游动多时，已经非常开心了。这种拟鸬鹚真的很奇妙，但真心希望未来能有机会看到它栖息在枝头的样子。

行程还剩四天，目前的记录停留在360种。连日的降雨和徒步让大家都感到疲惫，希望大家都能保持体力和健康，顺利完成最后四天的行程。

12. Black-crested Coquette, 黑冠蜂鸟, 黑冠蜂鳥, Lophornis helenae, クロツノユウジョハチドリ

update 202604

Our Costa Rica trip is almost at its end, and we have photographed 34 species of hummingbirds. This particular bird made everyone very excited. We had hoped it would perch for a clear shot, but it only allowed us to capture it in flight. Our current count stands at 375 species photographed, with about 10 more seen but not caught on camera. Today is our final opportunity to add new species to our list, and we are hoping for the best.

我们的哥斯达黎加之旅即将结束，目前已经拍摄到了34种蜂鸟。这一种蜂鸟让大家都感到非常兴奋。我们原本一直希望它能停栖下来让我们拍摄，但它最终只让我们捕捉到了飞行的画面。我们目前拍摄到的鸟类总数为375种（另有约10种仅记录到目击，未留下照片）。今天是增加新纪录的最后一天，希望能有更多收获。

13. Crested Owl, 冠鸮, 冠鴞, Lophostrix cristata, カンムリズク

update 202604

We photographed nine owl species during this trip, and this pair was one of the easiest encounters — we had them almost immediately upon reaching the location. A local guide led us straight to the tree; he is also a talented local artist with an impressive collection of wildlife photographs and artworks available for sale.

We are now on the way back, rushing to the forests of Malaysia for another assignment. There may not be many opportunities to share photos from this trip, but I will try my best to post a few special highlights.

这次行程我们共拍摄到9种猫头鹰，其中这一对是最容易观察到的之一，几乎一到达地点就顺利见到。当地一位向导直接带我们到它们栖息的树下，他同时也是一位优秀的本地艺术家，拥有不少精彩的野生动物摄影作品，并且也有艺术作品出售。

我们现在正赶回途中，准备前往马来西亚的森林进行下一项拍摄任务。这趟行程可能没有太多时间分享照片，但我会尽量挑选一些特别的作品与大家分享。

14. Keel-billed Toucan, 厚嘴巨嘴鸟, 隆嘴鵎鵼, Ramphastos sulfuratus, サンショクキムネオオハシ

update 202604

This bird keeps its distance from us. While there are one or two spots where Toucans visit feeders, the presence of bananas and papayas in the frame often makes the photos look unnatural. Because of this, most of us struggled to get a good shot until the last few days when this bird finally came down low for us at the forest edge. It was such an excitement for everyone to see this beautiful creature. Most importantly, thank you to everyone for prioritizing the bird’s well-being over the photo. You guys are the best.

巨嘴鸟通常与我们保持距离。虽然有一两个点会有巨嘴鸟飞到喂食点，但照片里出现的香蕉和木瓜会让画面显得有些违和，所以大多数人一直没能拍到理想的照片。直到最后几天，包括这只鸟在内的巨嘴鸟终于在森林边缘低飞靠近我们，大家能近距离看到这种美丽的鸟类都非常兴奋。最后，感谢大家对鸟类的爱护胜过对拍照的追求，你们是最棒的。

15. Three-wattled Bellbird, 肉垂钟伞鸟, 肉垂鐘雀, Procnias tricarunculatus, ヒゲドリ

update 202605

Time has flown by, and it has already been a month since I returned from Costa Rica. I am currently on my third birding tour without any rest. April has been a whirlwind, taking me from Costa Rica to Borneo, back to Peninsular Malaysia, and now back to Borneo again. The absolute highlight of April 2026 was encountering this bird just 2-3 meters away at eye level. Watching it sing for a full minute and perform its display was truly the best moment of the month.

时间飞逝，从哥斯达黎加回来已经一个月了，现在正马不停蹄地进行第三场观鸟之旅。整个四月，我的足迹从哥斯达黎加到婆罗洲，再回到马来西亚半岛，现在又回到了婆罗洲。2026年四月最美好的时刻，莫过于在两三米开外的平视距离偶遇这只鸟。看着它持续鸣唱了一分钟并进行展示，这绝对是本月最难忘的瞬间。

#####

update 202604

This is a bird that sits at the top of everyone’s bucket list, but upon our arrival in Costa Rica, the local guides informed us they weren’t active. We had nearly given up hope and put this strange-looking species out of our minds. However, as we neared the site, we received an update that they were active again. We decided to take a chance. To our absolute surprise, after only a short walk, we found them. The view improved from twenty meters overhead to an incredible eye-level encounter just two meters away. It was the amazing feeling of a lost opportunity turned into a found treasure.

这是每个人都想看到的鸟，但当我们抵达哥斯达黎加时，当地导游告诉我们它们并不活跃。大家几乎都放弃了，也快忘了这只长相奇特的鸟。但当我们靠近该地点时，当地导游收到更新说它们开始活动了。我们决定试一试。令人惊喜的是，我们只走了很短的一段路就见到了它，甚至最终从头顶上方20米处移动到了2米开外的平视距离。这种失而复得的感觉真好。

16. Spectacled Owl, 眼镜鸮, 眼鏡鴞, Pulsatrix perspicillata, メガネフクロウ

update 202604

The rain was closing in, so we rushed to see this bird immediately after spotting the Crested Owl. Luck was on our side as we found another pair roosting together. We managed to see our Potoo right after this, just before the rain started. What an incredible day for everyone.

大雨将至，我们在看完冠鸮后立即赶往这里。运气很好，我们又见到了一对正在栖息的眼镜鸮。接着我们又看到了林鸱，随后大雨便落了下来。对大家来说，这真是完美的一天。

17. Collared Forest-Falcon, 领林隼, 領林隼, Micrastur semitorquatus, クビワモリハヤブサ

update 202604

This is a truly unique falcon. It has a very fixed routine when leaving its nest. We visited twice, and it followed the exact same method and path both times. It is absolutely amazing to see. This was my first time learning that falcons can nest in tree holes.

这是一只长相奇特的隼。它出巢的路线非常固定。我们去了两次，它都以同样的方式和路径出现。真是太神奇了。这也是我第一次知道隼会在树洞里筑巢。

18. Great Tinamou, 大䳍, 大共鳥, Tinamus major, オオシギダチョウ

update 202604

While some birders prefer solo outings, birding in a group can be a major advantage. While we were all focused on photographing a Great Curassow in the dense forest, Xin Hui spotted a smaller bird that everyone else had overlooked. Once I finished with the Curassow, I quickly helped the group locate this elusive find. It was such a thrill to hear everyone shouting “Where? There!” in excitement. Although this species is rarely seen, it wasn’t shy at all, moving slowly even with nine of us standing just a few meters away. Having fun companions really makes the experience.

虽然有些鸟友喜欢独自观鸟，但在某些情况下，团体观鸟其实大有优势。当时我们所有人都在茂密的森林里忙着拍摄大凤冠雉，欣卉却发现了一只被大家忽略的“小”鸟。在我拍完大凤冠雉后，立刻帮大家寻找这只鸟。大家兴奋地喊着“在哪？在那！”场面非常有趣。这种鸟虽然难得一见，但它一点也不怕人，即使我们九个人就在它面前几米处，它依然慢悠悠地移动。和有趣的鸟友一起观鸟真是太好玩了。

19. Yellow-throated Toucan, 黑嘴巨嘴鸟, 黃喉鵎鵼, Ramphastos ambiguus, ニショクキムネオオハシ

update 202604

After a wonderful morning, we skipped our rest to keep the momentum going. Our local guide, Raul, took us for some easier birding along a flat grassland trail. We were lucky enough to witness a Tropical Kingbird chasing a Gray Hawk, and we also spotted this stunning Yellow-throated Toucan. It was truly a fantastic moment.

在一个美好的早晨之后，我们没有片刻休息。我们的当地导游 Raul 决定带我们去进行一次比较轻松的观鸟活动，就在平坦的草地附近步行。我们看到了热带王霸鹟追逐灰鹰，还看到了这只黄喉巨嘴鸟。真是太棒的时刻了。

20. Red-capped Manakin, 红顶娇鹟, 紅頂侏儒鳥, Ceratopipra mentalis, キモモマイコドリ

update 202604

This bird was at the top of my wish list, especially because I wanted to see its famous moonwalk display. We were fortunate to witness it at eye level in a pristine environment. Although we were at an excellent feeding station with great opportunities to photograph owls, toucans, and other species, we chose to skip those to focus on this Manakin. While we were on the jungle trail, heavy rain forced us to stop and wait in silence. Fortunately, the rain ceased after about ten minutes, and we immediately heard the bird calling from the exact spot where we had taken shelter. Shortly after, Raul signaled us over, and there it was. We had an incredible session capturing both video and photos of this amazing creature.

这是我最想见到的鸟类之一，特别是想亲眼目睹它那如“太空步”般的求偶舞。我们非常幸运，能在视线平行的干净环境下看到这一幕。尽管我们当时身处一个非常好的食槽点，有机会拍摄到猫头鹰、巨嘴鸟和其他鸟类，但为了这只红顶雀鹟，我们还是决定放弃那些机会。当我们走在丛林小径时，一场大雨迫使我们停下脚步，大家安静地等待着。感谢上天，雨在大约十分钟后停了。很快，我们就听到那只鸟在雨停的地方鸣叫。没过多久，Raul就叫我们过去，果然成功了！我们在这只可爱而神奇的鸟儿面前度过了一段美好的时光，拍到了很多照片和视频。

21. Baird’s Trogon, 拜氏美洲咬鹃, 貝爾德氏美洲咬鵑, Trogon bairdii, パナマハグロキヌバネドリ

update 202604

We photographed seven species of trogons at eye level and at close range during our birding trip in Costa Rica. It was truly incredible how each individual bird approached us and stayed long enough for everyone to get a great look. This particular bird was one of three trogons we captured in a single morning, making for a fantastic second day of our trip.

我们在哥斯达黎加观鸟之旅中，近距离且平视地拍摄到了七种咬鹃。令人惊叹的是，每一只鸟都离我们非常近，并且停留了很久，让每个人都能尽情欣赏。这张照片中的咬鹃是我们仅在一个上午就拍摄到的三种咬鹃之一，这让我们在那里的第二天观鸟行程变得非常精彩。

22. Montezuma Oropendola, 褐拟椋鸟, 褐色擬椋鳥, オオツリスドリ

update 202604

When we first spotted this bird high in the canopy, everyone captured hundreds of photos of this common yet stunning species. After a few days, however, most people lost interest regardless of how well it posed or how perfect the lighting was. I still make sure to capture it whenever a photo opportunity arises.

我们在冠层顶部第一次见到这种鸟时，每个人都为这种虽常见但极美的鸟拍了几百张照片。但几天后，这鸟变得无人问津，哪怕它站姿再好、光影再美。只要有机会，我依然会坚持为它拍照。

23. Long-tailed Silky-flycatcher, 长尾丝鹟, 長尾絲鶲, Ptiliogonys caudatus, オナガレンジャクモドキ

update 202604

This is one of the bird families we have been hoping to see and photograph. We were fortunate to have several close encounters with them in the open, giving us wonderful opportunities for photos.

这是我们到哥斯达黎加希望看到并拍摄的鸟类科属之一。我们很幸运有几次机会能在开阔地近距离观察它们，拍到了很棒的照片。

24. Acorn Woodpecker, 橡树啄木鸟, 橡樹啄木, Melanerpes formicivorus, ドングリキツツキ

update 202604

Today is Woodpecker Day. This is one of the 12 woodpecker species we photographed during our March 2026 bird photography trip to Costa Rica. Most of them were quite easy to spot, especially this one, which visited several feeding stations. It is truly another beautiful bird.

今天是啄木鸟日。这是我们2026年3月哥斯达黎加观鸟摄影之旅拍摄到的12种啄木鸟之一。其中大多数都很容易见到，尤其是这一种，它光顾了好几个喂食点，依然是一只美丽的鸟类。

25. Common Potoo, 林鸱, 灰林鴟, Nyctibius griseus, ハイイロタチヨタカ

update 202604

It is a very special bird that we have been eager to see and photograph. We were fortunate to have a great team that helped us find it right by the roadside. It is such an adorable bird, sitting there with its egg out in the open.

这是我们非常希望能目睹并拍摄的一种特别鸟类。很庆幸拥有一个优秀的团队，让我们在路边就发现了它。这只鸟太可爱了，就这样带着蛋待在那里。

26. Bay-headed Tanager, 栗头唐加拉雀, 栗頭唐加拉雀, Tangara gyrola, チャガシラフウキンチョウ

update 20260508

The Tanager family is truly remarkable. No matter where we travel, we encounter these birds, and most of them—like this one—are breathtakingly beautiful. The variety of colors on this bird is simply incredible.

唐纳雀科是一个非常特别的鸟类家族。无论我们走到哪里，都能看到唐纳雀的身影，而且其中大多数都像这只一样美丽动人。这只鸟身上的色彩真是丰富多彩。

27. Northern Barred-Woodcreeper, 北斑䴕雀, 北方橫斑爬木雀, Dendrocolaptes sanctithomae, キタヨコジマオニキバシリ

update 202605

We were incredibly fortunate to photograph three different species at a single location, all at a great distance and eye level. One of them was a fascinating bird that looks like a cross between a nuthatch and a woodpecker. This particular species is one of the larger ones; usually, after the first sighting, they tend to stay high in the canopy and far away from us. We feel very lucky to have captured it at such a perfect level and close range this time.

我们非常幸运能在同一个地点以极佳的距离和高度拍摄到三种鸟类。其中一种鸟看起来像是䴓和啄木鸟的结合体。这是体型较大的品种之一，通常在第一次露面后，它们总是停在高处且远离我们。这次能在这个高度和近距离拍到它，真的非常幸运。

Adults have a black crown and back with the remainder of the body white or grey, red eyes, and short yellow legs. They have pale grey wings and white under parts. Two or three long white plumes, erected in greeting and courtship displays, extend from the back of the head. The sexes are similar in appearance although the males are slightly larger. Black-crowned night herons do not fit the typical body form of the heron family. They are relatively stocky with shorter bills, legs, and necks than their more familiar cousins, the egrets and “day” herons. Their resting posture is normally somewhat hunched but when hunting they extend their necks and look more like other wading birds.

Immature birds have dull grey-brown plumage on their heads, wings, and backs, with numerous pale spots. Their underparts are paler and streaked with brown. The young birds have orange eyes and duller yellowish-green legs. They are very noisy birds in their nesting colonies, with calls that are commonly transcribed as quok or woc.
