We will be holding the Annual Meeting of the San Vito Bird Club on Sunday, February 25th at the Cascatas del Bosque. This year is a celebration to mark the 20th anniversary of the Club! To celebrate this landmark the food and coffee will be free for everyone! More details about the meeting will be forthcoming. We have also simplified our dues. There is now only one price for Resident and International members:

$30 or 15.000 colones for an Individual

$50 or 25.000 colones for a Family

Remember that the meeting is open to members only.

Dues are payable at the door the day of the meeting. If you would like to pay in advance in by PayPal please use this LINK. You can also pay by SINPE móvil to Peter’s number in colones only. Just send an email to vp@sanvitobirdclub.org if you don’t have the number. I don’t want to post it on a public website.

Please let us know if you are planning to attend by filling out THIS form. We really need to know how many people will be coming so we can plan the food accordingly.

We hope to see you there!

THERE WILL BE NO BIRD WALK THIS WEEKEND! We are slaving away on preparations for the Annual Meeting 🙂

We failed miserably to reach 45 species last Sunday. The shame is so overwhelming that we have decided to try again this week so we can put it all behind us. Sooo, let’s meet again at 7 AM at the Wilson Botanical Garden Reception. All eyes and ears are needed. (Seriously, we don’t care about the count. Just come and have fun!)

Sufrimos un fracaso total la semana pasada. Apenas vimos algunas 30 y pico especies. La vergüenza es tal que decidimos intentar otra vez esta semana para quitar la memoria del cerebro. Pues, reuniremos este domingo a las 7 a la Recepción del jardín botánico Wilson. ¡Ocupamos todos los ojos y ooids posibles, evidentemente! (La verdad es que estamos muy tranquilos respecto al conteo. ¡Venga y disfrute el día, no más!)

So, two weeks ago we counted 38 species. Last week we saw 41. This week we’re shooting for 45. Be there or be…not there. Please join us a 7 AM this Sunday at the Reception of the Wilson Botanical Garden and we’ll see what we see.

Hace 2 semanas vimos 38 especies. La semana pasada fueron 41. ¡Este domingo ocupamos ver 45! Si quiere ayudar venga al jardín botánico Wilson a las 7. Reuniremos a la recepción. ¡Nos vemos entonces, ojalá!

Since last week was so popular, we’ve decided to do it again! Please join us at the Wilson Botanical Gardens this Sunday for a Bird Walk. We’ll meet at the reception at 7 AM and there will be binoculars! Let’s see if we can beat last week’s 38 species.

Porque la semana pasada fue un éxito enorme, ¡decidimos hacerlo otra vez! Habrá otra caminata para ver aves este doming al jardín botánico Wilson. Nos reuniremos a las 7 a la recepción y tendré los binoculares listos…ojalá. Intentaremos sobrepasar las 38 especies que hemos visto el domingo pasado.

So I lied. There will be another bird walk this year! We’ll meet this Sunday at 7AM at the WBG reception to bid goodbye to 2023 and say hello to Swallow-tailed Kites who just got back. I hope to see you there!

Pues, yo mentí. Habrá otra caminata este año. Reuniremos este domingo a las 7 AM al recepción del jardín botánico Wilson para despedir al año 2023 y saludar a los Gavilanes Tijeras que acaban de volver al país. ¡Espero verles allá!

Please join us for the last bird walk of 2023 this Sunday at the Wilson Botanical Gardens. We’ll meet at the Reception at 7 AM and, hopefully, see lots of birdies if we can keep from talking up a storm. There will be binoculars available as always.

Por favor venga al jardín botánico Wilson este domingo para la última caminata del año. Nos reunimos al la Recepción a las 7 AM. Esperamos ver un montón de aves si podríamos dejar de platicar de vez en cuando… Habrá binoculares disponibles como siempre.

Please join us for a post Turkey Day bird walk this Sunday at the Wilson Botanical Gardens. We’ll meet at the Reception at 7 AM to celebrate the fact that the nearest mall or “Big Box” store is at least 200 kms away by enjoying the, hopefully, beautiful morning looking for birds. See you there!

Por favor venga este domingo al jardín botánico Wilson para una caminata para ver aves. Reuniremos a la recepción a las 7 para celebrar el hecho que el mall mas cerca está muy lejos por disfrutar del clima muy bonito y las aves aun más bonitas, ojalá. ¡Nos vemos entonces!

Please join us for a Bird Walk at the Wilson Botanical Garden (aka the OTS Las Cruces Biological Station) this Sunday, November 5, at 7:00 am.

We will meet at the Reception Building and have binoculars and field guides to share. As always, the Walk is free and open to the public so bring your friends and neighbors!

We will walk for about an hour after which we will have coffee in the dining room.

Maybe we will see a Common Tody-Flycatcher!

Or one of these tail-bobbing migrants………….you never know!

Time for an SVBC Bird Walk at the Wilson Botanical Garden, aka Las Cruces Biological Station.
