Waders and shore birds on the Rio Rincon

White Ibis, Greater Yellowlegs, Snowy Egret, Killdeer: Rio Rincon, Costa Rica (near Danta Corcovado Lodge on the Osa Peninsula) — On our wagon ride up the Rincon River, as I mentioned, we crossed the river many times on the big tires of the wagon. That and driving up the stream bed and right beside the water most of the way made it seem a little like a boat rode. Where we crossed first were the river was wide and shallow and we were treated to a shore bird display. These are all birds that are common in North America, but it was good to see them in Costa Rica. All but the Greater Yellowlegs are actually resident in Costa Rica. The Yellowlegs was wintering there. Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications. Wide shot with the iPhone SE and Sirui 18mm lens.
