    Costa Rica in July?

    It seems that most birdwatchers visit Costa Rica in December-April, but I am forced to travel in July due to work. Is that an impossible month for birdwatching? Is there any parts of the country, that I should avoid (or the opposite) during the summer? Regards, Niels Kristian

    Hi. I would like a 12x to supplement my Zeiss Conquest HD 8x32 for long distance viewing over larger lakes or the sea. I do not like to cary a scope when the backpack is filled with camera equipment. ;) I have narrowed the choice down to either the Kowa SV 12x50 or the Nikon Monarch 5 12x42...
