I'm going to be near Carara Preserve in Costa Rica for a weekend soon, and am interested in as much detail about birding that area as possible, including information about:
Guides - suggestions for well-qualified guides who know the area and its birds;
Other - suggestions about travel tips for the area, safety issues, etc.
Any help would be appreciated. I have the Skutch field guide and will soon receive the birding location guide. I have the Cornell CD of birdsong for Costa Rica (yes, I know, it covers mainly the Carribbean slope) and am making a strong effort to be as prepared bird-wise as possible. What I'd like to hear about involves the on-the-ground logistics of birding Carara and vicinity. I'll be on my own and would like to avoid unpleasant surprises.
