681 species of birds have cumulatively been found during 27 FONT birding & nature tours in Costa Rica.
Included in those 681 species, are 493 that have been found during FONT tours in southern Costa Rica 
& adjacent western Panama, and they are listed below. 
(Some additional species have also been found in western Panama during FONT Panama tours.)    

The number, to the right of the English bird name, indicates the number of FONT tours 
during which the bird has been found (out of 27). 
Not all tours have been to the same areas, so individual tour-lists have varied.

In the following list, the latest taxonomy is incorporated noting subspecies in Costa Rica. 

Codes:

(t): a globally threatened or rare species, designated by Birdlife International
 (t1): critical
 (t2): endangered
 (t3): vulnerable
(nt): a near-threatened species globally

(i): introduced species
