Anne, I have not personally done a birding tour in Costa Rica, but I have
(as amateur) casually done birding in Panama.
There are some good bookstores in C.A., with field guides that are not
easily available here, so I'd suggest taking a look there too!

I have read Ken Kaufman's book on his birding adventures and know that he
works at times with Victor Emanuel Nature Tours.

Another idea besides a birding tour is a ecotour. A retired professor of
mine helped found and is involved with the Organization for Tropical
Studies.
In addition to tropical research, they offer biology field camps in Costa
Rica.

Good luck! Virginia
