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.

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).

(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

(CRe): endemic in Costa Rica
(CRr): rare in Costa Rica
