. Bulletin of the British Ornithologists' Club. Claudia Munera-Rolddn et al. 153 Bull. 2007 127(2). Figure 1. Location of the study site in Nicaragua; note the distance from La Selva Biological Station, Costa Rica. observations of Nicaraguan birds, including several species previously unrecorded in the country, together with notes on latitudinal and altitudinal range extensions for several others within the country. Study site The rio San Juan flows from the south-east end of Lake Nicaragua, the largest freshwater body in Central America, and its lower reaches serve as the border between Costa Rica and Nicaragua, until the river reaches the Caribbean. The observations reported here were made at Refugio Bartola, a lodge at the confluence of the rios Bartola and San Juan (10''57'N, 84°19'W), adjacent to the Indio Maiz Biological Reserve (IMBR) in Nicaragua, with some additional observations at the Rio San Juan Wildlife Refiige and from within the IMBR (Fig. 1). Near the confluence of these rivers, elevations are 30-100 m and vegetation is typically evergreen tropical wet forest of the Caribbean lowlands, with an annual precipitation of 4,000-6,000 mm , making it one of the wettest parts of Central America (Campbell & Lamar 1989, Incer 1979 in Martinez-Sanchez 1990). The dry season extends from February to April and the greatest precipitation falls in December-January (Cody 2000a). Topography is characterised by somewhat hilly.
