Additionally, the Hoffmann's Woodpecker
(Melanerpes hoffmannii) is unique in being
the only dry forest species endemic to the region
, it's range extends from southern Honduras to central
Costa Rica.
And then there's the Three-wattled Bellbird
(Procnias tricarunculata) that breeds in the
highlands and wanders widely throughout the lowlands
after the breeding season—a bird radio-tagged in Monteverde,
Costa Rica was even located in eastern Honduras!—and
so does not easily fit in any one of the above geographical
divisions.
All in all, fully 10% of Costa Rica's
avifauna is restricted to very limited ranges within
the southern half of the Central American isthmus,
which is an exceptionally high rate of endemism, even
for the neotropics.
