| Abstract: | I document the first nesting record of the Jabiru (Jabiru mycteria) in "Los Guatuzos" forest floodplain, Alajuela province, Costa Rica. The active nest was located in March 1995 at 10°49'23.70"N and 84°47'23.20"W. The nest was 16 m high in a 23 m high silk-cotton tree (Ceiba pentandra) and contained three chicks. The zone is not protected and active lumbering is underway. /// Documento el primer registro de anidación del Jabirú (Jabiru mycteria) para la Llanura de Los Guatuzos, provincia de Alajuela, Costa Rica.
