The sights on the drive to the Lodge were really interesting. This is crossing the bridge over the canal that was featured in an earlier photo.
The Lodge was lovely!
The grounds were really beautiful with a lot of bird (and bird breeding/nesting) life.
Our balcony.
Dave chased the Crimson-Backed Tanager all trip. It was a super challenging bird due to his colors, but also because the canopy is dark! It is said that only 5% of light gets through the canopy. I believe it.
A pair of Tropical Screech Owls. Cool find!
Spectacled Owl. Another really fun find.
The Chestnut-Headed Oropendolas were fascinating. Not only are the really wild looking birds, but their colonies of pendulum nests were quite entertaining. Not only were the Oropendolas hanging at the colonies, but so were several parasitic birds looking for any opportunity to drop an egg in an unsuspecting bird's nest!
Keel-Billed Toucans were also in this environment. We'd hoped to see an Emerald Toucanet, but were shut down on that bird.
Another KB Toucan
Nice portrait of a Chestnut-Backed Oropendola.
A pair of Tody Flycathers building the most beautiful nest. Check out how wide those little bird's bill are!
Yellow-Faced Grassquit bathing. And singing. Of course.
We saw many Orange-Bellied Trogon.
Spot-Crowned Antvireo
Part V, and and final installment next! At least until next time. :)
