And maybe go here too (a lake with Torrent Tyrannulets):
But will be leaving here (and the internet) for a week:
By the 17th, not only will I be older, but I will have a NEW NEW NEW lens!

Man can
Saw my first trogans of the trip, Slaty-tailed, along with a pair of Blue Dacnis, and White-flanked Antwrens
We're still trying to figure Amanda's new macro lens...it worked great for some birds, like this Spotted Woodcreeper:
But all of the Red-capped Manakin pictures turned out a bit like this one, very bright and looking photo edited to hell, though I still like it. It was pretty bright where we were shooting, but maybe there's some odd quality to those fluorescent red feathers that make then particularly hard to capture...
More natural looking with the point and shoot:

Aero
Went banding with Amanda and Charlotte today near the Tortuguero airport which has one flight in everyday for those spendy tourists, but may be flying in banders at some point in the future, cutting out the 6 hours of travel to get here.
The boat ride to the site was much nicer today, with no rain then or the rest of the day. Though only 11 birds and four species, the birds are obviously still mind blowing.
Clay-colored Robin
Rufous-tailed Hummingbird
White-collared Manakins:
Carrots for legs
A pair caught together
Prothonotary Warbler
Our banding station, with the beach in the sun
The beach, two feet from the station, where we do migration counts on the odd hour
Ah yes, and this

Tortuguero tomorrow
We're staying at the InBio Park dorms tonight and heading to Tortuguero tomorrow for about a week, probably starting up banding on Tuesday!
Three-toed sloths, looking cute?
