Up at 5:50 AM and breakfast at 6:15 AM for an early morning bird
walk. We boarded the skiffs early and landed at a Biological
Research camp. Our guide was Karen on a small bird walking tour.
We climbed up the hill and once in a garden type area of the
camp Libbie spotted a Blue Macaw but we couldn't get the
spotting scope on him. Walking into the woods we came across
some smaller birds and then a rare mammal that looked like a pig
that was called a Tapir. When we got further back into the
woods we came to a waterfall. Above us were spider monkeys that
were remarkably agile in how they moved from tree to tree. At
one point they were throwing branches down at us from above. On
the way out we saw a baby spider monkey who was cute. it sat
in the tree and played hide and seek with us. We also saw a
Toucan with a yellow bill. He was beautiful. In the afternoon
I canceled my beach time and instead sat upstairs in the sun
area and drank 2 martinis, two distinctly different drinks. One
by jesus hardly had any Vermouth while the one by Danielle ahd
the normal amount of Vermouth and tasted much better to me.
Dinner tonight was surf and turf. I had a ribeye steak along
with a nice fish I couldn't remember the name of. After dinner
Karen gave a talk about the Ossa Bird Center that she is a
director of.
