Our guide, Wendy, Chris and Marco
We started at Asa Wright Nature Center 
click here for a few birds

 


After an encounter with flesh eating ants I took the precaution of tucking my pants into my socks, note the brown stripe between shoes and pants.  Chris & Marco survived the hike with Chris' toes exposed in water shoes, Marco with shorts.  We managed to avoid the 4 varieties on poisonous snakes.   

Asa Wright was followed by a hike through the jungle to a water fall (click here)

Chris and I stayed for a second day of beach and hiking

Manakin
(we saw a group of these doing a mating dance where the males make a clicking sound with their wings as they jump side to side.  All this to attract a female)
