Brian Morin: That's a great problem to have.
Chris: Managed to cover about 2 of the 6 stops/mornings so far. Trying to do everything a bit quicker while things are fresh. It was a mental and physical workout everyday…but had the luck of being with Sue and Ahmad, who helped immensely.

One of great advancements in birding has been via Merlin - where even high up, far away in the canopy you can have an idea what is calling with the sound recordings. Las Cotingas Reserve.

At the Milpe Reserve - only chance to photograph this species up close, as all other encounters were with birds high up in trees

Brian Morin: An opportunity worth waiting for. Nice profile.
Chris: It was a great way to start the day. The reserve has a great bit of ingenuity in that a blind of sorts with a light is setup to attract insects, which in turn brings in insect-eating birds.
