2/13
Continental Breakfast followed by 3 1/2 hour nature walk concentrating on birds and trees. Carlino is master of wildlife and carries cell phone with bird call app to attract birds. Overcast makes it difficult to spot wildlife. Did see some colorful birds and the raccoon like animal crossing the road which was extremely muddy and red. Returned for coffee and to our cabin to shower and try to wash out red clay. Vegetarian lunch and fruit cup. Back to cabin for nap.
Lecture on hummingbirds by botanist Guy. Downpour kept us from tour of hummingbird garden. Demonstration of how to make mate tea and reveiro. Lots of patience required. Charlie gave history of the building of the lodge. Toured the hummingbird garden where study is done on type of birds and food habits.
