| BIRD OF THE DAY - STREAK CHESTED ANT PITTA |
First part of the day was some early morning birding around our Lodge for a few nice birds.
 |
| White throated Magpie Jay |
 |
| Black headed Trogon |
 |
| Flycatcher spp - probably Dusky capped |
Straight after breakfast we went to visit Carara National Park, however we first had to stop, as apparently most do at the Crocodile River. This is not the name you understand however there is a bridge that one can walk across and be rewarded with great views of American Crocodiles.

After the crocs we visited Carara National Park, one of the best birding
locations in Costa Rica. This Park is located in the transition zone between
the Lowland Humid Forest of the South Pacific and the Deciduous Dry Forest of
the North Pacific, thus offering a unique and extremely diverse ecosystem the
is home to a great number of endemics.
