Tent Camp

Yesterday was Sunday  and Valentine's Day I think. We kind a hung out all day after getting up early every day for a week to go off on some sort of outing. There are amazingly no biting insects here so the only protection we have had to use is sun screen?
Today we slept in again and then headed off south along the coastal trail towards the sea turtle rescue. We were not 50 meters from camp when we found a Violicius Trogan.A beautiful medium size bird in the same family as the Quetzales.There are some many North American migrants here birds I mean. Today we had a Dusky  Flycatcher, a Wandering Tattler, Brown Pelicans, and Dark Peewees. We spotted a big patch of pink blossoms in the canopy over head and discovered they were on  an Oak tree. Another nice surprise was a colony of Leaf Cutter Ants. We followed the trail of ants to the source  and made a few videos of their work.
