Hola! from Bird Megan
Well a lot has happened since we all arrived in Costa Rica. It was sad to leave Carara National Park yesterday but i am ready to see more of Costa Rica and see what Sirena has in store for us. It was exciting to see all of the animals of Carara up close and personal. On Friday a Group of white faced Capuchin monkeys came to eat the mangos out of our tree. They seem more concerned about getting the mangos then the crowd of people taking pictures of them.
The bird team finished all three recordings, after changing many variables, at Carara as well. We also got to go bird watching with an expert bird guide. Now we can identify some of the birds we recorded, although it's going to take so more practice for me. It will be nice not to wake up at 5 in the morning for a change... at least until we are in Sirena.
Yesterday we spent the fourth of July at the Monteverde Cloud Forest. We enjoyed pizza for dinner and hot showers. Today while hiking with a guide my group got pooped on by a Guan, a Costa Rican flying turkey. Jason got the most, his shirt must be very unlucky.
We are now back in San Jose and will be attending the University of Peace for the next too days. Until next blog, Hi to everyone back home. Its been an adventure and i am looking forward to the next ones that are sure to come.
