A Purplish Jacamar was perch hunting from the guy-wires partway down the tower. We also found Dusky-throated Antshrike and Wire-tailed Manakin on the way down. The walk back to the lake was quite dark inside the rainforest, like twilight. When we reached the open area at the lake we found that it was still light. Today's totals were 88 species including 19 lifers, making a grand total of 169 bird species including 100 lifers. More
