But we still got a very impressive number of species, including a Bat Falcon, Wood Thrush, Rufous-tailed Hummingbird, Keel-billed Toucan, Western Slaty Antshrike, Olivaceous Woodcreeper and Red-legged Honeycreeper.
After breakfast we tried some birding but the rain was hard enough that most everything but the Oscellated Turkeys were hunkered down. We did a little better in the afternoon, climbing up on the mounds to get us into the middle story of the jungle. It might be a bit sacreligious, but it's better birding. We had very nice views of a Masked Tityra, Squirrel Cuckoo, a Blackheaded Saltator and a flock of Emerald Toucanets.
The rain let up a little bit in the late afternoon. Maybe better conditions tomorrow?
