birding on continental divide and lower(to 400 m) 29th of November 2013

It was a good day , early out of bed and off we went.
Rain, sun, wind, clouds..we did see it all.
A day of patience and nice rewards.
Unfortunately my SD card from my camera was full(aiii, no spare with me) I could take so much nice pictures today of pretty birds!! A very nice chestnut mandibled Toucan was doing a nice show for us a few meters  in front of us. Lifer and the bird for me of the day...red capped Manakin.
