Yesterday morning and this morning I did go in the morning to the same area but different microclimates.The weather was cloudy but I did kept it dry...even some sun. (1600-1900m)

  2. sorry I did not check my blog comments(too busy with the birds...)
    Too late for you ... but maybe other people will read it.
    I am not so impressed with finca Lerida, best to go is at this moment the Quetzal trail.When you like Quetzales and Bell birds and Trogons and other birds. Very early in the season and still now , just go to the Waterfall trail(former Pipeline trail)The Quetzales are there more in nesting...but still everytime when I send people there, they do see them. For you "Corkscrews", I hope it was succesfull!Again sorry for the late respond
