| Lancolated Monklet |
 |
| Hauxwell’s Thrush |
 |
| Booted Racquet-tail |
Hummingbirds at this elevation were quite regular, and one of the prizes were the few Booted Racquet-tails that preferred to stay on the forest edge.
 |
| Breakfast along the Manu Road |
A welcome stop for pancakes and ham was no less bird-filled. No one had time to sit as we kept hearing and seeing so much!
 |
| Crested Quetzal |
We eventually heard one of our hoped for targets… the Crested Quetzal. It was pretty far down the mountainside, but we were patient and first a female showed herself… then the male (above) joined her!
 |
| Cinnamon Flycatcher |
Cinnamon Flycatchers were quite common along the road at the upper elevations. Their buzzy call attracting our looks as we walked, a few posed well for the camera!
 |
| Smoke-colored Peewee |
As we began our return down the mountain toward the lodge, we noticed a distant Smoke-colored Peewee. As we watched through our binoculars, it flew into a closer branch… and into a nest!
