| Festive Coquette |
The afternoon brought an invitation from the lodge manager to be the first to visit a new project about 30 minutes upstream. Recently acquired land was already planted with many hummingbird attracting plants, and they were working on turning it into a hummingbird garden for their visitors.
Upon arrival we were greeted with two new hummers for our list… the Festive Coquette (pictured above) and White-chinned Sapphire!
Many butterflies were attracted tot he flowers as well, like this Oleria sp. and the Lasaia agesilas below.

| Monk Saki |
Our highlight for the afternoon was most certainly the pair of Monk Saki monkeys that ate slowly from a branch above the trail. We watched and photographed them for quite a while!
