Walking the lodge trails yesterday we have started to see mixed flocks, this shows that the end of the breeding season is almost upon us. Whilst walking the Extension Trail we encountered a small mixed flock that included Olivaceous Woodcreeper, White-throated Woodcreeper, White-shouldered Fire-eye, both Plain and Spot-breasted Antvireos, Yellow-backed Tanager, Flame -crested Tanager and Red-necked Tanager. Other sightings included Eye-ringed Tody-Tyrant, Black-cheeked Gnateater, Blue-bellied Parrot and both Pin-tailed and Blue Manakins. There has been a large ant swarm on the circular trail over the past week, this has given good opportunities to see White-shouldered Fire-eye, White-eyed Foliage Gleaner, Red-crowned Ant Tanagers, Plain-winged Woodcreeper and Tawny-throated Leaftosser.

Sightings on the Cedae Trail have included Black-hawk Eagle, Reddish-bellied and Plain Parakeets, Ferruginous Antbird, Rufous-capped Motmot, White-eyed and Buff-fronted Foliage Gleaners. Blue Manakin on the Extension Trail by Cristina Foster©
