Collared Peccary

I've seen five species of mammal since arriving at Cloudbridge; Spider Monkey, White-faced Capuchin, Red-tailed Squirrel, Coati, and today a Collared Peccary crossed the path as I was hiking back down after a morning birding in the cloud-forest. They have been known to charge humans if they feel threatened, but this one spent a couple of minutes on the track right in front of us before disappearing into the bush again.

There's a number of active bee's nests situated in prominent positions around the reserve.

Still plenty of signs of damage after Tropical Storm Nate hit Costa Rica a couple of months ago. The bus journey over the mountains was in places restricted to one lane due to landslides and rock falls.

Yellowish Flycatcher - like on the Black-capped Flycatcher, note the post-occular bulge in the eye ring, however the general yellow plumage sets this aside as a Yellowish Flycatcher.
