Today, I set off at 4:30am to walk down to an altitude of 1000 metres. A
Common Pauraque showed well beside the track on the way down, and a
White-throated Thrush was seen just after sunrise in the same tree as a pair of
Smoky-brown Woodpeckers. A female
Cooper's Hawk flew close overhead and at least two
Costa Rican Swifts were flying around, giving good views against the opposite side of the valley. A
White-breasted Wood-wren also called and showed well on a rocky cliff.

| Common Pauraque - this one allowed for a close approach to be photographed with the aid of my headlight. |

| White-throated Thrush |

| Blue-crowned Motmot - one of the best looking species in Costa Rica. Motmots are generally seen daily in the Cloudbridge area. |
