| Bird List |
The Lodge itself is a marvel: made of native woods, eco-friendly and very comfortable, it was a delight. After breakfast, we walked the trail to the Jocotoco Antpitta area, about a mile along a very good trail. We were ahead of the bird's trainer, but still, the bird, one of the world's very rarest, came running down the trail to us. Everyone has a list of very favorite memories. Mine includes Panchito, a food-conditioned Jocotoco Antpitta, springing down the trail to meet us. You'll forgive, I hope, several views of this amazing creature and his Tawny Antpitta pal.
