Rufous-tailed Hummingbird
We met early in the morning at the lodge and went to the covered observation deck to stay out of the rain. The birds, on the other hand, were out in it.

Crested Guan, on the feeder tree, where staff put out fruit to attract the birds.

The Montezuma Oropendolas were, by far, the most frequent visitors at the feeders.

The rain at the lodge continued, so Erick took us down to La Fortuna and we stopped on the way to do some birding along the road.

It was still foggy and drizzly, but we stopped and got out of the bus for a few minutes at a birdy spot along the road.

Not a great photo, but...

...given our vantage point for taking pictures, it turned out pretty good.

A worker at the reserve showed us the nest in a bush along a fence at the side of the trail.

As we were finishing the trail, one of the workers pointed out this hummingbird nest.

After leaving Sendero Bogarín, Erick took us to a pond on a street without a name (via sin nombre), where he'd seen reported a Sungrebe.

At the far end of the pond, we saw the Sungrebe and were able to walk a dike to get close enough for a decent photo.

On our way back to the bus, we found a House Wren in the grass on the dike.

There was a fruiting tree across the parking lot from the lodge office that attracted a lot of birds.
