The light for the moth sheet was still on when we started birding from the deck, which helped illuminate the birds in the early morning. |

We got back on the highway to return to San Isidro Lodge and saw this Blue-gray Tanager in a tree across the road. This appears to be the 'white edged' variety of Blue-gray Tanager. |

Andres spotted this Black-billed Thrush in a small tree next to the bus. When we got out to take a look, it flew to the power line across the road. |
