Today was a bit long we were up at 4:30 to get ready to head out by 5:30. We wanted to do our bird song survey to count all the bird diversity in the area. Alberto and I headed up the mountain in which I did the first and second point. While Alberto headed to the last point and to change out the memory cards in the cams. So, we can double check that they are running correctly and at the right angle once we finished that part we went to back to camp. We had breakfast and repacked to go out to set more cam traps in a corridor then a teak forest that's been growing for a year. About that time, it started to really get sunny, so we really needed a break, so we rested for a bit before heading back to set the last two cam in which turned out to be my favorite area so far. A nineteen-year-old teak tree forest it was so nice walking around there and the tracks the animal left were so fun to look for like deer tracks and anteater burrows. When we got back it was dinner and poster work.

 8th post  05-26-24 Today was our fun day we were ready by 6am to be at the boat heading to three islands. We had a lot of fun swimming, snorkeling, and I got stung by a jellyfish so lots of fun experiences. The water felt great it was a beautiful day. We had so much fun going tubing falling off or staying on we all fell off at least once when we were on the giant hotdog. After on the way back we saw dolphins in the water, and it was great. The rest of the day was poster work.

 1st blog  5-19-2024 We're starting this blog on a travel day we headed out about 8:45 out of Panama City toward the end goal of Batipa. The bus was comfortable and the journey, while long didn't feel too bad couple bathroom stops and lunch and in about 6 hours we had made it. Thats when things got exciting, we got a tour after settling in which we seen awesome mangroves, beautiful birds and some hungry monkeys all within the small tour. I can say without a doubt this is one of the best sceneries I have ever seen.

 9th post  05-27-24 Today we got up early to pick up our trail cams first the one closest so year one teak forest while we tried to identify as many birds as we could. We went back for a quick breakfast and little break, and we then went back out for the other cameras. We first went to year nineteen for two cameras and then it was our group job to grab teak year nine after as the other group went to the mountains. Then we spent a couple hours pouring though footage and mostly it was wind activating the camera, but we got a few hits which was nice. The rest of the day was spent finishing posters for the next day.
