Today we had a nice start as usual a nice breakfast and then packing to head out in our first day of research. we headed up the same trail as yesterday. Stopping for a couple of things the first being to set up cam traps to view mammal diversity. The first few places were a four-year-old teak forest at low and higher elevations. In the second location we did the mature forest, in there we also added flags for a method we're using to judge bird diversity by bird song. We also added flags and trail cams in a teak forest that was nine years old we wanted to add more in a couple other places but were worried about the rain and got a message telling to be back by a certain time, so we made a plan to finished tomorrow. After getting back we had a great dinner and got to relax a bit which is much needed after so much walking. after we had a discussion based on article sent to us which led to quite the range of views and opinions. All that was left was blog, packing for a busy day tomorrow, and sleep thankfully.

 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.
