We had a bit of a lazy morning, woke up without an alarm, ate breakfast then drove up to the gate of the Monteverde Cloud Forest Preserve. We didn't go in because it is really busy, even at 7:30am. We did stop by the hummingbird feeders by the gate where I found 2 new hummers for my life list. I also went birding for three hours at Curi-Chaga Preserve which was beautiful mix between dense cloud forest and landscaped areas and there were just the right number of people that I didn't feel alone but I was undisturbed.
We are up to 160 species for the trip, 6 of which were added today, and 3 of those are new to my life list. The overnight low was 68° which was perfect for sleeping in an unheated / unair-conditioned room. The high was 81° with 69% humidity (84° Real Feel which is acceptable)
