Birded the Waterfall and Elfin Forest Trails today, mainly to retrieve the camera trap we set up high on the Elfin Forest Trail a week ago. Today was by far the quietest, bird wise, I've ever experienced at REGUA. Some good birds were heard only, including Star-throated Antwren, Black-cheeked Gnateater, Pin-tailed Manakin but almost no birds showed themselves. The best sighting was a Tiger Rat Snake Spilotes pullatus. The Elfin Forest Trail was little better, with 1m Salvadori's Antwren, 1 Channel-billed Toucan, 1f Crested Becard, a flock of Olive-green Tanager and 2 Red-necked Tanager being the highlights. A Spider wasp seen to paralyze a small spider was also noteworthy.
