Day 8

San Vito

Day of rest woot woot! When I woke up I didn't bother getting ready just went down to eat breakfast and went back up to my room and went back to sleep. It felt so good to get extra sleep,  I could sleep all day, wake up tired and take another nap 😂 After lunch we went to San Vito and explored. They have some stores with cute clothes I found a romper. I forgot to get these chips called Taqueritos they're so good they taste like Takis (shout out to Cristy)! Also forgot to get some Pepsi!! We stopped at this bakery they had bomb desserts we just sat and took our time since we had a lot of time to kill until dinner. Most of the stores were either closed or closed early since it was Sunday. I seen they had this 5 way which I bet is crazy on a busy day. We ate at a pizza place it was delish, I had about 4 pieces. Today was a good day 😎

Agouti Parrots  Today we went up to the observation tower a little after breakfast. There wasn't as much birds there than in the garden but we were able to see some hummingbirds. It was warm up on the observation tower and I forgot my hat at home so my head was hot -_-  We came back to the garden to see if we could find better luck here and the garden never disappoints! We seen a Crested Caracara it was cool reminds me of an Eagle almost. Usually we walk around but we decided to sit down and observe behind casa Wilson and we seen more birds there in that one spot than we have anywhere else. It's almost the perfect spot except the lighting isn't great so it's hard to see the birds colors!   There were these Parrots that Jonathan had been hearing going crazy all week but we could never really get a good look because they move so fast and wouldn't stay in one spot for long. But we finally were able to see them pretty clearly and they stayed for awhile,

Banana tree Bird feeding station     On Tuesday we had an early morning, well early to me I'm NOT a morning person at all and breakfast here at the station every day is at 6:30!! The breakfast is a little different than back home not the typical cereal/oatmeal/pancakes but it is still good I enjoy it. Rodo gave us a tour of the garden and showed us the plants and trees. It was pretty cool we seen some sting less bees in the trunk of a tree. Later that afternoon Jonathan and I met with our mentor Margaret to start our project.     For our project we'll be going out in the field and learning how to ID birds in different forest habitat types, learning how to use field guides, observe and record the birds behavior and strata. With our data we should be able to learn if certain birds are only found in certain habitat or are found in several different habitats. We are also supposed to be comparing our data with past data and hopefully also to traditional ecological knowl

We started our posters today, I thought it was going to be simple at first to put together a graph but it  wasn't. We knew we wanted to do a graph showing total number of species per strata, and total number of birds per strata. Scott helped us out by showing us some tricks on Excel. He showed us how to change our codes for strata to words (ex: 1=ground) He taught us how to change all the 1's to the word ground which simplified it for the graphs. He also showed us how to make Pivot tables and I love them they make things way easier I'll definitely be using it from now on. We also got the simple stuff done on the poster like title, objective, methods and acknowledgements. Overall I think we got a lot done and I'm looking forward to seeing the end results. Today my dream came true someone told us there were monkeys outside so we all rushed outside. One of the monkeys kept peaking at us from behind a leaf it was adorable 💗
