I've been guiding a three-time Olympic medalist and his family the past few days and they got to see some great stuff, including Lesser Anteater, Collared Peccary, a sloth, plus four species of monkey. The undoubted bird highlight of the past week or so was a Grey-breasted Crake running around in the open near the floating deck. I'd only ever heard this bird here as it is normally extremely elusive and always hiding in long grass. A male Purple-throated Cotinga was also nice and a chick successfully hatched in the Gould's Jewelfront nest. It has gotten extremely hot and sticky in anticipation of the first rain, which must surely come any day now.
