Cristalino chronicles part 2

Well, there's not been anything quite as exciting as an Ornate Hawk-Eagle trying to catch a Green Ibis since I last wrote but every day is different here in the Amazon.  One of my guests got to see 11 tapirs in one day, which is ridiculous even for this time of year.  My latest group 'only' got to see nine of them during their four-night stay but also saw the elusive tayra as well as a southern tamandua.  After two weeks here, I had seen or heard around 280 species of birds and I now have a few days off to find some more before my next group arrives.
