Day two - March 6: the Harpy Eagle

Our first objective was the Harpy Eagle. Javier, the local guide, had located a nest on the property of a local landowner.

We arrive in our vehicles...











and the first thing we have to do is climb over or get through a fence...















We heard and saw some Red Howler monkeys.











We saw the Harpy Eagle nest but it was very far away. To get closer, we had to cross a muddy stream...













We got excellent looks at the young Harpy Eagle and heard him call (see the video)


















































We birded our way back from the nest,












and saw this interesting lizard.

















Montage of video from the first couple of days of the trip.






We had lunch and then birded on the road in the afternoon.
