Hi all, we are still in Mindo, seeing some amazing birds!! You would not believe the colours of the hummingbirds! This afternoon we watched a toucanet feeding it,s baby. We have met some very friendly gringos here - spent today with a couple from New Mexico who are building a house here - it is 3000 sq ft with decks all around. They are also building a small house for a full-time caretaker - both houses together will cost about $80,000!! They are also birders...
