Day 16: Turrialba, Cartago Province

Home Biota: what is it? Animals Plants Mammals Birds Insects NL EN

I was supposed to go looking for a sunbitter today, but it's raining too hard to walk safely. The guide delays the excursion with a day to get less (no?) rain. I'm mainly working on the website today; there are 4 new blogs. I do manage take some nice pictures of the snowcap. That name is much better that Dutch name: "white-crowned Hummingbird". In many photos there's actually too little light for decent photos.
