| Birdwatching by boat on the river estuary |
 |
| A boat-billed heron |
Awake very early and up at 6 for our boat trip up the river estuary for birdwatching. Warren was our guide again for this personal tour, and Enrico drove the boat up the Rio Tamarindo. We saw numerous water birds and others native to the region or migrating: blue heron, snowy egret, tri-coloured heron, white ibis, green kingfisher, whimbrels and willets, and even an osprey, amongst others. We also saw mud crabs and a lurking crocodile between the mangroves hemming us in on either side.
We spent the day by the beach, pool and our room, and had our Thanksgiving dinner at a small pizza place. Bites more troublesome.
