The Lodge and grounds offer a wide variety of birding with different trails holding different special birds. We did not get time to explore all of the trails and we did not connect with all of the "special" birds but we did see and hear a wide range of species. Clearly the immediate areas around the lodge accommodation was fairly easy birding with many species coming to visit the feeding station, plus the habitat was more open. Some of the trails were through dense rain forest making birding and photography rather more challenging.
The first set of photos were taken in the immediate vicinity of the Lodge. Feeders to attract hummingbirds and fruit eating birds were very effective in attracting a wide variety of species.
