Very big day.
The bellbirds have arrived. These amazing birds with their sexy wattles are one of the most sought-after cloud-forest birds here. As I finished a tour one of the agency guides came running in to say that there was one close-at-hand. About 30 seniors and all of the MBG staff ran outside to see. The bird was incredibly cooperative and I took a pile of photos.

Before I left, and to my great pleasure, the bird horked up what I assume was a large fruit pit. I exclaimed excitedly, but nobody seemed to understand my joy. Look carefully and you can see the pit a-coming!

I can now die happy.
