Great tour - Did the 4 hour tour from 06:00-10:00 in the morning. I enjoyed it and the guide had a lot of knowledge about the different species of birds. She really was motivated and enthusiastic about the birds! We've seen a lot! And after the tour she sent me a checklist of all the birds we've seen.
