We left Reserva Montibelli for Granada, and paid a visit to the Volcan Mombacho, with a view of the cloud forest. There is an extensive canopy tour at the top, which we did not do, but there was plenty to look at on a trail closer to the bottom.
Four views of a Yellow Warbler foraging about in a beautiful tree. Unfortunately my brain is only big enough to handle a few bird species but I want to start paying more attention to the botanical elements, even if it’s in my next life…
Also in this beautiful tree were two Black-Headed Saltators.
Continuing with the magical atmosphere of the cloud forest…
It’s perhaps a good thing that the weather back home has been raw and rainy. Nothing (except maybe Bernie) is distracting me from paying attention to Nicaragua in my head.
I don’t seem to have many bird pictures from this day. Earlier in the morning before we left Montibelli, I guess I took pictures of a Melodious Blackbird bathing.
I’ll be back again with another short post. I have two more days’ worth of photographs to choose and then it will be time to pay attention to spring here.
One more photograph of the Yellow Warbler. 
Great captures Lisa! 🙂
Thanks, H.J.!
Wonderful photos and variety, love that last Yellow Warbler shot, Lisa!
Thanks, Donna! It’s funny somehow less is more, this was a short trip and I’ve still got a few more photos left to post…I’m trying to get over my bad habit of never finishing going through everything after a trip. I think. (!)
I know how you feel! I was in Florida for three weeks in February, had I not posted every few days while on vacay, I’d still be drowning in the hundreds of photos I took. 🙂
At least you can do that in Florida. For the first four days we were in Nicaragua we had no WiFi, I was supposed to have text messaging but it never happened (not that I care, really)…but I would probably have been too tired anyway at the end of the day to post anything. 🙂
