CRIRE 12.13.18

Today I joined in another groups walk down to a field to observe birds. Their project was looking at tree encroachment and how species of trees take over after so many years. We walked with the Ngabe as well. There's a tree called the cecropia  that we also learned about. The tree provides sustenance and housing for a species of ant and the ant protects the tree from predators. I heard a few birds while on my walk but it was difficult to identify the birds through the canopy. I'm getting a little used to hiking up and down from the river trail now although it is still a little difficult. Costa Rica is beautiful!
