The El Copal Biological Reserve is the result of a decade&#8217;s hard work and determination by Beto and Patricia Chavez; owners, operators, and advocates for sustainable sources of income in rural Costa Rica.

I&#8217;m still refining my techniques, and my equipment isn&#8217;t great at handling long exposure noise, but this is by far my best attempt at capturing the Milky Way and all the potential of <a href='https://www.biodiversityinfocus.com/blog/2010/09/02/star-light-star-bright/' class='excerpt-more'>[...]</a>]]></description>

The birding was much improved this morning over yesterday with a few new species added to our total bird list for the lodge.

		<description><![CDATA[Today is our last full day here at El Copal Lodge, so I tried to make the most of it by getting up at 5:15 to catch the sunrise and snag some photos before birding with Joel until breakfast. The birds must have decided to sleep in however as there wasn’t much activity today.

		<description><![CDATA[5:30am and the sun is just peeking over the mountains; time to go birding! Without leaving the grounds of the lodge, we had a good hour of birding before breakfast with about 20 species confidently identified. A hearty breakfast of arrepes (dense pancakes), eggs, and honey and we were off.

		<description><![CDATA[Here comes the sun! Waking up at 6:30 for breakfast (eggs, rice, beans, freshly made tortilla) is easy when the sun is up and the flies are flying. Everyone was itching to get out into the jungle, and so we headed up towards the peak of the nearest mountain. We definitely had some great collecting, <a href='https://www.biodiversityinfocus.com/blog/2010/08/09/costa-rican-adventure-day-4-el-copal-reserve/' class='excerpt-more'>[...]</a>]]></description>
