Early on in the trip we did a post dinner walk down the entrance road to Canopy Camp. Domi called in a Tropical Screech-owl fairly quickly. This looks to be a gray morph, many of us had previously seen the much less common
rufous morph in Costa Rica.
It was more similar to our Eastern than I expected. We heard Black-and-white and Crested Owls though I'm not sure we ever completely settled whether it was Black-and-white or Mottled that would give single hoots that we heard most nights in camp. The Black-and-white started coming it to his speaker but pretty quickly lost interest.
Looking for eyeshine revealed a couple of Kinkajous, the first of 3 lifer mammals.
I'd never even heard of the next two. First is a Central American Wooly-opposum.
And finally a pair of Night Monkeys that were considerably higher up in a cecropia than the other creatures.
