Administradores Nuevos!

Greetings!

We are Amanda and Daniel, los administradores nuevos, or new managers, as we are known by at least a few folks in Mindo. We are thrilled to be here at Reserva Las Tangaras until early January 2016! The diversity and beauty of this area is stunning! We have only been here three days, but we already feel immersed in life at the reserve (we have a running list of fun jobs to start and birds to see)! Sometimes is takes weeks to feel settled in a place, but here we felt quite at home within hours after arriving! Everyone we have met so far, in Mindo and at the reserve, has been very friendly and welcoming.

The reserve offers incredible opportunities to see amazing plant and animal life. In addition to our maintenance tasks, we have been studying the hummingbird species seen here and becoming familiar with the trails on the reserve. There is so much to see, and so much to do, both at the lodge and around the reserve!

Here we are doing some birding right outside the lodge.

It is very exciting when a mixed-flock descends upon the trees, giving us a chance to see multiple species at once!

We are very excited to learn all we can while we are here, and to welcome visitors from around the world to this remarkable place, Reserva Las Tangaras!

‘Til next time,

Amanda and Daniel
