On our morning guided nature walk in the Monteverde Reserve, we headed off into the cloud forest along an abandoned road.

A fairly typical view into the cloud forest.

Outside the reserve's cafe, there's an impressive array of humingbird feeders.

Purple-throated Mountain-gem? I can't recall.

In flight.

The Violet Sabre-wing

A gray fox emerged from the forest and came sniffing around for lunch.

Waterfalls along our longish afternoon hike through the reserve.

The hillsides in the reserve were strangely reminiscent of the Oregon coast.

In the afternoon, the reserve's hanging bridge was completely empty of people.
