about 1/2 mile down (SW) the river & found three birds - apparently pure himilais in a spot along the river (no water). Found them first foraging in small live trees. They then flew across the river bed to a small guanacaste only partly in leaf and into a mass of vines near two large guanacastes & an amate.
