seen. Returning to the river we came across
a group of several howler monkeys apparently
settling into a couple trees for the night. This
was at approximately the same place as a
similar group was seen last year, possibly

Heavy rains and thunderstorms began last
night and have continued through until now
(~10 AM) and show no signs of letting up in the

We returned last night at ~ 8:30.
