Heene, H. 1987 31 July past the Pensión Floz-Mar, hoping to see a quetzal. (continued) On either side are cleared pastures w/ numerous the widely spaced in places large forest trees. Overcast. Tried to locate a singing bellbird without success. Finally in quick succession Carmen spotted a ♂ Crocias tricaudulata calling from the crown of a large tree – and we had a fine view out to him because of the road's slope - and I located a ♀ Phaemonachus moquinro in another tree. a fine walk, after which we visit the Fogdens. Left Monteverde after lunch at the Pensión Quetzal, and had a great ride through pouring rain down the hills. It took us six hours to get back to San José because twice the main roads were blocked – once by a huge fresh landslide and once by a fatal car accident. 1 August spent the day in San José. 2 August all the way back to Berkeley - 14 hours, thanks to a miserable layover in Miami.
