On a hillside above Savegre lodge a garden has been set up for birders, and particularly for bird photographers. I had Batsu Garden all to myself on the second morning at Savegre, and I was especially happy to see the Acorn Woodpecker, bigger than life, and a life list bird. The locals call him the "Clown" hummingbird.
Here are some shots from that experience, plus a few more from Marino's tour.

Marino was very excited that I got a picture.

And here he is!

He showed up almost immediately. I couldn't believe it.
