We had a wonderful extension to the birdy environs of El Valle de Anton with Canopy guide Eliecer. We spent one morning birding at La Mesa and Las Minas Trail, and the afternoon at Cara Iguana. The following day was spent exploring the productive Altos del Maria. The extension finished up with a visit to the coastal lowlands of Juan Hombron and Santa Clara before we said goodbye to Eliecer and headed to the Canopy Tower. -- Chris
