Notes

Checked out some rustling in the undergrowth and was surprised to see these two guys. Couldn't quite get a picture, but checked back 5 minutes later and one was looking around over a log - ducked right before I snapped the picture. I sat on a rock and waited for him for about 15 minutes, and got fooled by the other one who went running across the trail about 10 feet away and dove into some fallen palm branches. So no voucher. Was in the low 70s and windy.
