Jan 20, 2026: Eco Lodge Itororo

Today we spent the entire day birding. We left the lodge about 7am and drove around the lower elevations. We would stop along side the road, get out of the car, bird along the road and get back in the car and drive to the next spot. Granted we were on the small country roads and not the main roads. There was hardly any traffic.

We had a bagged lunch along side the road on a hillside.

It was raining at the lodge and our guide was hopeful it wouldn’t be raining lower down and it wasn’t- well it was a little bit.

We saw 94 species of birds today. I think I missed a couple but for sure Jennifer saw them all.

We were pretty tired when we got back to the lodge and went to bed shortly after dinner.
