This morning, all the students split into groups and conducted their bird counts. We have already surpassed our goal of finding 200 different bird species!
During the day, we took advantage of the last time we would be at a beach in Costa Rica. Students swam in the ocean and relaxed on the sand.
During our class discussion, the owner of the lodge surprised us with green coconuts called pipa (pictured). Also pictured is a northern ghost bat that resides outside of one of the cabins, a red backed squirrel monkey, and a dot-winged antwren.

Emily, you should absolutely try smuggling that monkey home to the U.S. These pictures are incredible and the trip looks amazing. You're missing out on single digit temperatures and the pale faces of those whom aren't enjoying what looks to be a tropical paradise. Enjoy the rest of the vacation, er... session studying abroad.
