From San Isidro, we bird down the east slope
to upper tropical (foothill) elevations, where the rushing water seems to
pour from everywhere. This is the zone that is richest for the frenetic
mixed flocks of foraging tanagers, for which the east slope is justifiably
famous. This gorge along the Loreto road may also host
Torrent Ducks and White-capped Dippers.
