Here's the sum-up:
Lots of birding around but not in the lodge grounds, mostly around Lake Arenal. We spent well over 2 hours trying to call out and get pictures of just two birds - the Thicket Antpitta and the Bare-Crowned Antbird. Later in the afternoon, I also spent nearly half an hour trying to get the perfect shot of a Long-tailed Tyrant (more on that another day).
To add to the excitement, we also got chased off by a swarm of Africanized bees, and we saw both a vine snake and a bird-eater snake. Dad got right up in the latter's face (Mom is gonna be soooooo pissed).
Great food all day. Tomorrow is mostly on the road. Bird count is 226, putting Dad's life-list somewhere over 2,000' and mine somewhere over 50.
Since all yesterday's pic were mine, tonight's are all Dad's. Enjoy.
