 Plantation Road, which starts right by the entrance to the tower, is a
good, easy graded dirt road that passes through a mature forest for
about four miles. The road follows a small creek, Río Chico Masambi,
where sometimes a Louisiana Waterthrush spends the winter. In most
places the forest is clear of undergrowth, which makes it especially
suited for observing shy, interior forest birds like tinamous and
leaftossers. Golden-crowned Spadebills are regular around the creek,
and White-breasted Wood-Wrens are very easy to find. When visiting
Plantation Road you also have a good chance to find an army ant swarm
and many of the birds that follow these swarms as they roam the forest
floor. Spotted, Bicolored and Ocellated Antbirds, Gray-headed Tanagers,
and Plain-brown, Northern Barred and (if you're lucky)
RuddyWoodcreepers. And if you're really lucky you may even find a
Hook-billed Kite.
