Day Four: Bird Conservatory


On day three we headed up the mountains on quite a perilous little road trip with all these crazy twists and turns, and almost car accidents, to reach a wildlife center called the Asa Wright Nature Centre. We saw tons of wildlife: hummingbirds (close up feeding!), agoutis (I love these things), lizards, and tons of other native birds, plants, and trees. Apparently, bird watching is the number one tourist attraction in Trinidad---who knew?! After quietly watching a handful of exotic birds (and those cuddly agoutis) feed as we watched from a veranda, we went on a guided tour on one of the trails. It was great fun, except for the annoying New York couple who kept asking the guide annoying, repetitive questions that had nothing to do with anything...and no I wasn't talking about me and Marcus!
