This afternoon we took the "Jungle Boat Ride" through the La Tovara mangroves near San Blas. Our main target was the Northern Potoo (easily seen afte dark), but there's plenty of other stuff in the mangroves: Yellow-crowned Night Heron, Bare-throated Tiger-Heron, Green Kingfishers, Lesser Nighthawk and Pauraque. The biting insects that San Blas is so famous for weren't too bad either, so a nice finish to our day.
