We woke up this morning to the sound of heavy rain and birds calling. A wonderful way to send us off after a month of hard work in the field. Before leaving we spent one last afternoon at the swimming hole on the Quebrada Sonadora – there is a certain peace that comes from places like this that is hard to recapture after returning to a city.

This blog has primarily featured photos of our adventures. For a change of place, click here for a recording of the sound of the rainforest at night. The chirps are the sound of the coquí frog – the forest comes alive at night.

There will be a few more Puerto Rico posts in the following days as I work through the last of my photos, and then back to regular posting!
