Your blog is amazing! Thank you for making us feel like a piece of us is with you in the Rain Forest!!!
Grant wanted to know if you have seen any iguanas yet?
The frog audio was awesome as well!!!
Can't wait to here more when you return.

Wow... By the way, what is that clicking noise in the Gabcast?
~Sophia G
The clicking noise is from some frogs... but I'm not sure what kind. There are also some screech owls that live near by. I hope to be able to learn more tonight during our frog survey... stay posted.
Grant, I saw some iguanas near the airport when the plane landed, but surprisingly, I haven't seen any in the rainforest... maybe there isn't quite enough sunshine. Thanks for your question.
Mr. L
The frogs are so loud! How do you sleep with the loud croaks? It must be easier to see if the frogs are healthy when they are out and you can observe them. I hope you are having a great time and you are learning a lot about the rainforest.
