Thanks to the Corona-Virus-Quarantine we were finally able to get rid of the huge backlog in reviewing the camera trapping data. Especially at one location there have been hundreds of observations of Swainson's Thrush (Catharus ustulatus), see picture, and Rufous-breasted Antthrush (Formicarius rufipectus) in the last four months.
In terms of mammals, February 2020 was dominated by Tayra (Eira barbara) with 20 observations. There were quite a few occasions where more than one individual was observed which is not unusual for this species.
The Puma (Puma concolor) and the Nine-banded Armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus) with 9 and 7 observations complete the Top 3 for February.
We are forever grateful to the Universities of Lincoln, Sussex and Wolverhampton for helping us out with cameras
so that we currently have ten sites in our forest equipped cameras.
