Missed it but thanks for the alert for the show Gail. That makes at least
the third time I've missed a Harpy. Twice before I was with people and
there were extra scopes. We left the extra scopes set up at the 'Base
Camp' and on return were regaled by the views of the Harpy that they had
enjoyed in our absence. The bigger frustration is that each time the
groups that got to see them WERE NOT birders and probably couldn't
comprehend what they had seen and we had missed. Oh Well, it just means I
have to go back. Darn.

PS Anyone who wants to do the best Manu trip, I'll be happy to provide an
in-country contact for parrot licks, Giant River Otters and enough (well,
almost enough birds) to satisfy anyone.
