Day 3 in Panamanian jungle:

Last night we had a gnarly thunder and lightning storm. Several beds got wet and it was a rush to move beds to try to keep all of are beds, and bedding dry. I really enjoy storms and this did not disappoint. 

Today I got switched from my group of plants to the group with mammals. I was very excited! It was very hot and humid today. Bug spray stings like a mother when you wipe your sweat with a towel over and over lol. 

In are project we are setting up game cameras to see what area of the forest hold the most animals. We are also setting flagging to mark distances to test bird sounds. I'm not exactly sure how it works I will find out tomorrow. I'm excited to have an adventure tomorrow with my new group!

 Day 9 Panama camera pick up day: Today, we went into various forest areas to retrieve game cameras, visiting the one-year forest, corridor, four-year forest, mountain, nine-year forest, and a nineteen-year forest. After checking the cameras, we were stoked to find footage of a whitetail doe, a peccary pig, and an unidentified species that might be an armadillo. The picture was only the body and not the head.

 Day 8 in Panama beach Day! Today was absolutely amazing and incredibly relaxing. We took a boat to different islands, exploring stunning beaches along the way. The scenery was beautiful. We went tubing, saw bottlenose dolphins, and snorkeled. I took a nap under a tree in the shade it was pure paradise. The feeling of the warm, soft sand between my toes was incredibly therapeutic, melting away all the stress. We had so much fun splashing in the water and enjoying the serene atmosphere. Drinking fresh coconuts added to the tropical vibe I loved it! Overall, it was a perfect day filled with fun, relaxation, and unforgettable memories.
