During WWII, the forest was used as a base of the local Partisan squad (the communist resistance), hiding in subterranean shelters. Some of those shelters are still around. A Lesser Spotted Eagle high in the thermal, getting ever smaller. And a White-tailed Eagle making an appearance in the same thermal! And there it is!

Guyana had been suffering from an extensive period of drought when we visited, this lack of water ultimately was the primary reason which prevented us from searching for the Harpy Eagle. However, the torrential rain forced these large cracids back into the now almost completely dark forest just as it pushed us into shelter.

Drifting slower and looking closer, we observed a tiny Malachite Kingfisher hunting in the sheltered shallows. The now familiar sound of a pair of African Fish-Eagles dominated the soundscape. Blue-cheeked Bee-eater (above), African Fish-Eagle (below). Squacco Heron. This tiny kingfisher thoroughly excited everyone on board.

Each day, the small bird then has to fly down and find a resting place, an area to feed and take shelter. If it finds a good spot to survive for several months, a spot with enough food and shelter, it might be able to fly all the way back to the north for another summer of song and nesting.

There are plenty of lookouts and shelters, but there is no drinking water available at the toilet facilities, so you need to carry plenty of water. We encountered a Grey-headed Fish Eagle flying through the area, which kindly landed in a tree and allowed for photography! Grey-headed Fish Eagle.

From his time hunting, Brian knew where rafts usually sheltered from the wind on the Santa Rosa Sound, and we strolled down the shore towards the black dots in the distance. View of the Santa Rosa Sound shoreline.

And even with that, it’s difficult for all of us – whether we’re quarantining, sheltering in place, or just hunkering down – to escape the strange, oppressive monotony of our new day-to-day lives. For one thing, all this social distancing can make each day feel “like déjà vu all over again”, as a famous ball player once put it.
