Time to meet two other members of our little birding and adventure party.
Elaine and Clif, from the Kitchener-Waterloo area of Ontario.
My Tilley (hat) had company this trip. Clif is the only person I've met so far who has managed to wear out or otherwise destroy a Tilley hat, twice! The company, true to its word, replaced the hats. [Go here to find out why you should have a Tilley hat.]
Elaine, The Spotter. No kidding, birding tour companies ought to hire this woman to come along and spot birds for them. I consider myself to be a pretty good spotter of the little feathered beasties, but Elaine totally blew me out of the trees.

By the time we reached Surama (in a few days), she was in top form. Thanks to her, we all picked up several Lifer woodpeckers, a jacamar or two, and many other difficult-to-see birds.
Yes, Clif and Elaine are great people and terrific adventure companions - exactly the sort of people one hopes will be in the group. We had many laughs.
